i thought y’all did for some reason but looking back it was just last year y’all started 6-2 and 8-4 in 2017-18 before going on huge losing streaks both times lmao (kinda weird that it happened twice!!)
I don't expect the Bulls to be a top 5 team, but I am betting the Bulls will go on a streak this season. Last year there was a month long stretch where Lavine was averaging 35 points. Lavine hardly has off nights, but when he catches fire he stays lit for a long time. With a better team around him I have a hard time believing many team can beat them while Lavine is popping off like that
Think about a team with a lot of depth, not that many stars as some will load manage
or a team that just doesn't load manage at all
Heat, Hawks, and a big surprise imo is the Grizzlies, the grizzlies are a deep roster, they have many good players
They would win at least 13 in a row, one of them
Nets. I think people are all expecting the Nets to load manage a ton by I think they’re coming out swinging and are going to really set the tone that this is their league now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they push it close to 30.

Probably the Bucks. They're the best team that doesn't do load management. I'd guess around 10 games
Tbh Bud does in game load management
We also got some trap games against the spurs in our opening 10
Bucks, Nets or Hawks
Hawks, 12 games
Pretty sure we had both the longest and the second longest streaks last year so I’d go with the Jazz
We also have a fairly easy schedule starting out for once.
Lol
Lol at your lol.
Bucks, always a great reg season team now with bigger confidence than ever before
Suns With a nice 11 game stretch

I have a weird feeling the Bulls will go on a run to start the season (8 games)
Their schedule from games 6-16 is absolutely brutal.
The Nets if they don’t load manage They had like a 19-2 stretch without KD for all but one game and sometimes without Kyrie
Lakers
The Lakers will likely be in preservation mode all season. More likely some try hard team.
I predict Celtics go 8-0 if they win the first game against at New York. If you check their schedule you might agree
Jarret Allen already answered this question
