A little over 2 and a half months until the NBA starts again, so might as well start a prediction thread already. Post and discuss NBA predictions on who will win an award, predict the NBA standings, predicting the top 5 players in each position or in the NBA next season, etc. any and all predictions on what will and might happen. Whatever you wanna predict just post em and discuss.
Here are my predictions:
West standings:
1. Lakers (LWO will be number 1 seed once D12 arrives
)
2. Thunder (they are young as hell and thrive and love to play like everyday)
3. Spurs (Will always be good in the regular-season, ONLY)
4. Mavericks (Dirk is motivated and the team is much better)
5. Grizzles (Same team, has one of the best frontcourts and will be better with Bayless and Arthur returning)
6. Clippers (They got a bit older and will face injury problems that will hurt them)
7. Jazz (They finally got shooters for there system and will be good at home)
8. Nuggets (Will always make the playoffs, but other teams made better transactions in the offseason and are practically the same team)
East standings:
1. Heat (Most talented team in the East, but might phone it in after all star break and fall to 2nd seed)
2. Celtics (Got younger, deeper, and better)
3. Pacers (Are one of the most balanced teams in the league)
4. Knicks (They should be no worse than a 4th seed with the roster and how weak the East is after the Heat and the Celtics)
5. Nets (The backcourt is gonna be great, and have other really good pieces)
6. Wizards (Wall will finally reach his full potential and Beal will beast and the environment is much better for the Wiz Kids)
7. Bulls (Thibs will not fukk with re-building and will get most out of his squad, plus the East is a bit weak still)
8. 76ers (They should tank to try to get a big like Zeller, but they really didn't make any big acquisitions)
Award predictions:
MVP: Kobe & Nash or Kobe & D12 will be named Co-MVP's
ROTY: Unibrow
DPOTY: ?
6th Man Of The Year: Marshon Brooks (nikka gonna be shooting as much times as he wants to on the bench)
Most Improved Player: Evan Turner (With starter minutes I'm sure he will get, he will improve dramatically in every area)
Coach Of The Year:
Honor predictions:
1st Team All NBA: Westbrook, Kobe, Durant, Lebron, D12
2nd Team All NBA: Nash, CP3, Melo, Love, Dirk
3rd Team All NBA: Rondo, D-Will, Wade, LMA, Bynum
All Rookie 1st team: Lillard (Blazers), Beal (Wizards), MKG (Bobcats), Zeller (Cav's) (Kyrie is gonna make him look like a beast and is really skilled too and even though I hope it doesn't happen, but I think T-Rob is looking like a bust
) Davis (Hornets)
