Come here to put your reputation on the line for season predictions. Whatever you wish to declare. Its not limited to before the season starts either. Let's see how insightful and knowledgable some you Spurstalkians... Spurstalkites?... Spurstalkerers?... bas s (thats better) are.
I'll start...
1. The Lakers will not win the West. They will still get torched by the quicker PG's, Gasol is still a , Bynum is still injury prone, and I don't like the Lakers depth for this year. They have some nice young talent in a few players but this won't be the year they shine. Plus, new coach, new system. I think OKC matches up well with them and are deeper. Although there is potential for OKC to be the next gen of mental midgets based off of what I saw in the WCF last year. I also think the Mavs are better than the Lakers.
2. I think Chris Paul wins the MVP if he can remain healthy. Although I think Derrick Rose will make a strong run at it for a second year. I know some people think the MVP is for the best player on the best team, but I don't think that should be the case and won't be the case this year.
3. Not going out on a limb much here but just to get it on the record, Miami wins the East. I'm curious to see what Chalmers will do as the starter there now and what LeBron will do with his post game that he has been working on with Hakeem Olajuwon.
4. As much as I hate to see it go down, I think Dwight Howard will get traded to New Jersey.
5. My 8 WC playoff teams in no particular order
Clippers
Lakers
Mavs
Grizz
Spurs
Nuggz
Thunder Boom
Blazers
6. My 8 EC playoff teams in no particular order
Celtics
Knicks
76ers
Bulls
Pacers
Hawks
Heat
Magic (subject to change with possible trade of Dwight Howard)
I guess thats all for now. Lets get yours on the record.

The New York Knicks will be in the Finals this year. I'm assuming Baron Davis can get back to (relatively) full health, and in the playoffs, you'll be looking at a Baron Davis/Landry Fields/Carmelo Anthony/Amare Stoudamire/Tyson Chandler lineup. VBM ain't gonna be wrong bout dem Knicks.
No Mike D'antoni team is ever going to the finals.
Mine is static:::
Kobe: 5
tired old bag Duncan: 4

Prior to last season, I would have said no Dirk-led team would ever win a le.
January 19, 2012. This will be the day that Lakers fans go absolutely ape . Because not only will they lose to Chicago on Christmas, this will be the day that the Lakers will have a 3 game losing streak to 3 good teams in a row.
Jan 14 @ Clippers
Jan 16 Dallas
Jan 19 @ Miami
Mass suicide in Laker nation will ensue. The very foundation of Laker infrastructure will crumble into dust. Riots in the streets of LA. Laker babies everywhere will cry. The Laker Girls will eat themselves into a diabetic coma. Giuseppe, Kool, and Luva will absolutely lose it!!!
The only thing that will save them?
Jumping ship to the Clippers. (Get it? Jumping ship? To the Clippers? Ha Ha I slay me.)
Chris Paul will save you amidst all of the chaos. A new era will dawn. The era of The Clip Show

No way, Jose'.
Kobe: 5
tired old bag Duncan: 4
Dwight Howard?
I'm still not sure exactly when he will be traded. If he's with the nets for only part of the season, he can't be MVP can he?
Difficult, true, but not impossible IMO. He already had a case last season.
That Dirk led team played good defence though.
IDK. I did consider him but I'm just not sure how/when that whole situation is going to play out.
Who received most of the credit for that good defense?
The Mavs have always been an above average defensive team under Carlisle they just needed that final piece to the puzzle which turned out to be Tyson.
The Knicks are a bad defensive team who outside of Anthony and Stoudemire have no real legit big time players.
I love the over-reaction to an pre-season (though impressive) performance.
I reserve the right to change this once I see some games but pre-seasosn I will say these are my playoff teams (in loose order):
1. OKC
2. Dallas
3. Lakers
4. San Antonio
5. Clippers
6. Memphis
7. Portland
8. Denver/ROX/GSW/Minny/PHX/SAC/Utah will battle for this spot ...
Some other random thoughts ...
No I dont think Lakers will win West
No I dont think Paul will win MVP unless he can get a top 2 seed historiacally voters only vote for a player with at LEAST a top 2 record in conference and or top 4 record in NBA overall ... I dont think Clips get either just based off one pre-season game.
Heat are favorites in the east OKC in the west and because of that Durant and Lebron are the MVP favorites even if I think others may deserve it over Durant ...
Chandler doesn't have Kidd, Stevenson, Marion in NY.
Damn good point.
You have a valid arguement for Durant. He very well could win MVP.
