mvp harden
dpoy gobert
rookie dennis smith
worst record atlanta

worst record is a real tossup between chicago and atlanta for me

oh wait im changing my vote to chicago actually lol

the denver nuggets will win the NBA playoffs

gotta make it first

feel like theyre a p solid top six seed this year

yeah

you guys are doing a great job so far. you all sound very plausible and I'm having a hard time deciding who's nailed it perfectly. except k3vin.

Warriors
Rockets
Spurs
Thunder
Clippers
Wolves
Blazers
Nuggets

Celts
Cavs
Wiz
Raps
Bucks
Heat
Hornets
76ers/Pistons

mvp giannis
mip dont care
roy no clue
6moy iggy or i quit
coy ya boy celts coach
dpoy draymondooooo

iggy really shd get that 6th man award at some point even tho its a dumb award that doesnt really make any sense

worst record chicago, most depressing team chicago, fanbase that hates their team the most chicago

6moy is a way to salve the hurt feelings of all the bench players in the league by telling them they are truly special.

if iggy didnt get it last year when the only other options were shameless gunners with only one single actual nba talent then idk wtf. gordon was an awful player the second half of last season.

otm.

gsw > boston
mvp: durant
dpoy: giannis
rookie: simmons
worst record: bulls

lol spottie with the copout on the east 8th seed. make a pick!

ugh dammit. 76ers i guess

sixers are such a wildcard cause its all abt embiids health

yup

even if he plays like only 50 games they probably end up better than the pistons

generally id think theres no way a team with that much youth can win at all but hes so good he can make it happen

they have three wild cards with embid, fultz, simmons but i like some other pieces on that roster too: Covington, Saric, Amir, JJ reddick, Bayless (if healthy), plus the added championship pedigree of one of the all time great
the 2-time nba champ james michael mcadoo

doubt fultz will be any good this year, simmons maybe cld be dece tho

fultz should maybe start with the most basic of basics 'how to shoot a free throw'

always a good skill to have in your bag o tricks

76ers could leave fultz in the g-league and still have a pretty high ceiling imo. Holmes and Saric are v underrated

obv a huge variance with the 6ers, i tend to think they'll struggle.

ppl thought the twolves could make the offs last year too

they didnt have jimmy butler last year

no I mean I think philly will improve but not by that much yet

twolves are in the west

yeah thats the key obv

76ers could leave fultz in the g-league and still have a pretty high ceiling imo. Holmes and Saric are v underrated

forgot about holmes, but hes got a broken wrist atm

no I mean I think philly will improve but not by that much yet

ah me too, unless embiid plays 55 games in which case they will prob win the 38 games it will take to make the east offs

holmes is supposedly only out like 3 weeks. if it's longer that's another story.

rumor has it the hornets are starting someone named Dwayne Bacon on opening night, this may affect my predictions

watched him play the other night, he has a small face, one of those small face guys

are there any important players starting the season injured besides IT and batum?

kawhi maybe

lavine, jabari

rondo

J0rdans fav soloman hill

both big sauce and brandon knight hurt their knees in the offseason. ACL for knight and torn meniscus for williams

tony parker til dec

“Dwayne bacon” is just Dwight’s funny joke for opening night

what a loon frankly

thank u for the injury info

rookie lonzo “ball”

only 7 western conference teams will survive the season due to global disaster

oh lol shove Denver in at 6 idk where they disappeared to

i forgot that millsap was on the nuggets now until i did this exercise

yeah that moves gone a lil under the radar but its pretty huge

MVP Steph Curry
MIP Aaron Gordon
ROY Ben Simmons
COY Dave Joerger
EOY Danny Ainge

Warriors beat Celtics in the finals 4-2

i'm a little worried that millsap is dropping off but i want to be optimistic

i put all last years seeding predictions in a spreadsheet and assigned a score of 1 for every correct placing

results

5: slothroprhymes, micah
4: m bison, clay, j0rdan s
3: spottie
2: ciderpress, call all destroyer

no one correctly picked mvp, dpoy, 6moty, coty or roty

wow I need to reassess my picks knowing there is accountability

I'm using a deterministic method this year

nuggets will win the nba playoffs
