Sleep on OKC, that's fine.

Hope to see the Pistons do well, at least playoffs my God. (Jennings fan)

Think they improved since last year? (Thunder)

Predictions are fun, but I learned my lesson last year. My shocking predictions were that the Knicks would be the #1 seed and the Nuggets would be the #2 seed and certain posters here would not give me any credit whatsoever when they finished #2 and #3, LOL.

 

[n_huffhines]

I think Houston is going to be a top 2 seed, and they even have the potential to be an all-time dominant defensive team. I'm excited to see how things turn out.

Was that a shocking prediction? If you predicted that this year it would be closer to shocking.

 

[VolsByNature]

Improved? Not much but yeah. Could have damage and probably would have beaten SA if Westbrook stayed healthy.

The bench seems to be more experienced, excited to see what I've been hearing about Lamb

 

[VolsByNature]

Heat will not Three-peat.

I don't think so either. I think it'll go back to the west. East is pretty deep this year

Not really.

Heat, Bulls and Pacers, then a bunch of average teams.

[stephenk24]

I'm taking Golden State over Chicago in the finals. I reckon my Heat will barely scrape the Conference finals...

 

[TBrown]

Bulls win the east regular season.

San Antonio will not make it out of the west

 

[n_huffhines]

Nobody was picking either team to finish better than 5 last year.

 

[BadJerry20]

A team that has taken a step back, will be without their catalyst 4-6 weeks, are predicted by many to finish behind Clips, Rockets, Grizz, Spurs, and GS are going to be the biggest disappointment for finishing 6th? Makes sense. Lol

Put yours up and I'll pat you on the bottom if you do well this year. Lol

Just looking for a reason huh?

 

[BadJerry20]

Just looking for a reason huh?

Always.

 

[GahLee]

I have a hard time ruling out Brooklyn and New York

I actually forgot about the Nets. I'm not sure they can be cohesive before their window closes. KG and Pierce are up there.

I don't see the Knicks being anything more than a more entertaining version of the Atlanta Hawks.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Grizz win it all. Claim seeds 1-8 in both east and west. Get crowned as the unanimous national champion.

Does Bryant Reeves win the MVP?
