If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

Also predicted that Amir would miss only 3 games due to a presumed sprained ankle.
Further more, and I'm not one to defend ESPN, but I can't imagine their predictions are based solely off of just last year. I'm sure they look at the players general career curve.

He was basing his positional prediction off of the ESPN predicted stats; which DO account for Injuries.
And of which, he is probably right. If we get DD, Rudy and Lowry playing like last year, but add in 30-20 from our starting 4/5 and you've probably got about 10 more wins on the year, which puts us at 44 wins and the 6th seed. So, once again, using the article as his basis, I see no fault with what Xixak said.
If he were just saying, "The Raps will get the 6th" with no real context, then sure, I'd take issue with it.

ESPN is being really generous to the young bigs it looks like. They have Val putting up 16-9, Favors putting up 16-11 for Utah, Kanter putting up 14-9, etc.
For some reason they only have 14-9 for Anthony Davis though -___-
