Wurider05 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I mean we forget how awful the East is and just because Lebron isn't here that doesn't mean the East still doesn't suck. I look for Cleveland to still make the playoff possibly 4-5 seed. Don't be suprised if we sneak in. I am calling it now. We are not the garbage that the media makes us out to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, you're alive? @Spud2nique you win the bet. Seriously though, I'd be surprised if we make the playoffs but I wouldn't be surprised if we're a pseudo-competitive team by the end of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted September 21, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 We won't make the playoffs. I expect the plan to be to grow and try to be competitive...and if we have too many wins close to the end of the year here comes the DNPs to key players.

Admin capstone21 Posted September 21, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Its a rebuild year and that's fine as its the plan ... we will be battling for last spot this season ... there is almost no chance of this team making the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that would mean that Trae or possibly Collins is probably going to be a superstar, right? Either that, or we'd have a bunch of real good young players who aren't even in their prime yet, which means that they'd continue to improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hazer Posted September 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 We’re not going to be the worst team in the league, nor make the playoffs. And still get 3 lottery picks next year. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Trae will be a superstar and Collins will get a few all star nods before it’s all said and done. The guy I want most to make it is Prince ?. Love his whole story and his play out there. He doesn’t get cheated, plays all out and plays team ball..oh and defends well. ❤️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I don't know what to expect. If last year's Pacer team can win nearly 50 games anything is possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or we'd have a bunch of real good young players who aren't even in their prime yet, which means that they'd continue to improve. And that’s fine for our young players to keep improving and for Trae/Collins to become great players... as long as they don’t overachieve because Trae and Collins are not enough to be winning titles. We need at least one other youngin to develop with them. Members can say what they want about Sap and the 60-win Hawks, but the truth is that nobody actually believed in that team and that they could win a title. ECF was always the ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess that means that Prince would have to become Kawhi-lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is that those can all happen w/o us moving out of the lottery. If you're looking for upside, there is something to be said for playoff experience for the future.

Gray Mule Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Atlanta bench is considered "not bad" by me. Consider: PG - Trae - SG - Huerter - SF - Vince - PF - Omari - C - Alex Len When you think about making the playoffs, consider the competition in our division and in the east. The big guns moved west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
