[Mr.Baller]

Which non-playoff team last year is gonna have a playoff spot this year ?

Brooklyn

Call me a homer, but I think Detroit can push for a 7/8 seed.

I honestly believe that the Raptors could make the playoffs this year with big V ( Jonas Valanciunas )

 

[Elite]

The Raptors are one of the worst teams in the NBA...

 

[RipCity32]

Orlando wont be there, likely replaced by Brooklyn.
Chicago and Atlanta will be pushed by Detroit and Milwaukee for the 7/8th seed.

 

[ZigZag]

Wolves, Bucks, Rockets can all compete as well imo.

 

[Elite]

Even without Derrick Rose and Joe Johnson, the Bulls and Hawks still have significantly more talent.

Milwaukee, Hawks, and Rose-less Bulls will still be much better than Detroit

Toronto too probably. Detroit didnt get that much talent around them for this year

Wow calm down bro , they maybe haven't reach success yet because of some young players that are still not playing as they should but look at their roster ...

I actually really like what we have ...

Raps could be a decent sleeper team if Jonas plays like he's thought to and not the way he did during the Olympics


Jonas-Bargs-Ross-Derozan-Lowry


I can see an 8 seed possibly, especially with Atlanta losing Joe, and they might dump off Smoove too. But its all on Jonas tho

 

[Elite]

Still not playing any defense

 

[RipCity32]

I said they would push, not that they are a lock to make it..
I think they are going to surprise people though. We started the season 4-20, then finished it 21-21. Was apparent that they weren't jelling at all at the beginning of the season. Which made sense with a new coach, a young team, and no training camp to prepare. With a full off-season to get some coherency together, I think we will be better next season. We really aren't an awful team, and I don't think a playoff push is out of the question at all. Especially if we can get good minutes out of Drummond his rookie year. Even if it isn't offensively, we just need him to be better than what we had last year defensively downlow, which wasn't much.

Yep the teams depends a lot on Jonas ... but if only Derozan could improve his jumper ... If his jumper gets better I could see the Raptors having even bigger chances of making the playoffs .

Well since Dwayne Casey came , they are starting to play better defense so that's already a good start now hopefully this year the players are more comfortable with coach Casey's system .
