Kawhi is already much better than Manu but Duncan is still the backbone of that team. His versatility as a skilled PF/C is what allows everyone else to be successful. If he's healthy, they'll be good.

Cavs have a couple of young and players on the bench and as starters, something the Heat did not have in terms of age
Might not be the place to ask,but whatever. If the Cavs don't make the Finals and Rose gets hurt and don't make the finals, who you guys got coming out of the East and how would they do against the West Champion?
Raptors? Wizards? Heat? Not sure it would matter as they'd get "killed" by the West. (Perhaps killed is wrong but I wouldn't be picking any East teams.)
Knicks? ;-) Maybe Valanciunas makes the leap this year and makes the Raptors truly formidable? Probably not, though. Cavs and Bulls are the easy favorites as we all know unless things just go terribly wrong.

dang, chandler parsons looked like he put some time in the weight room. he is going to be great this year.
I think he needed to work on quickness and explosiveness when jumping to take advantage of his height and length on D. He ranked 12th on the Rockets last season on blks per 36 behind guys like Beverley/Lin and 5th in blks per game behind Garcia/Harden.
Greg, Charlie, and Raymond look bummed out. I am sure Greg is missing Houston, Charlie wishes Houston would have signed him, and Raymond is sad that there aren't as many great food options in Dallas as there are in NY.
