utah is overrated. there's a reason why they've been a 1st round exit team. no playmakers. donovan is heavily overrated. he;s a chucker. conley is a good addition, but that's still only 1 playmaker. the other additions can not create their own shot, they're just perimeter scorers. and rudy gay is just an elite defender, he is not skilled offensively to do any damage.

their offense is very limited.

suns offense>>>>>>utah offense

They will have one of the best offenses in the league now to go with a great D. Conley, Mitchell and Bojan can all score in a variety of ways.If they don't score Gobert will have an easy dunk with the spacing they lacked with Favors/Bricky or they will have an open 3 with guys that can actually hit them. Good luck stopping them especially since most teams can't stop anyone

[CurryOverLebron]

I got Lakers missing playoffs

[Foster5k]

I'm only worried about the Lakers. The rest are irrelevant. I got the Lakers at the 4th spot due to load management during the regular season. If they went all out, they could get the #1 seed but be dead tired and worn out come playoffs.

Lakers will make the 4th spot then LeBron + AD will turn it up during the playoffs and win the championship. book it.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

I got Lakers missing playoffs
That honestly wouldn't surprise me. People overhyping them just like last season.

For me, I got:

1. LA Clippers
2. Utah
3. Houston
4. Denver
5. Portland
6. San Antonio
7. Sacramento
8. LA Lakers

Utah, Houston, and Denver are pretty interchangeable at #2-4 for me. And I think #7-8 could be a free-for-all between Sac, LAL, Dal, GSW, and NOP.

Of course, rosters and my gut feeling can change over the next few months.

Also, I'm the only dude who has GSW missing the playoffs so far? Bookmark this and rip or praise me come next Spring.

yea. Gs seems like they're good enough to make it unless klay misses almost the whole season and/or another huge injury which you just cant really assume since any team would fall off with one to a star

[RoseCity07]

Blazers going to finish top 4 again. The haters just don't get it.

Highwhey w/ PHO making playoffs
Cheesesteak, dazzer w/ GSW missing playoffs
CurryOverLeBron and Cheese both with LAL ranked very low

Nice bold predictions so far

Chances are at least 1 top team will have an impactful injury next season, leading to a drop off in position or out of playoffs. GSW will have to rely big on at least 2 rookies for a majority of the season with Thompson out, so I can see them dropping to a lower seed.

[Spurs m8]

Lol spurs gonna be much better than last season...the dumb nba fans are sleeping as usual

[NugzFan]

Every fan cries that their team is underrated

[kkb_12]

Regular season:

1) Blazers
2) Nuggets
3) Jazz
4) Rockets
5) Clippers
6) Warriors
7) Spurs
8) Lakers
9) Kings
10) Mavericks

Playoff:

Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets (and Nuggets) have nothing to prove in the regular season - Jazz and Blazers race to the top seeds (but fail to go past 1st playoff round)

Nuggets beat Clippers in conference finals
Lakers do not play complete for 50% of season due to injuries
