way-too-early playoff predictions based on my seeding

warriors > thunder
spurs > grizzlies
clippers > rockets
jazz > blazers

warriors > jazz
clippers > spurs (I think that if they stay healthy, the clippers could be a better PLAYOFF team than the spurs this year)

warriors > clippers

cavs > pacers
celtics > hawks
raptors > wizards (although I wouldn't be at all surprised if the raptors lost here)
pistons > hornets (I predicted the pistons for lower wins cuz reggie jackson is out to start the season, but I think they're the 4th best team in actuality)

cavs > pistons
celtics > raptors

cavs > celtics

finals: warriors > cavs

in tier form:

west:

tier 1: warriors
tier 2: spurs, clippers
tier 3: jazz
tier 4: blazers, rockets, grizzlies
tier 5: thunder, timberwolves
tier 6: nuggets, mavericks, pelicans, kings
tier 7: suns, lakers

east:

tier 1: cavs
tier 2: celtics, raptors
tier 3: hornets, pistons, wizards, hawks, pacers (MAYBE the hornets and pistons good enough for their own tier, not sure)
tier 4: knicks, magic, bulls
tier 5: heat, bucks
tier 6: 76ers, nets

I did not add this shit up to make it work mathematically, I did these on the fly

a TON of teams will be ~35-45 wins this season imo

havent raptors fans been hoping jv blows up for like 50 seasons in a row

tfw im not a top 9 IM demo 8'^{[~

all medics suck so its ok

maybe if ex applies himself again he'll be a bigger beast by playoffs

but I do not subscribe to the theory that better team = all 6 players better than everyone else

any1 else wanna give it a stab

or are yall afraid to put ur REAL thoughts out there??

not super happy with the scout list, after like 4th or 5th place it gets super close

the rest are easy tho

class by class breakdown anyone? :D

category 5 - marmaloo
clown fiesta - mae
dunheon - megaboy
waddle - phlps
running from mustard - mufffinz
baddies - jaaay
sparkle - spamfest
evil - asianriceguy
el farmo - dflame

now that roster have stabilized a bit after the IM Shuffle (other than the whole Muffinz thing) some1 should make some player ranking for the juice

I do it erry season so I might again but someone else should consider doing so as well
