warriors > clippers
cavs > pacers
celtics > hawks
raptors > wizards (although I wouldn't be at all surprised if the raptors lost here)
pistons > hornets (I predicted the pistons for lower wins cuz reggie jackson is out to start the season, but I think they're the 4th best team in actuality)

Indiana gonna be a lot better than u think mustard. Paul George is the truth and surrounding myles turner with guys like big al and thad young who can keep him on the right development path is a good thing
Jeff Teague for George Hill was an even trade at best for indy but they got better everywhere else. 3 seed behind Cleveland and Boston, mark it down now

the celtics were already at 47 wins last season, and they had a point differential that was solidly better than their wins- I think it was a 49 or 50 win point differential. al horford is an enormous upgrade, and a lot of their young players are projected to improve, like marcus smart. factor in how much time kelly olynyk, who would probably be included in their best lineups that don't involve playing super small, and the time jae crowder missed, and I think they'll be really good last season.
there's also no way the raptors will be as good from a regular season wins perspective as they were last season.

Indiana is one of the teams with the highest variability- I could see them being as high as 3rd even. I just see a lot of flaws as well. Myles Turner will be really special, but I think it might be asking too much of him to replace Ian Mahinmi's defense right away. In general the defense will be a ton worse, both with the new personnel and the loss of Frank Vogel. They have a lot of 1v1 shot creation but not a ton of good passing or efficient players, and PG13 is really their only true 2-way player right now (well Thaddeus Young is mediocre on both ends so I guess that counts).
EDIT: all that being said, paul george is so good that I would not at all be surprised if he just carried them to a 4th seed or something

Derrick rose is beyond washed up, he never had many appreciable skills outside of his freak athleticism (his handling but his shooting has always been bad and he's not a great distributor + has average court vision compared to his peers), and the sheer number of injuries he's dealt with have sapped what was left of that.

I will break with tradition and actually watch some non-pacers games this season - and that comes in the form of the Bucks. Mainly because I want to see what a team that pays Matthew Dellavedova 38 million looks like + they've got some interesting players lol.
