The Warriors and Nuggets will play for the WC finals. Too many unknown parts on the east to predict anything.

Magic beat the Knicks in the ECF to represent the East in the Finals. They lose 4-2 to the TWolves behind Ant, who has a Finals that caps a season that cements him as a top 5 player in the league.

Not sure if its even boldish, but my prediction is Kings miss the play in. That team is terrible.

The Wizards will finish the regular season ahead of the Sixers and the Hawks.

Give me moooooore.
Who do you see carrying the load with Hali and Turner out? I like Furphy as a surprise contributor honestly


Mathurin will have his breakout season, lead the team in scoring. He will have a 50 point game. Siakam will put together another All-Star level season. Nembhard and Nesmith will continue their solid contributions. Jarace Walker and Johnny Furphy will step up and become consistent rotation guys. The center rotation won't be great but it will suffice.


Mathurin is fools gold , this guy isn’t it

Saying this Pacers will eliminate Knicks again third year in a row

Westy will fly them all first class to LA to watch Luka vs Spurs in the first round?

The Rockets do not miss Fred VanVleet as much as people think, and the addition of Kevin Durant plus internal growth from young players propels them to another 50+ win season. They or Denver will face Oklahoma City in the Western Conference Finals.

What I hate about these type of threads is that most posters mistake making a bold prediction with making a prediction that's just completely unrealistic. Let's set our homerism aside and keep RealGM a place where serious and educated basketball discussion rules the day. The last true bastion of unbiased and pure basketball discourse on the internet - something that's reflected in our season predictions.

Now that I've got that off my chest,

Suns sweep their way to the championship. Ryan Dunn wins MVP.

The Kings will somehow make it to the playoffs and will upset whoever they’re playing against in the first round.

Westbrook will be having fun and we’ll all cheer for him

This is considered baiting. This is your only warning.

EDIT: Wait...how many warnings do you already have against your record? Wow.

Scoot injury is a bummer. He was poised to have a breakout year. He still might have it, but Portland may tread water for the first half of the season. I still think Portland defensively is going to be a pain in the arse.

It's actually good for the Lakers if this scenario plays out.

Think about it. If the Suns win the championship, next season the Lakers will have Even Angrier Ayton!
