Who ya got for playoffs/awards?

jeff green mvp

lakers over heat nba finals, anthony davis best rookie since bron, mvp dwight howard

if he plays and stays healthy, anthony davis is an easy pick for rookie of the year.

i don't see anyone knocking off the Heat in the East. OKC just opened the door a lot wider for LAL, but because of the fundamental law of My Wanting It a Lot, i'll pick Denver as a surprise winner in the West.

^given espn experts graphic history this means we are FINALLY going to have a spurs-celtics final, yessss

If you are picking Anthony Davis #1 for ROY, who is your #2? That might be the more divisive question. I'm going Harrison Barnes.

The Heat seem like a strong bet to repeat, but just for fun I'll say Celtics over Thunder.

Almost all players will score more points than they did last year

cumulatively, amirite?

Barnes looked amazing in preseason but I'll go with Lillard.

I'm super curious how Sullinger will turn out. Preseason numbers are solid but yeah lol preseason.

(Not in ROY terms, just overall performance)

lillard has a shot obviously b/c he'll be the undisputed starter, play 35 minutes a game, get all the shots he wants, and is 3 years older than his competition.

ray allen will get booed in boston

predix

finals lakers/heats
champs lakers ugh god
mvp: durant (actual best player lebron but ppl sick of voting for him)
roy: davis
bobcats: 8 wins, 74 losses.

feel like this is the year people get sick of getting sick of voting for obv best player for MVP

lebron's best answer to mvp snubbing is to rub voters noses into it, by snapping up rings one after another. if he can.

NBA champ- Heat over Spurs

(they'll probably just give DPoY to whoever blocks the most shots but oh well)

oh yeah and I guess Manu wins 6th man again

i bet ibaka wins DPOY this year as his overall game improves even if he just keeps blocking shots but playing good-not-great overall D
