Superstar
- Paul George will be league MVP. He already came out and said he's gunning for it this year and I think he'll have enough wins to make it happen.
- Westbrook will be the real MVP. He's showing off that post game in the preseason and he's going to be a damn matchup nightmare.
- One of the Golden State's big 4 will get injured and it will throw a monkey wrench into their grand plans. I still have them winning it all.
- LeBron will take a back seat to Kyrie this year.
- Spurs will be the #1 seed and they're going to need it. If LMA gets hurt they will be fukked in the playoffs.
- D'angelo Russell will be the MIP, and he's going to have some amazing nights.
- Knicks are making the playoffs. So are the Bulls but us Bulls fans already know that.
- Dwight Howard becomes a top center again for the Hawks.
- Celtics fall off a bit in seeding.
- Raptors are going to struggle to make the playoffs.
- Minnesota while Wiggins, LaVine and KAT improve greatly, still don't win a lot of games. Rubio will be traded before the deadline if he has any trade value whatsoever.
- Rockets are still going to struggle.

I thought LeBron would take a backseat on offense last year.
It's not going to happen. He wants to keep that 25 PPG streak going until he can't do it efficiently.

Nah.
Celtics win the finals in 7 games
Last year he had to do more until Kyrie got back on the floor and then in shape...now with Kyrie back 100% he can fall back....crazy part is he can still avg. 25ppg while taking a backseat...all dude really needs to do is get his FT % up to the low 80s...
Yeah I really would want him to gear it down for the long run but he knows that MVP is his for the taking this season.
He's crazy like that and he's still chasing Jordan in his mind.
In my ideal world, Irving and Love would be 1a/1b options with LeBron facilitating. I don't think we'll see that until his mid 30s.
Reggie had something with his knee. shyt just came out of the blue last week.
As far as West seeding the only teams that you can say are for sure better than OKC are GSW, LAC, and SA. Utah, POR, MEM, and HOU are all wildcards IMO. I think OKC is in the mix too. I just think Russ is gonna be on a mission this year.
The more I think about it I think Memphis locks that 4th spot barring injury but not by much. Portland is more likely to disappoint than Utah to me cause they didn't make any personnel moves that moved the needle as far as I know. I got Russ going Super Saiyan too but I think KD's absence will be too much to cover to leap frog the Jazz and possibly Griz.
The West goes back to bloodbath status this year.
I think he can do a combo of gearing it down and facilitating while still scoring at a good clip if he gets the jumper together and gets in the post. I originally thought Kyrie would be an MVP candidate but I do think the fact that Bron's the preseason MVP favorite is gonna make him go for it this year.
Now just imagine how insane it is for a Cleveland fan to say it.Can I just tell you as a long time GSW fan how absolutely ludicrous it sounds to hear the Warriors are looking toward their 3rd finals appearance (and have won 1 title)???
And then think if you told any general NBA fan ten years ago, twenty years ago, hell, THREE YEARS AGO, that these two teams would face each other in three straight Finals, or that either would even win one, or even be in one, they'd have you drug tested.
