**The Official "Let's Get This On The Record" Prediction Thread**

[LnGrrrR]

Thunder wins it all, against the Bulls. Youth reigns supreme this year. All predictions guaranteed or your money back.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I think the Bulls' ceiling is the same as last year...i dont see Rip making that big of a difference.

[HarlemHeat37]

so what's up with the change of colors?..

[Nathan89]

And I think OKC's James Harden will win 6MOY.

agreed. I need to change my prediction from "someone on the Nuggets" to Harden. I made that prediction previous to China taking their players and limiting their depth.

[FkLA]

people picking okc to come out of the west or win it all

no closer and a soft coach=2nd round exit

[TIMMYtoZO]

OKC will be in the finals. Miami will win the east pretty easily. OKC lacks a scoring bigman. Miami in 5.

[LkrFan]

Lakers over the Hype in 6. That's it and that's all.

And I keep my avatar.

Aren't there like 3 or 4 season prediction threads out already? Do we get to make contradictory predictions and cherry pick later?

Of course. If it's good enough for national columnists, I don't see why we'd hold this message board to a higher standard.

Perhaps but I just copy&paste my same predictions. One of these threads will get bumped and I'll see how good or bad my predictions were.

Also I tend to predict more. In the next thread or this one I might predict the east.

cp3 has the mvp locked up. the durant backlash should begin soon or i should say durant hangover. they are over him, a bigget just passed by him, the medias eyes are transfixed on the new girl now. i got NY as a sleeper to win the east. injuries will ruin this season. lots of teams that wont deserve will make it far.

imho NY is trapped under Miami and will never win the East. That and the fact that they have D'Antoni.

It's a shame because I've always been a huge Anthony fan but he'll probably go down as this era's Charles Barkley. Being trapped by LA in the West and the Heat in the East means he'll most likely retire ringless yet come close many times

[024]

Knicks will reach the ecf if they don't have to face the heat in the first two rounds.

[benefactor]

OKC will win it all. They are probably the most complete team in the NBA and with the compressed season their youth and depth will help them outlast everyone else.

[m>s]

although the lakers may not be that formidable as they used to be, they're still a top four in the west w/o no doubt and they'll make you pay in BIG games if you underestimate them. Thunder look really good atm and they have decent depth but i'd still pick lakers/mavs/spurs over them in a best-of-seven series

[Darth_Pelican]

ECF: Heat over Knicks in 5

WCF: OKC over Mavs in 7

Finals: Heat over OKC in 5

Regular Season MVP: LBJ

Finals MVP: D. Wade

Well I predicted the EC Champs, the WC Champs, and the regular season MVP correctly so far. If the Heat win and Wade wins Finals MVP, I'll feel pretty lucky.


Mavs in WCF
Knicks in ECF

[Darth_Pelican]

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.
