I absolutely love the presumptive 4th pick for them too. Caleb Wilson is an athletic freak. He could pick up some skills & tricks from Siakam and be a multi-time all-star for them, especially playing with a table-setter like Hali.

If you got both Michigan guys (I would sub in Aday Mara over Morez but that’s just my opinion) and got rid of the Michigan State guy, I would be very excited for your team

I don’t trust aday to stay healthy in the NBA, Edey missed barely any games in College and now he’s injury riddle already, Im going with Morez because of his Motor and he offers more perimeter defense for us

Alternatively, its just Zu replacing Myles Turner who was arguably a better fit and the pick 5 goes to the Clippers to make them a tough team, yet another tough West team.

I mean they have lost three of their last eight, which is pretty good but considering they lost only three out of sixteen before that he isn’t wrong.

But people on Reddit do just kinda like busting each other’s chops (being snarky) although sometimes it doesn’t need to be as rude as it is.

Like I get it we all hate the Thunder lol but in this case his comment was actually accurate so maybe we don’t need to shit on him just bc fk the Thunder?? Idk. Although maybe Thunder fans also need to learn they shouldn’t be the ones saying stuff like that? 🤷‍♂️

CharacterFresh852 | Hornets

11 | 12 hours ago

Kinda but I’d say most people are just kind of used to us being good now.

We had the same last ten record as the “hot” Miami heat before our current win streak and the loses we did have were against the heat fully healthy, the spurs, and a hot suns team.

I’d say if we were healthy at the start of the season we’d probably be the 5th seed rn since the raptors are only 4 games ahead of us.

After our light schedule, Hawks now have the 7th hardest remaining schedule. None of those teams are higher. So I imagine Atlanta will be in the Play-In. Again lol.

SOS at this stage can be deceiving, three the last four games are against good teams who might already have their seeding and throw the games. Would be amazing if the last game of the season vs Miami was for the 6 seed.

Yep especially exciting when they are playing against the 3-6 from the west. Though Lakers are starting to get some separation, their tough sched is starting to look easy now

Lakers have 21st sos left Rockets have 23rd sos Nuggets are 14th Minny is 8th

Minny is not guaranteed to be 6th but they’re pretty much a shoe in to be 6th but if rockets continue to be mid than they likely just swap with Denver.

Lakers facing pistons without cade too so that’s a little bit easier. Very nice path to potentially 55 wins

No longer true after Hawks and Sixers pulled through tonight.

Seeding now:
Raptors - 1 win ahead of:
Hawks and Sixers - 1 win ahead of:
Magic - 1 win ahead of: Heat - 2 wins ahead of Hornet

Teams ordered by easiest to hardest schedule:
Raptors > Magic > Sixers > Hornet ~ Heat > Hawks

With current seeding and remaining schedule, I’m going with:
5 Raptors
6 Sixers - due to easier schedule, but only if PG being back won’t be a hinderance to their current chemistry and streak
7 Hawks / Magic - a tossup as hotter Hawks have a much harder remaining schedule vs. Magic. But due to Hawks having the tie breaker over Magic, I’m going with Hawks.
9 Hornets / Heat - a true tossup as hotter Hornets have similar remaining schedule as heat but with 2 wins back, I can see them getting 2+ wins more than Heat, but they need 3 as Heat has the tie break. A true coin flip here.

While I have abandoned any sliver of hope for this season, it looks like Embiid will be returning soon, in addition to Paul George’s return from suspension so that should make it at least a little entertaining.

Top of the West is definitely better than the top of the East, but the play-in teams in the East are a lot better than the play-in teams in the West.

Next year the East could actually surpass the West for the first time in 25 years with Haliburton and Tatum returning, Detroit continuing to improve, and one or more of these teams taking a leap.
