Look, the Raptors and Nets will be good, but will finish (as the teams are set at now) as the 4th and 5th place teams in the East.
Here are my predictions.
1. Heat
2. Wizards
3. Pacers
4. Raptors
5. Nets
6. Cavaliers
7. Pistons
8. Hornets
9. Bulls (just out of the playoffs)
That would match you two talkers in the first round of the playoffs. Then you two can jab all you want at each other!

Raptors, you're missing the point.
you don't need 5 guys who are great scorers. You DO need 5 guys who can play good defense.
5 guys aren't going to score 20 ppg. You can have your +11 offense, IMO my +4 defense is just as significant.
And yes, I think I have more room for improvement this tc than you.

I agree with the heat. I don't agree with the wizards or pacers being better than us. 1) Heat 2) Raptors 3) Nets 4) Wizards 5) Hornets 6) Pacers 7) Pistons  Bulls 9) Cavs (just have a couple of holes to fill and they can jump all the way up to 4) |

Wiz...Amare, Sheed and Arenas push them to the top...that's three All-Star quality players and a bunch of good role players (Etan Thomas, Fortson, Szerbiak)
Pacers....JOneal, Artest, Tinsley and Mutombo make four very very good starters. Good defensive club.
Nets need depth, and will struggle a little if anybody gets into foul trouble.
Raps need defense and depth at the SG and SF positions.

I'm going to have a tight rotation, theres not going to be much drop off from my starters to my bench players. |

The heat are the only team that stand a chance to top myself and the Nets. The ONLY chance. And once I get my signing of MLE tonight, I'll have depth and defense at the 2/3.
I'm going to score a ton of points, and play solid D too. Last year I had about the same team defence wise, and was in the upper half in defense.
The Wiz have Sheed and Amare, but calling Arenas an asset is a strech.
Bottom line- I have 3 all-stars on my team.
Last year I was 3rd in the East. There is no chance I don't improve on that.

i think his (arenas) turnovers are way too high to be called an allstar

God I wish I could just do the first sim tonight....haha.
I'm sick of the offseason. And I changed 4 of 5 starters!
Can't imagine how boring next year will be when I'm only look to add depth (with maybe changing 1 starter)

What you do is pure trash talking. That's all we're asking you to do. Actually talk about SSBA, not make one liners. |

Can't imagine how boring next year will be when I'm only look to add depth (with maybe changing 1 starter) I know how you feel. I made my trades for Boozer and Cassell before the draft. Since then, I've only waited to add 2-3 role players. And even they won't sign with me. It's the worst part of FBB, which is a great program. But the offseason takes longer than the damn season itself. |
