So far the only team the posters on this thread got more wrong than the Celtics is the Bucks.

Yeah no one pictured them tanking so hard this season when they were the team that always battled for the playoffs and made pretty good mid round/late lottery picks. Their injury riddled start to the season was good incentive though with such a draft.

I think Milwaulkee and Phoenix are my two biggest surprises.
Everyone else is pretty much where I thought they'd stand. I thought the Cavs may be slightly better than they are but they're coming around with Deng.
Probably didn't expect New York to be so poor but injuries are injuries.

Yeah, a lot of turnover with much better wing players in Mil. last year. I love how the Suns have surprised themselves.

  I would have guessed the Cavs.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
9 games left and this thread is still relevant.
Anyone's thoughts changed much? I must say I underestimated how bad the East would be.
With 9 games left I think we finish about 27 wins if we play well.
Rondo could use a bit more rest. No need to gamble on pointless games now.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Haven't changed my thoughts, although I did overestimate the C's. I was thinking we'd win around 30 games. It seems 25 is the more realistic bet :)
