=====================

Simple rules.....

1. Post your prediction.

2. All predictions are frozen at first game tipoff (moderator allowed for corrections to several single team omissions)

3. Your score is based on the net difference between your prediction and standings. For example, if you pick the Spurs to be first and they are in fourth, you receive 3 points for the Spurs. Low score wins on total of all 15 teams.

4. Ranking is based on win% only.

5. Tied teams each receive an averaged score. For example, two teams tied for 5th/6th place are each scored as 5.5. Three teams tied for 10/11/12 are each scored as 11. I updated this to make scoring simpler and easier to understand.

6. I'll post rankings periodically through the season.


Getting the ball rolling:

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

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.
