Jalen Rose - "The Orlando Magic Will Make The Playoffs"...

[Take Your Lumps]

Not sure but it wouldn't shock me.

Scary thing about Orlando is that their BEST CASE scenario would be Mario and/or Gordon blossoming into stars and Oladipo/Harris taking on supporting roles (one of which would probably have to be 6th man). If Mario or Gordon becomes that team's best or 2nd best player, that team should go places. Those two guys are only 20 years old.

[Human Error]

I was a bit shocked when he said that. Agree or disagree?

I agree. They have one of the best young cores in the league in Aaron Gordon, Mario Hezonja, Elfrid Payton and Nikola Vucevic. Oladipo does not fit the team and should not be a part of the future though, if they could get a shot blocker for him they will be huge.

Rose has lost his ****ing mind.

I thought he was their best player. Is he really talented and just a poor fit?

[Goro]

Disagree. Their core is too young and inexperienced with no vet leadership. If they make it, it will simply be by default because of how bad the East is.

[Fallen Angel]

Who? Ja-len wasn't much of a player who had a small golden peak that raised his already absurd ego higher...and now he thinks he can run his mouth and think people care.. No Jalen, No.

Are you retarded or something? Seriously.

Jalen Rose's job is being a NBA/College Basketball Analyst.

You can't be this level headed.

Lot of talent on that squad.

Nik Vucevic
Victor Oladipo
Mario Hezonja
Tobias Harris
Elfrid Payton
Aaron Gordon
Evan Fournier
Shabazz Napier

I know the last two are longshots, but everyone I listed there has the realistic potential to be an all star player in their career. The first 3 especially

[aj1987]

We really haven't seen anything from Mario because his Euro team never played him but he's been really impressive

1. Raptors
2. Hawks
3. Cavs
4. Bulls
5. Pacers (Not yet sold on their big man rotation. PG still has the best leadership in the game.)
6. Wizards (Could easily be #1 but always seem to fall off toward the end of the season)
7. Magic
8. Bucks (Greg Monroe will ruin this team)

You think the Pacers will make the PO's over the Heat? Do they even have a C, PF, and a bench?

Heat should fair better than the Pacers, but I do have strong doubts about the cohesiveness of that team and how they come together.


A lot of talent, but will it fit is the question.

Literally the most shit poster on this board. I cringe at your opinions

Health and consistency are the most important factors. If Wade can stay healthy and play 65+ games in the RS, they'll definitely end up as the #4 seed or better. It'll be fun to watch Wade play with a legit PG for the first time (a whole season) in his career as well. The team is actually pretty deep and we need Rio, Green, Deng, and Johnson to be consistent.

Whiteside/Birdman
Bosh/McBob/Haslem
Deng/Justise
Wade/Green/Tyler
Dragic/Rio

That's a damn good team on paper. As I said, health and consistency.

Just give me healthy Heat vs Cavs playoffs.


That shit would be entertaining AF and even moreso if Wade re arranges Lebron's rectum.

[Fallen Angel]

How are the Heat even gonna play offense? This roster would be so much suited with a coach that preached floor spacing and ball movement. Chris Bosh and Hassan Whiteside should have that pick and lob connection that Josh Smith and Dwight Howard had last year and how Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan has always had.
