Just a few predictions without going into too much detail as its still very early.

Teams to watch this season: OKC, Bulls and Heat.

I don't think the East will be as much of a cakewalk for Cleveland as a lot of people are saying. Backing them to make the finals if they remain healthy but I can see the Bulls and Heat improving a lot this season and giving them a run. Pacers will also be very good and challenging at the top. I'm tipping Atlanta will slide and last season will prove to be an aberration for them. Cavs vs either one of Chicago or Miami in the conference final.

In the West I think OKC will click and be a force to be reckoned with this season. If W'brook and KD can finally reach a happy medium with eachother then watch out. I like what they've done with their roster and they will be big. I don't think Warriors will win as many games as last season but will still make the conference final. Houston and Clips will be very good again but even at full health there's still a few question marks for both. Spurs are a team I'm uncertain on right now - they could go either way. They will own a lot of teams in the regular season but I wouldn't be surprised to see any of the teams mentioned above smack them in the post season. Tipping the Grizz to slide and be the Atlanta of the west. Dubs v OKC conference final.

Warriors v Cavs final again is a big possibility. If it comes down to it I hope Cavs are 100% healthy this time so there will be no excuses.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I think this will be the year OKC win the ring.

[stewie griffen]

Charles Barkley has the Hawks not winning 50 games

Ugh

He has the Knicks making the playoffs, even better

 

[EddieWalker]

I know last season will be tough for him to repeat, but I can't believe no one has picked Steph for MVP yet! I honestly believe he will be even better again this year.

#StephGonnaSteph

Nah he didn't deserve the MVP.....

Chuck's still living in 1984 - bit rich mind when the Suns used to run and gun with the best of them.

It's a bit like how Bill Walton used to get on Chris Webber's case for not posting up on the block. Eventually Snapper Jones would say to him "look Bill, I don't think he's going to start now..."

How did that end l2m4g? :-D

How did that end l2m4g? :-D

It ended with a Mario Elie jump shot strangely enough




Rudy T. was a man before his time - basically invented the stretch four during that playoff run.

About as well as your bet on Lankan Rupee you campaigner

 

[djrossie16]

No of wins for the Knicks - 56

 

[fidstar]

I'd like to publicly apologize to Steph for not picking him for MVP. There's a long way to go obviously, but in hindsight, not picking him was silly. Dude is on the best team in basketball, at an age when he is still improving, was likely to play more minutes this year and now has the confidence of being a champion.

I sent this to Hans at the time, but I'll post it here.

[Angus Young]

Cavs East

Warriors to beat Spurs in WCF

Champions... probably Warriors

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Only November but it's hard to go past the Warriors. 15-0 and cruising, they'll have to keep it up but they've already got a championship so they know what to do. Would please me very much to see LeBron lose another NBA finals series.

Still, backing the Spurs to win it.
