I'm down for fantasy b ball
The heat will have approx 8 regular season losses barring no injury.
Wade will be MVP
heat win the title

Durant has already peaked all down hill from here. Ask me to make logical sense of this later in the year.

Lakers are clear favorites coming out of the west. Thunder blew it by not making a move on any of the bigs during FA so they didn't upgrade. Lakers got deeper and that's the only legitimate team out west that can challenge them.

It's really hard to say right now but I think any team with depth at the 4 and 5 position will take Miami.

I'll play fantasy. H2H 1 win. Standard 9 cat.

was your intended purpose in this post to to make statements that are the opposite of what will happen?


edit- to the mod/super mod/admin who changed my sig, not cool brah

[IRockNvegas]

Lol actually to many people already think the opposite will happen. everybody wants to predict the unlikely so they can say "I told you so!" are you once of those people ?

[chillin@thebellag]

No, I'm not. I'm never wrong about anything so it'd probably get a bit redundant if I felt the need to say that after every prediction I made.

The durant thing is probably a bit too long term, but if you're a gambling man I'm sure we can set a wager on any or all of the other 3 assertions you made.

[BarrelO]

If LeBron is Dwayne Wade's Robin, I can only hope that makes Dwight Howard the Joker.



OK, maybe it's a stretch. But he does smile a lot.

[IRockNvegas]

My heat and wade prediction should come with odds since it is riskier. Wade is injury prone, already was pulled out for a pulled hammy. Heat playing in the toughest conference will also make it difficult for the team to avoid injuries.

Durant prediction, I'm going out on a limb there , just hoping teams are more prepared to guard him this year.

Btw chillin, did u see katching post on the 500k free roll and his good friend made the final table? U being a poker player and all I would think you would be interested

[chillin@thebellag]

Already started with the backtracking and excuses I see ...

Let me find out what the preliminary odds are for those two, but barring something ridiculous, I'll definitely give you action on the Wade MVP one.

I'm gonna pretend that you didn't just say that the Southeast is the toughest conference in the league...

Durantula is unguardable imo, we can set up a 5-10 year escrow and I'll give you action on that one too.

Gonna take a look at that thread now...

[IRockNvegas]

Let's just say Durant doesn't improve over last seasons #'s , yes south eastern conference since Atlanta has drastically improved is the toughest.

[chillin@thebellag]

"Durant has already peaked all down hill from here" =/= "Let's just say Durant doesn't improve over last seasons #'s"

You honestly believe that from top to bottom the southeast is tougher than both the northwest and southwest...really?

[kimball]

Royale - I'll jump in that fantasy league if there's still a spot.

The Lakers are still the best TEAM. They'll win the west. But the Thunder intrigue me... what if they made a move ??? The rest of the west is weak.

The Heat have 2 great players and this guy Bosh who would never win anything on his own. I'm not sold. Let's watch them play some real games first.

Chicago... Orlando and Boston could all beat them. I like the Bulls.

And let's see were Melo goes... I'm not sold he's staying in Denver.

Easy, what team is worth a shit in those 2 divisions?

[Sweat_shop]

Hopefully orlando can do something this year

[Sweat_shop]
