Here are my predictions for the up-coming season:
BUMP.
1/4 of the way through...
NBA Champions: Golden State Warriors looks good, no challenges outside Lebron atm
Awards:
MVP: Kevin Durant no chance, has gone into full blow ****** mode. I hope LBJ can take it out this year.
Darkhorse: Blake Griffin no chance, couldn't stay healthy, even when healthy not as aggressive as I was predicting
DPOY: Rudy Gobert ill stick with Rudy although his year has been underwhelming, which I put down to chemistry issues with Rubio.
ROTY: Ben Simmons you know it! should have taken the 5/1 odds at the start of the year, was always winning this.
MIP: Thon Maker very disappointing year from my exceptions, struggling with playing time and continuity, still rake thin.
6th man OTY: Nick Young playing how I imagined but hasn't had enough playing time. Possible.
Leading Scorer: Kyrie Irving every chance
Coach of the Year: Quin Snyder every chance, although Stevens is probably leading that category tbh. Top 3... Stevens, Snyder, Brown
Other Predictions:
- Cavs don't make the finals entirely possible still but will depend solely on Lebrons willingness to play the Warriors in the finals again
- Jazz make the Playoffs (4th seed) chance, lower lows than what I was expecting. Rubio is complete let down.
- Houston and Minnesota have underwhelming seasons (5th-10th seeds) one right, one wrong
- 76's finish as a top 4 seed in the East yeh boi! All DAY!
- Rudy Gobert makes his 1st All-Star game I really hope so. Has a name around the league now his reputation will help him this year if no other Centers step up (Towns been super disappointing) and lets no kid ourselves. The Allstar game NEEDS Rudy Gobert!
- Quin Snyder finally gets a technical Pretty sure this is a tick already
- Rudy averages 20/20 for a month of the season Hope so, vast improvement in his offense needed. Needs to go back to catching everything and working on his chemistry with Rubio. Maybe after we move Favs??
- Ben Simmons averages a triple double for the season Oh yeh, my man. Big Benz! I take pride in this. Ya'll called me crazy and fair enough, no, he probably won't average a triple double for the year but come on... 18/9/7 over his first month in the league... DAMN!!! Already a top 20 player and one of the funnest guys in the league to watch, The Aussies on here must be salivating at the prospect of bringing home GOLD in 2020!!
