RE: The Official NBA Discussion Thread
I actually want to see Oden have a productive season while staying relatively healthy. He's gotten a lot of flack for being possibly the biggest bust in NBA history being virtually injured all the time, but at least he's worked hard to try to get himself conditioned and in playing shape to where he could endure an NBA season.

As much as I hate to say it, the Heat is actually a good place for Oden. It relieves a lot of stress to prevent injuries with their supporting cast, plus it allows the Heat to go big if they need to, something that the Heat really need to make it a 3peat. I personally don't like it because I'm the hugest Heat hater out there. >_<
Playing for the Mavs is a good bet for their organization, but the possibility of a lot of playing time will just lead to further injury.

At least Greg Oden is better than Chris Bosh lol.
It's not hard to beat 0 points in game 7 of NBA finals.

RE: The Official NBA Discussion Thread
My predictions are the same, although I have Pistons a seed higher. They will probably be a top five defensive team thanks to that stacked frontcourt, but I worry the lack of floor spacing and a good backcourt will greatly hurt the team.
It's sad that East is so bad after the first few seeds that Bobcats are a legit eighth seed. Well, that or the Wizards depending on how well Wall and Beal play next year. I would throw Hawks into the mix since they're still an okay team, but I think they will forever be bad until they get a center and move Horford to PF.
Worst record in league: 76ers. They land Wiggins and become a 5-6 seed playoff team within the next two or three years after rebuilding.

RE: The Official NBA Discussion Thread
I considered the Wizards and even Celtics for the eighth seed and found it difficult to leave the Hawks out of the playoffs. While Millsap will probably be a better fit for their system than J-Smoove ever was, they lost a bit of depth, particularly in their backcourt, and now have question marks at SG and SF.
Sixers will be horrible, but the writing was on the wall ever since Bynum began having trouble with his knees after signing with them.
