I think Nuggets will surprise people if Gallo can stay healthy. They've got a really good coach and some nice young players.
Blazers will disappoint, they overachieved last year. I don't think they'll make the playoffs. Still they're a nasty matchup for the Jazz.
Clippers are injury-prone and Rivers is a terrible coach. Besides there are some off-the court issues going on with Blake punching people and all. They lack depth but their top-3 players are elite. So I think they'll underperform in the regular season but make a deep run postseason.
Grizzlies are underrated, Houston has the largest variance of expections, who knows where they'll end up, I'll say #6 seed. Wolves will make the playoffs. We always say Spurs won't be as good this season but they somehow end up winning 60 games so... Mavs will suck as did most teams in the history of the NBA with so many iffy veterans. OKC is a poor team without Durant and Ibaka. But they're excellent at developing players so Oladipo might get better over time and help Russ.

UTA Jazz will win 50+ games because depth means a lot in the regular season and they were already a top-10 in the NBA last year point-differential-wise with Raul Neto and Trey Burke playing the PG.

Here are my predictions:

1 Warriors
2 Spurs
3 Clippers
4 Grizzlies
5 Jazz
6 Blazers
7 Thunder
8 Rockets
9 Mavs
10 TWolves
11 Nuggets
12 Pelicans
13 Kings
14 Suns
15 Lakers


I found Thunder/Rockets/Mavs hardest to decide on. I feel those three could end up in any order.

I'll go out on a limb and predict the Warriors #2. I think they will have much less focus on the regular season and will sit guys more often than last year. Combine that with their lack of depth, and it could effect their regular season record.
