Whether a team is under or over performing, who’s gonna be a complete opposite by the end of the season compared to now?

The obvious answers are the Wolves and Magic.
And it’s even crazier - to me - that people don’t grasp this:
IT’S STILL FUCKING NOVEMBER.
There’s still three more nights (tonight included) on the schedule before it’s even fucking December!!!
Both teams may end up in the Finals. I’ll shit in my hand and eat it if that’s the Finals matchup, but we’ll see what happens.
I’d be shocked if either team wins a first-round playoff series than anything.
And that’s fine. MIN has a legit franchise player in ANT. ORL has a lot of fantastic young talent. Building blocks.
I just think it’s a tad premature to compare either team to the 96 Bulls or 15 Warriors.
No one is comparing Minnesota or Orlando to those historical teams, you are literally the one who brought them up.
Warriors - Wiggins hits a go-ahead shot against Thunder, only to go into OT off a turn-around fall-away 3 from a 7 footer.
nearly beat healthy TWolves with 2 starters ejected and Steph was hurt, lost by one possession in a game where Cory Joseph played 4th quarter minutes and stepped out of bounds twice.
both Suns losses were weird (nobody could hit a wide-open jumper in first game and there were still chances to win, second game was Scott Foster masterpiece and then Kerr didn’t bring in starters for free throw shooting after rooks cut it to 6.)
still gelling on offense and defensive communication has been a problem, but we’re capable of a lot better.
Warriors will finish below 500
I’m not saying inaccurate but if the spurs can figure something out I think we’re +500
The pels being a .500 basketball team really surprises me
We are the streakiest team in the league. Great run of 5 games then leading into a piss poor run of 5 games, the injuries certainly don’t help us in building some consistency.
If Zion is healthy and CJ back that team makes a deep run imo.
CJ McCollum is severely missed. My guy was balling before his lung collapsed (what a crazy sentence). We should see him in the lineup this week though.
ripcityyyyy
Believe it or not, I think the Pistons will turn it around soon. I think they got a lot of talent and they just need to figure it out.
You are what your record says you are not what people THOUGHT your record was SUPPOSED to be.
We’re almost 20 games in now. It’s time to believe in (the) Magic and the T-Pups. The Thunder and the Pacers too.
The Orlando Magic will not keep this up!
Flair up
The Pistons are definitely worse than 2-15
Charlotte pre lamelo injury has so many talented pieces man, they gotta be able to figure something out over there. 2nd overall draft pick added to a roster with Lamelo, Miles Bridges back, Terry, Hayward, PJ (who’s become a much better scorer/defender), & a decent few other role players. They should be able to make the playoffs in the east with the talent they have
Pistons.
We don’t deserve 2.
Lakers. I don’t think they are a good basketball team. There is a massive gap after AD and Lebron when it comes to quality. They need some serious help if they want to think about contending for a title.
Wizards (3-14). They have 3 too many wins. As bad as Poole is at winning, he’s even worse for their culture. We even suck at tanking.
Seriously, it’s the Magic. They’re a .500 team at best. Just shows what a team that moves the ball and plays the right way can do (hard, unselfish), regardless of talent/experience.
Magic are overperforming. Each year they’re getting better but they’re not quite as good as their record suggests.
I think Banchero did a lot more for that team than is maybe advertised, cause its the Magic, but they are definitely not a top 3 seed. I’d love to see them prove me wrong but I just can’t see it happening.
