With the season just starting thought it would be fun to post some predictions for the season for us to look back on at the end and see how they turned out.

Who’s going to have a breakout year?

Dark horse candidates for awards?

Surprises and upsets for the playoffs?

Anything else you want to throw out there is fine too!

    Ah too early for that. I haven’t gotten my eyes on every team and every player.

    Too early prediction: Raptors will be bottom in East. Tank Commander Darko here we go! Celtics-OKC Finals. Jamal Murray won’t find his form and Nuggets will lose in 1st round.

      Yeah Murray has me concerned. The Nuggets have no depth at all so if their core 4 aren’t playing at their peak they don’t have a shot.

      They have picks they could package in a trade but you’d have to part with either Murray or MPJ. I don’t think the Nuggets do that this season so they’re going to hope Murray stays healthy and figures his stuff out and the young guys improve enough. Definitely a lot of ifs this year for them.

        I think they need to put Murray on ice for a few months then bring him back. He just looks broken and worn down. He was horrible in the olympics. We were cringing everytime he’s on the floor.
