2015/2016 NBA SEASON OFFICIAL PREDICTIONS

[EAGLESFAN10]

With the NBA Season just a little over a month away I wanna know what you guys predictions for this NBA Season


MVP - Kevin Durant or Paul George


but there are a lot that will be to win it






Coach of the Year - Billy Donovan


1st year coach and with that talent on OKC I, if they can stay healthy then I think he can win it


Rookie of the Year - D'Angelo Russell/Emannuel Mudiay/Justice Winslow


Breakout Player - Gordon Hayward/Damian Lillard (It's HIS team now)


Teams that will surprise


Lakers - I know everybody is saying Kobe this Kobe that but if you really at there roster and the players they drafted and acquired thru FA they have TALENT and OFFENSE but the question will be can they play DEFENSE but Kobe has to stay HEALTHY


Bucks - I think they surprised us last year by how they played but with a Healthy Jabari Parker coming back mannnnn they can do damage in the East and not to mention the height of damn near every player on the team


Heat - A healthy Chris Bosh returns and provides instant offense and they have a legit point guard to run the show , Wade steal can give you 20+ points a night when healthy and WHITESIDE mannnnn if he can play how he did last year this team will give teams trouble and they have a DEEP BENCH might be one the best in the league on paper and Winslow IMO will play the role of James Harden and play sooooo good that he will basically be auditioning for a Max Contract for Miami or another team


Hornets - I think this team is finally destined to make a run at the playoffs with the additions of Kaminsky , Batum and Lin , this team has talent across the board


Suns - With the emergence of Brandon Knight last year and them adding Tyson Chandler brings them a defensive anchor and Rookie Devin Booker can really be a spark off the bench


T-Wolves - With such a young team the addition of Kevin Garnett and Tayshaun Prince and Andre Miller this year is what this team needs and Rookie Karl-Anthony Towns will have a very solid rookie year and Tyus Jones will a good year behind Rubio


Wizards - Wall and Beal will need to stay healthy for this team to make a run


Jazz - They have the talent and I think Gordon Hayward will have BREAK OUT Year


Pacers - PAUL GEORGE AND MONTA ELLIS that's all I'm going to say


Kings - DEMARCUS COUSINS, RUDY GAY, RONDO AND GEORGE KARL




Teams that took a step back


Trailblazers
Nets
Knicks
Celtics

oh man, I'm optimistic with the Lakers and all but I don't see they grabbing the last spot on the playoffs at all.

[OkayC]

I was thinking about making one of these threads, its about time for it anyway.

league mvp kd or lebron(i think with kd coming back and lebron having a year to get comfortable in cleveland, I think mvp goes back to 2 a man race between kd and lebron like its been the past few years barring last year)

Roy hopefully d'angelo russell

nba finals
cavs spurs or cavs thunder (dont know who'll win not even gonna try to predict) I will say i think the bulls could pull a potential upset on cleveland, tho its not likely.

MVP: Durant(I can see a big arguement being the 14-15 Thunder season. How they had 45 wins and didn't make playoffs,cause Durant missed alot of time. So if they go back to around 55-60 wins,Durant will get MVP)

Rookie: Russell

West:
1.Warriors
2.Spurs
3.Clippers
4.Thunder
5.Rockets
6.Grizzlies
7.Mavs
8.Pelicans

East:
1.Cavs
2.Bulls
3.Raptors
4.Wizards
5.Hawks
6.Bucks
7.Celtics
8.Heat

Finals: Cavs-Thunder

lol, I forgot they lost Aldridge. Haven't really paid alot of attention to NBA or NHL during offseason cause for once baseball is interesting to watch for me. Forgot about so many moves that have happened.

[ProfessaPackMan]

Raptors gonna have the 3rd best record in the East huh.

[ojandpizza]

Sleeping on the Heat.

Dragic, Wade, Deng, Bosh, Whiteside

Even with Wade's health questions that's a better group than Dragic had in Phoenix and it's the East.

Decent bench group of Chalmers, Winslow, Green, Amar'e, McRoberts

Not saying they will instantly mesh and finish a as a top group in the East, but on paper they are nearly as good as Cleveland and Chicago. IMO
