 6. Milwaukee Bucks

Christina: Is it time to really “Fear the Deer?” As we saw during the playoffs last season, Jason Kidd definitely has this team going in the right direction. In his rookie season of coaching the Bucks, he turned this young team into a 41 win playoff squad without Jabari Parker. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and John Henson played well for the Bucks last season, and with the addition of Greg Monroe, and the return of Jabari Parker, look out for this young team.

Michael: (Toronto Raptors) I don’t know exactly what the Toronto Raptors are going to be this season. I contemplated picking the Knicks to win the Atlantic Division just to be different. In the end though, the Raptors will probably win in by default. In one scenario, I have the Raptors being a top-four team in the East. In an entirely different scenario, I could see the bottom falling off this team and them ultimately trading DeMar DeRozan at the trade deadline. Yup. I wouldn’t be surprised either way.

I’ll stick in the middle.
