My predictions :

Warriors make the playoffs.
Damian Lilliard is a good player.
Drummond grabs rebounds.
Brandon Ingram is ROY.

My predictions all Heat related:

1. If Dragic and Whiteside play at least 72 games each the Heat make the playoffs. If either miss 20+ games then Miami will tank it's way to a top 3 pick.

2. Dion Waiters will win MIP and dupe somebody to paying him max money next season.

3. The Bosh breakup gets real ugly. Lawsuits and mediators will be involved.

4. King B Mack will be calling D. Wade "bitchmade" again by seasons end.

I think Ingram will be an after thought when it comes to ROY, still coming off the bench with average contributions by season's end.

But he'll end up the most likely HOFer from this year's rookie class (year 3 break out).

Interesting and makes a lot of sense.

MVP: LeBron James for the 5th and final time

NBA Champs: Cavs

Kings make the playoffs.

Bucks barely win 25 games.

Harden averages 20 and 10 APG. But also averages at least 5 turnovers.

Embiied makes the 76ers watchable.

If you have the Hornets as the 6 seed and the Hawks as the 8 seed, wouldn't Charlotte win the Southeast? Give us the damn belt.
