So the worst team in the league last season is now better than the 8th seeded team in the west because they added Towns?
You're crazy fam.
Yes AD is the second coming but even without him the Pelicans are better than the Wolves.
Unfortunately for Mr Second coming, as you call him, NBA is a TEAM sport and the Pelicans aren't a good one. Stat stuffing doesn't impress me. Winning does.
Towns. Wiggins. Zach looked great this summer.
Add Rubio, who’s top 5 best passers and you have a decent TEAM.
With veteran leadership from Garnet and AMiller, they're certainly better than the Pelicans aka ADavis & 4 guys.
T-Wolves > Pelicans

Dog.
JR shooting 10 3's a game will be fun though.
Love will be happy because he'll get way more shots with Myrie out.

That moment when you realize that there wasn't much of a gap (if at all) between Iman Shumpert and Richard Jefferson last season.
I don't think this slows Cleveland down at all

One of the best bench Centers in the league last year, highest PER of them all
I wanted a more defensive center, but I'll settle

Shump still being in the league amazes me
But then again, I do have a personal vendetta against him

Kyrie's out until the new year? Wow.
*edit
Nvm, no timetable. He should take his time and skip the season

Except there was, defense.
Iman was a way better defender than Jefferson, considering how Bron doesn't like to play defense anymore, he was invaluable on the wing.
There's nobody on that team to defend the wing now, they going to be food out there.
Jefferson is better offensively but that's all and that's not even much or as valuable since they don't need offense.

Eh...as the season went along their team defense was pretty solid. I don't think Iman Shumpert is such an important part of that scheme that his absence will totally shut down the entire scheme.
Regardless, Iman Shumpert being out until the new year isn't going to make or break the Cavs season. If they don't go all the way...it won't be because Iman Shumpert missed 14 weeks.

Their defense got better as soon as Shump got there because of him and Mosgov, there's a reason JR couldn't start over him even though he's way better on offense.
I'll be surprised if they replicate that defense without him, with Love playing more minutes and Bron's usage.

The East isn't as bad as everyone wants to continue saying.
Sure there isn't any Super Star like Harden or Durant in the East but there is a better amount of teams to round out this years than previous.

Cavs
Bulls
Wizards
Heat
Bucks
Those are the only teams that really matter in the East.

tbh the Bucks won't really matter like those other teams until year after this one
Not saying the east is bad but the west is just too damn much. The damage they cause each other before the finals is nothing compared to the east

Raptors and Hawks should be 45 to 52 win teams in the East.
