Looks pretty good to me. Y'all have to understand that these forecasting models all assume a strong regression to the mean. This means that models simulate the best teams and the worst teams to not be as good/bad as the general public believe. And most of the time, the models are correct.

If the 76ers could muster almost 30 wins with a 1st year, minutes restricted Embiid, and no Simmons, while having one of the top picks in the draft, things would looking good for their franchise. I just hope they get a good trade for Okafor/Noel.

Looks pretty good mostly.
I dont see the Hawks regressing to 38 wins.
Thunder likely wont get 50 wins.
Pacers are the hardest team to predict. Id say about 41-41 though.
And the Spurs will win 58-61 and Kawhi will improve enough to be MVP. Book it.
