With the season just starting thought it would be fun to post some predictions for the season for us to look back on at the end and see how they turned out.

Who’s going to have a breakout year?

Dark horse candidates for awards?

Surprises and upsets for the playoffs?

Anything else you want to throw out there is fine too!

    Here are mine, reaching on them a bit for sure but not taking this too seriously.

    • Ben Simmons has a pretty good season and plays at least 60 games. Not a big fan of his but it’s a contract year lol if it’s going to happen it’s gonna be this year.

    • Celtics don’t make it past the conference finals. This one is hot especially after the opening night game but think their front court is weak and they got a bit lucky last year with the injuries in the East. Probably the one I’m at most risk of looking stupid on though.

    • OKC doesn’t make it to the conference finals. I’ve seen some taking them to win the west or at least get there but I think they still have some growing pains in the playoffs this year and go out in the 2nd round. The future is incredibly bright for them though, think they are perennial contenders in the west after this year.
