            Can a moderator edit the title of this thread so I can avoid having an aneurysm.


            Other than that, thanks for posting this. I love these previews.

                I almost changed it to "Their Back" just to see the reaction.

                  Add "having to wait til the top half of the preview to hear about the raptors" as another perk during this offseason. Just for fun, I thought I would go back and look at last year's preview. A few great exchanges
                  Bill:"People in toronto don't care about the raptors. All they care about is the maple leafs....if this raptors team became decent, I don't know if it would really matter in toronto, would it?" Jalen: "it would Bill, they have fantastic fans in toronto." In another part jalen predicts a big year for demar "20 pts a game big?" Bill asks. "18pts" jalens replies.
                  Credit to them for being all over the Rudy Gay trade. The funny part is to see that they predict the trade would be to Milwaukee for some expiring contracts and that Greek kid they took with the 16th pick. Giannis is now their messiah and it's funny to look back and hear them say "learn to play and then we'll try learning your name 'Po" (something like that).

                    Bill was so wrong, Jalen was so right. I hope they acknowledge that this year.

                      Jalen can come off really silly sometimes but I'm always surprised by his reads, and offers genuine insight into players that most player-commentators lack. He's been pretty good at evaluating players, too.

                        Both of those don't seem too bad.

                        Yes they were both very wrong but look at team expectations.

                        Phoenix had multiple players have breakout/career years and going into the season everyone pitted them as pure tankers.

                        Milwaukee went the opposite way and signed a bunch of average players (Delfino, Butler, Mayo, Sessions, Neal, Zaza, Knight, etc) to the point that they were considered deep enough to be good.

                          Could almost guarantee Bill and Jalen put Wiz ahead of us.

                            Who cares where people rank us 3, 4 or whatever. Let's see how this season plays out and I believe a lot of people will be eating crow
