    I think Chicago should definitely be at least #2 and likely #1 (if Rose is healthy).

    Cleveland team is better than the Cleveland team Lebron took to the finals, WAY BETTER, I'd argue because of that put them higher, but having to beat that Chicago and Washington team seems pretty daunting.

    I also find it interesting how the Eastern Conference is MUCH better than the West in this, exactly the opposite of real life teams.

    How do they distinguish the home towns "Clippers" and "Lakers"?

    Why do Westbrook, Harden and Paul George play for the Clippers and not the Lakers? I think I understand Kahwi Leonard because isn't he from San Diego? So maybe he supports the San Diego Clippers?

    The Rockets were in San Diego first. So Leonard should play for us. And those from Minneapolis should play for the Lakers.

    I thought Perkins was from Beaumont. Is that close enough to Houston?

    Beaumont gets Houston TV channels..barely. He went to Ozen High school & they called him "Baby Shaq". He was pretty cool to watch when he played in High School.

    If tyson was on the clippers, they would be number one. Also, how did they decide who's on the lakers and who's on the clippers?

    Clippers are the best. They may not have a big but have 3 top 10 NBA players along with reigning finals MVP.

    LOL at San Antonio and Utah.

    They need to develop their own homegrown players/local talent more often.
