    I think these are really well done. These are Grantland video analyses of all 30 teams of the upcoming season. I thought it would be cool to make a thread and update it with videos as they're coming out.

    Feel free to update!

    Bill Simmons is great. Love all the stuff he puts out. These seem pretty fun leading up to the season.

    Ha. A friend of mine edits these. I was having to explain to him who half the people on the Suns were.

    I predict Simmons will comply with the Morey Rank and put us 5th, just behind Indiana.

    LOL @ Royce White's twitter feed being one of Philly's acquisitions.

    You are referring to the fact that he is from Boston. It annoys everyone.

    These are funny AND good!!!

    I laughed the hardest with the PHX Suns' Rich man's/Poor man's Morris twins.

    Can't wait for the one on the Rockets.

    Hmm I like the vids over all but I personally disagree with their assessment about Philly fans. The draft is loaded, Philly's gonna have at worst the 4rth pick+1 more pick from NO....along with this year's real consensus number 1 pick Noel (if he weren't injured) and MCW.

    Hinkie basically got them 4 years worth of tanking in just 1 season, and not only that they actually have enough capspace to rebuild into a contender after they finish tanking. Yeah, I'm sorry but the only philly fans who who think that team sucks are stupid ass morons like the beat writer who made fun of analytics.

    In comparison, Sacramento's been tanking for almost a decade now but Philly will actually end up with more fresh new talent them by next year. Hell you could argue they have it now, MCW+Noel seems better to me than Cousins ona max or near max deal.

    Not always spot on analysis, but entertaining.

    Jalen: "Where are the Boston Celtics when you need them!?"

    Simmons: "Settle down, Jalen!"

    LMAO!
