can't open the link on my phone - can you tell me who they have with the 2nd best shot at winning the title?

rockets i think should be the right answer. this is where i think their prediction model fails because they actually have raptors in there, which we all know is impossible.

Odds. Chance of winning. You can't win if you don't GET to the finals. Toronto has better odds cause at least they have a shot by being IN the finals.

and in my opinion, the rockets have a better chance of coming out of the west than the raptors do to come out of the east. not sure if this factors stuff like that in.

pretty sure they didn't factor in your opinion lol

To think they could finish the season as champions yet still get the top pick... those are well managed, there's hardly a decade without them winning a chip.

as of today, i rank the celtics slightly higher than toronto. but it's a long season and a lot of questions need to be answered. mainly, how will kawhi + nurse perform and can irving + hayward stay healthy.

i'm picking toronto and boston to be 1 & 2 in terms of drtg this season.

i think they are also using offense as a factor - toronto should be top 3 in ortg while boston will be further down.

They have the nets winning 13 more games then the Knicks.

For those too lazy to google:

The new system will level the odds at the top of the NBA Draft Lottery so that the teams with the three worst regular-season records will each have a 14 percent chance of winning the lottery. In the current structure, the top seed has 25 percent of the lottery odds, the second seed has 19.9 percent and the third seed has 15.6 percent.

I agree - it will be worth it to land a top 3/4 talent again - we just are so depleted from the last decade of mismanagement.

Also, the top 4 picks are decided by the lottery. Previously, it was only the top 3.

lol i guess i am saying realistically a lot of NBA pundits and fans would agree so the 538 site predictions are nowhere a realistic model

Having a better record than the Lnicks is their only goal so I could see them doing it

No, they didn't. They gave the Orange Mussolini a 33% chance of winning.

If by winning you mean losing, or if you think this year is 2023. If not then yes your the only one
