Predict the playoffs teams for the 2019-2020 season

[bksballer89]

Now with Russ being traded, I don't think there will be any other major player movement before the season starts. A few minor signings but that's all.

Predict the teams 1-8 in each conference

For me it looks like this IMO.

East

1) Milwaukee
2) Philly
3) Boston
4) Brooklyn
5) Miami
6) Toronto
7) Indiana
8) Atlanta

West
1) Denver
2) Houston
3) Lakers
4) Clippers
5) Jazz
6) Blazers
7) Warriors
8) Mavs

Denver way too low

Denver way too low

I think they regress.

I think they regress.

Maybe if some injuries happen.

Dont think the Clippers will be number 1 either. Expect a lot of days off for Kawhi and George

1. Bulls

Yeah that’s more of a Houston gets off to a hot start and then loses the top spot due to locker room drama leading to a first round loss to the 7 seed Warriors prediction. Because it’ll be funny.

The Clippers were a playoff team without Kawhi and PG. If with load management for both of those guys they are going to win a lot of games unless one of them gets hurt.

I still think Denver and Houston will be better regular-season teams

 

[raptorlife4]

I think Utah will win a lot of games as well

Can't imagine who's going to be #1 in west on yours.

Maybe some are high on Houston, but I think at this point you just can't count on Chris Paul being healthy. They're still paper-thin at the forwards, but I think most trust Westbrook's health more than Paul's at this point and that's what motivated them to do this deal.

If he gets hurt in OKC, at least they'll have a highly-coveted prospect SGA to fill in for him. Plus they still have Schroder as a sixth man...
