A lot of people are high on The Nuggets - I just don't get it. They play zero defense - Isiah Thomas isn't going to make them any better. I thought they were lucky to win 46 games last year.

T-Wolves at 9 is under the assumption that they are going to implode or Butler is going to pull Kawhi if he doesn't get his way. If they somehow right the ship you bump them up a notch or two.

Blazers lost depth - I also think they over-performed a bit last year.

SAS at 8 is purely based on the belief that Pop will find a way.

Kool-Aid Prediction - Jazz win 55 games and battle Houston for the #2 slot down to the wire. Lose to GSW in the WCF in 6 games.

2019-20 - Durant leaves GSW, goes East. Jazz pick up Tobias Harris - play Boston in the NBA Finals

Does Block totals win games? Neh, buckets do.

@silesian - I assume you must put these in some sort of spreadsheet. When you've got that done, if you can send me a copy I'll see about writing some analysis code. I don't think it should be too hard (famous last words), and like I said, it might be interesting. I'd generate a similarity score for each pair of people and then report those in a table or something.
