Why so high on New Orleans?

 

[HurricaneDij39]

1) Bucks regular season performance will take a hit, but they will win the title.
2) Both the Hawks and Jazz improve on their win totals as a result of the John Collins trade.
3) Mark Williams will be seen as on Rudy Gobert’s level by season’s end (w/ the exception of his bank account, of course)…

 

[fightinfunbags]

1) I will get duped into believing the Sixers will be different
2) The Sixers will lose in round 2 of the playoffs.
3) I will be miserable again

Why so high on New Orleans?

They were the top seed last year prior to zion/ingram being injured

 

[bksballer89]

Another prediction

Sengun will make the as team

 

[logic]

They were the top seed last year prior to zion/ingram being injured

So, you're saying that they should win the mid-season tournament hands down?!?
I think the Pacers have some of those midseason best record banners as well.

 

[logic]

1) I will get duped into believing the Sixers will be different
2) The Sixers will lose in round 2 of the playoffs.
3) I will be miserable again

These are locks, not predictions.

Thanks for making this thread @bksballer89

1. Both Denver and Phoenix will disappoint, given their expectations. Neither make the NBA Finals
2. This will be Pops final season. He will announce this before the end of the regular season
3. AD wins DPOY
4. Lakers win the season series against the Clippers for the first time since 1882
5. Mavs don't make the playoffs again

I know that's five, not three. Thought i'd throw in a couple more

What I take from this so far is that most don’t have the balls (to be wrong) in order to make predictions…

Yeah they are all cowards.....or maybe this thread was created on a Sunday night and they are busy?

Dude, the thread is less than 15 hours old. Give it a minute.

3) I will be miserable again

These are not bold at all. That's like taking candy from a baby

4) Cleveland
5) Philly
6) New York

10) Orlando

1) Phoenix
2) Warriors
3) Denver
4) Clippers
5) Pelicans
6) Lakers
7) Grizzlies
8) OKC
9) Twolves
10) Mavericks

 

[Shanemansj13]

Mavs miss the playoffs
Milwaukee won't make it to the Finals
Chet ROY (this is yours @bksballer89 but I believe it)
Tyrese Maxey will be an All-Star

I might add more before the season

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I honestly don't know about the top 10 in each conference. So many moving pieces this off season at the top. Plus Ja will be out for a while with Memphis.

Phoenix will most likely have a little adjustment period before hitting their stride and those losses could mean a lot for the final standings.

We'll see. I'll cheat a little and come back mid November.
