  1. I take Minnesota or Boston over Houston and put them at 6. Houston been mid all season losing to teams in the clutch, teams their not supposed to they really like 7th at best

    Philly just clamped🗜️ em up too and Embiid looking back like himself, 76ers need to be talked about more imo.

  4. put some respect on my raptors. They have great young team with a deep roster that has top rated offense and defense….they are better than the rockets and nuggets

  9. I thought Philly was supposed to be top 5 this year? How's the Sixers season going so far ?? … "they hovering around .500. Teams like Portland are catching up to the mighty Sixers." ….. oh

  14. I agree with the top 5 but slide the Pistons down to 5. Any of the top 4 western teams are better than them. Rockets have been inconsistent but I think they have potential to destroy any opponent they face besides OKC.

  24. One team from the east. The east is soft. That’s why the pistons record is what it is. They are good but in the playoffs there inability in the half court will be exploited. They get most of their offense from steals and rebounds and getting out in the break. They have trouble in the half court and that’s playoff basketball. That’s why teams with fast pace styles don’t do well in the playoffs. They will have good regular season records but fall flat in the playoffs. But the east is super soft.

  28. We wanted the Knicks last year & y'all got lucky Stew was out. I pray we see the Knicks again in the playoffs. I told one of my New York homies in middle of us losing 28 in a row we'd we a championship before the Knicks and I need that to happen

  32. Stephen A Smith, wearing his clown face. Deep within he is crying miserably because the no.1 team on his list got beat by the Raptors at the Thunder's own homecourt 2 days ago. The Raps are now 3rd in the East SAS!
