2014-2015 NBA Predictions

[HammerTime]

What record will the No. 4 seed in the East have? 42-40?

 

Knicks and Heat battle it out for #4, first to 43 wins?

[PurplePride92]

Would be awesome.

 

Requires the minor miracle of Andrew Bogut actually being healthy through the entire playoffs, right?

 

 

I'd rest him the whole regular season.

We all know San Antonio is capable of repeating. Does anyone think they will? Has Pop/Duncan ever repeated as champs?

Nope: 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014. Repeating is the ONLY thing they haven't accomplished.

Lakers miss the playoffs as well.

 

I'm still very upset Boozer is on that roster taking minutes from Randle.

[HammerTime]

It's possible but I don't think he should. Losing Parsons is going to hurt and I don't have faith in the Harden/Howard combo to make a deep run in the playoffs.

 

Ariza is barely going to be a drop off from Parsons considering he's a very good defender.

The Lakers aren't beating out the Rockets.

True. I like Parson's ability to score more than Ariza though.

More of want I want than what I think. Houston would be the 8 seed.

MVP: Anthony Davis

ROY: Jabari Parker

Western Conference Champs: Los Angeles Clippers

Eastern Conference Champs: Chicago Bulls

NBA Champions: LA Clippers

- LeBron to win MVP, although if Rose is back healthy I like his chances. Will believe it when I consistently see it. If Westbrook explodes and carries OKC until Durant returns he can have early momentum in the chase.

 

- I think the Knicks will be a solid Eastern Conference team. I love the Calderon addition and think he will fit nicely in to the triangle system.

 

- I think the Rockets take a step forward and the Warriors take a step back.... at least will stay stagnant.

 

- I think Miami will be around a 50 win team.

 

- Kevin Love will average 8 points less.

 

- The Spurs will go unnoticed all season and be one of the top 2 seeds in the West.

[bugatti]

If the Bulls make it through, they have a better setup to beat some of the Western conference foes than Cleveland, imo.

[bugatti]

One thing is for sure, I am pumped.
