I really can't see the Heat not winning if they are not healthy. They upgraded at both center and point guard tremendously and even depth wise they are much, much stronger with Cole, Parsons, and Blair off the bench.

i named PHX as one of the western big four teams. Won't call it underestimating :>. Rockets depend on old players to much - I believe 5th is max they can achieve. Bulls are depleted as hell (mentioned it). But Bulls still have Rose. Don't forget I have luol deng as my starting sf,.and super sub Louis Williams backing up pg and sg |

Ill take DMC, BG, KD, George, and RW over Noah, Faried, Gallinari, James, and Wall Plus ill take Scola, Hill, JO, and Leonard over their bench...just saying |

I know you would, but FBB is always about have stars/big names.
I just feel the Heat are defensively sound and more balanced then any other team.

Lebron is far better than everyone else, so Miami has that going at least.

My starting line up defensively goes:
wall - B
LBJ - A
Galo - B
Faried - B+
Noah - A-
just throwing that out there. I don't typically get into chat and just let my team's play do the talking. Anti-Mark Cuban

I wasn't comparing myself to you. But your team does look better on paper.

The Warriors aren't looking too bad this year hopefully we progressed from last year.

Pleased with my preseason. Didn't start Carmelo and Chandler to see what my bench could do, but had a nice 30-17 record. Jrue proving that he can get busy, averaged 27.7 ppg.
Other preseason thoughts:
1. lol @ San Antonio selling their first rounder to OKC for chump change. The rich get richer, as San Antonio sits at dead last in the West after a half-season mock sim.
2. Chicago won the East last year, but they are giving up 10.3 ppg more than last season. Replacing Joakim Noah and Luol Deng with Chris Bosh and Michael Beasley will do that.
3. New York is a surprise team in the East. CJ McCollum is looking pretty damn good.
4. Brooklyn struggling. Jimmer Fredette is not a starting caliber SG.
5. Defensive player of the sim has to be Ed Davis. Bargs is a C defender, Eric Gordon is C+, and Calderon is C-. Toronto sitting at third in the league because Ed Davis is a beast in the paint and has 3.5 bpg.
