Same format as NFL thread. Answer the prior question, submit a new one.
 
 
Are we overlooking the Pacers, considering that they'll likely get Paul George back later in the season, heading into the playoffs?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't see Paul George coming back. He could, but why rush it? He's not going to be 100%.

So no, I don't think we're overlooking them. I don't see how they're going to score enough to stay in the hunt, but it is the East.

Are the Clippers a legit contender?

 

[bosoxlover12]

I think they represent the West in the Finals personally

Great coaching, two All Stars


Will a player start the All Star Game based solely on reputation, not stats? If so, who?

 

[Hurricane Season]

Yes, Kobe

Over/under 32 ppg for Westbrook without KD.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Under. I think between 25-30. Not over 30 tho.

How do you think the Suns will fare with Isaiah Thomas, Goran Dragic, and Eric Bledsoe?

They'll be fine. Dragic and Bledsoe are definitively better players so it's not like Thomas's role isn't pretty obvious. 
 
Who will have a better year at C? Robin Lopez or Omer Asik?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Statistically give me Lopez, who is sneakily super efficient.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

You have to ask a question CC

 

[Mr.Baller]

Are the raptors going to finish top 3 in the east ?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Maybe because their division is weak but they aren't a top 3 team on paper.

Make a shot in the dark call for MIP this year and it can't be Giannis

 

[BwareDWare94]

Ricky Rubio.

Who has a better year as a third scoring option, Chandler Parsons or Terrance Jones?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Not even sure Jones is the third option with Ariza there.

I go with Parsons because he's the better player, period.

No bias with the Rubio pick btw? Haha

O/U 1.5 playoff teams from the Atlantic Division? (Knicks, Raptors, Nets, Celtics, 76ers)

 

[buzzy]

Under - Raps.

Anthony Davis gets an All NBA 1st Team nod. T/F

 

[CameronCrazy06]

False. Can't see him being above LeBron or Durant unless Duran't injury costs him more time than expected

O/U 30 ppg for Russell Westbrook during Durant's injury

 

[bosoxlover12]

Over. He's gonna kill it


Who averages more MPG for Detroit: Monroe or Smith?

 

[Pugz]

they'll both hover around 16ppg, but i say josh.

kiwi leonard makes an all star team?

 

[Mobruler]

Absolutely yes. He's going to be a career top 10 NBA player, and that would naturally start this season.

Andre Drummond is 1st team All-NBA Center this season?

 

[RipCity32]

Nah, he's not there quite yet. Maybe 3rd team though.
 
Thunder stay top 6 in the West until Durant comes back from injury?

 

[Mr.Baller]

True, Westbrook would carry this team with Ibaka until KD comes back
 
Is Andre Drummond the best rebounder in the league ?

 

[Hurricane Season]

I've gotta say yes.  He's right there with Deandre Jordan.  He's relentless on the offensive glass.  
 
Does Rubio finally put it all together this year?
