Seems to be a consensus around here that they will take a step back

It's not that i think they aren't good. They just had ridiculous great injury luck that is heard to repeat

Yeah injuries are basically the unpredictable factor that make all our predictions suspect. It could go any number of ways

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

Not sure Zion has an NBA body to stay healthy. Need to see it first. CJ also getting older.

Yep. I could realistically see the Lakers finishing anywhere from 1 or 2 to play in or out of the playoffs in the West depending on the health of Lebron and AD and players on a few other teams (KD on the Suns for example).

So you dont respect my predictions?

Yeah, that's the conundrum with him. He's a clear difference maker. He and Ingram both healthy make them a legit threat...but has Zion even been healthy enough to play 82 games in his career, let alone a season?

Never said that. At work now talk more later

Take it up with your wife

Actually it turns out I picked the Kings to go over in Thunder's thread lol

No problems on that front. Thanks for your concern.

I heard different but I may have said too much....

 

[rmilia1]

Kings are the 1 seed in the West

Clippers miss the playoffs

Celtics implode by Christmas and Brown gets traded
