I am so glad that the NBA season is finally here. Tonight the Golden State Warriors will get their championship rings and unveil yet another banner. That will put a final wrap on last season. Now we look forward to the upcoming season and give you a few predictions for 2018-2019.
Here is how I see the Eastern Conference Playing Out….
- Boston Celtics
- Philadelphia 76ers
- Toronto Raptors
- Washington Wizards
- Milwaukee Bucks
- Miami Heat
- Indiana Pacers
- Detroit Pistons
- Charlotte Hornets
- Cleveland Cavaliers
- Brooklyn Nets
- Chicago Bulls
- Orlando Magic
- New York Knicks
- Atlanta Hawks
Here is how I see the Western Conference Playing Out….
- Golden State Warriors
- Houston Rockets
- Oklahoma City Thunder
- Los Angeles Lakers
- Utah Jazz
- Denver Nuggets
- New Orleans Pelicans
- San Antonio Spurs
- Minnesota Timberwolves
- Portland Trail Blazers
- Los Angeles Clippers
- Memphis Grizzlies
- Phoenix Suns
- Sacramento Kings
- Dallas Mavericks
My final thoughts on the season as we get ready to embark on the new NBA year. I think that the Warriors will win again but will be in an EPIC final against the Boston Celtics. Boston is the only team that I think that can beat them but I believe will come up short. As far as the season long MVP I am going to pick Kevin Durant. Regarding the Sacramento Kings, I have them winning 24 games but edging out Dallas, avoiding the worst record in the West.
