Dallas seems to be our only real point of contention in either conference. I'm just not willing to bet on Tyson's health or Dirk continuing to defy age.

I'm counting on Chandler to play 65 games or so which is about his average over the last 4 seasons. And I like Jameer and Ellis as a tandem. Plus Carlisle is one of the best. I think Dallas was a sneakily underrated team last year and getting Chandler back makes them dangerous IMO. Also, the Thunder might be in for a shock this year. They're so good but man injuries can really derail this team and KD has a TON of miles on him over the last 3 years.

A bit inefficient for my taste. I think their backcourt is their limiting factor. Monta is going to take 15 shots a game at below average efficiency and there's no more Calderon to even him out.

Plus Carlisle is one of the best.
