The Knicks will get through 20 games at, or near, .500 and we'll all be
We'll go on a three game win streak and we'll all be
We'll then drop ten straight and never recover.

Jabari Parker makes a substantial leap

Dion lives up to his potential in Miami and becomes a true no 1 option. Heat trade Dragic for Gay and Collison so Dion can run the show.
Whiteside / Dion tandem lead to 5th seed. Beat the fourth seed in 6 and get swept by the cavs in Rd 2.

Utah trades Favors for Love. Favors breaks out in Cleveland as a Draymond / Bosh type player. Lebron starts handing over the reigns over to Kyrie and Favors.
Love fits like a glove with the Jazz and they make the third seed in the west. Eliminated in the second round against the Spurs.

If Dwight misses 20+ games y'all don't get a top 4 seed

-Knicks will be a top 4 seed and make the ECF
The Knicks are so disgustingly underrated. Seriously, I look at their roster and outside of the Cavs I don't see any team thatms clear cut better than them, except for maybe the Pacers.
I have a feeling that Rose will have a bounce back year and be a top 10 PG again, playoff Melo is a scary sight, Porzingis will step his game up and exceed expectations again.
-Bulls will miss the playoffs and won't win 40 games
After that MCW trade I'm convinced that their front office is playing a sick joke on the fans. These guys literally have zero spacing.
Jesus Christ, that roster is a fukking joke man. 
Unless you have a transcendent talent, which the Bulls do not, there's no way in hell you're winning with a roster with such awful spacing. 
Wade is using these fools as a paycheck and I already have him missing 20 games due to "injury" and a duo of Rondo and Butler is a damn joke.
-Celtics will be out of the 1st round again
These guys are the biggest frauds in the league. I hear people calling them contenders.
They're the new Hawks. A 1st round fodder punching bag for the real contenders. 2 playoff wins in the last 2 years yet people are calling these guys the 2nd best team in the East? I see people bringing up their regular season record ignoring the fact that they played in arguably the worst division in the league. 
Off the top of my head Toronto, Indiana, Atlanta and New York will all be better. 
-Clippers will be better than the Spurs and Chris Paul will finally pop his Conference Finals cherry Clippers will miss out on the 2nd seed to the Spurs by a game or two but will meet them in the Semifinals where they'll battle them to a tough 7 game series.
After over a decade of misfortune and excuses Chris Paul will finally make the Conference Finals where he'll get smashed by the Warriors in 5 games. 
-Wolves will miss the playoffs
Saying the Wolves will miss the playoffs isn't really a bold prediction but I think KAT is overrated. Don't know why he gets so much love over Porzingis tbh. I see people calling him a top 10 player and that's a joke to me. Sorry, but if you can't at least have your team in the playof hunt then you're not a top 10 player. They won't even be in the playoff hunt this year. I think next year is when they start to make a playoff push.
-Damian Lillard will finish 3rd in MVP voting and Blazers will be a top 4 seed in the West
I think this kid Damian Lillard is next to blow, pause.
I love the kids game and his attitude and I think this is the year he separates himself from the rest and heads into the elite category with guys like LeBron, Durant, Curry and Westbrook.

Derrick Williams will start at PF for the Heat by the end of the season. (At least 30 games)
Millsap will finally decline a bit and have an injury riddled year, hawks barelly get 40 wins
Memphis doesn't make the playoffs
Rockets have a top 3 offensive points per possession
Lakers retain their pick yet again and draft Lonzo Ball
Embiid wins ROY
Jabari wins MIP (Oladipo, t. Harris are my other candidates)
Rudy Gobert is an all star

Looking at the predictions here, I guess this is also a controversial prediction compared to most of yours:
Knicks don't make the playoffs
Knicks don't make the playoffs
The Knicks will get through 20 games at, or near, .500 and we'll all be
We'll go on a three game win streak and we'll all be
We'll then drop ten straight and never recover.
