The NBA season is BACK, baby!!!

Although it started last night with my Knicks getting curb-stomped by those damn Celtics (I think Boston just hit another 3-pointer), I still stand my predictions where you can see on TikTok here.

But in case you all are too lazy to go to TikTok, or just want to read without the use of headphones, my predictions are listed below. I may have thrown in a bit of insight or two.

Enjoy…

Eastern Conference

Playoff Teams

1. Boston Celtics
2. New York Knicks
3. Philadelphia 76ers
4. Indiana Pacers
5. Milwaukee Bucks
6. Orlando Magic

Play-in teams

7. Miami Heat
8. Cleveland Cavaliers
9. Charlotte Hornets
10. Atlanta Hawks

Two cents: My Knicks should be much-improved with Karl-Anthony Towns, though I will miss Donte DiVincenzo’s toughness and grit. My hesitance with Philly is that Joel Embiid and Paul George are almost always hurt. And while the Pacers should be a force to watch, I just don’t see anyone in the East threatening a VERY pissed off Celtics team. Thanks for that, Team USA boobs.

Western Conference

Playoff Teams

1. Minnesota Timberwolves
2. Dallas Mavericks
3. Oklahoma City Thunder
4. Memphis Grizzlies
5. Denver Nuggets
6. Phoenix Suns

Play-in teams

7. Sacramento Kings
8. Houston Rockets
9. San Antonio Spurs
10. LA Clippers/Lakers

Two cents: As usual, the West is wide-ass open. You can’t really go wrong choosing between the Wolves, Mavs and Thunder. I’m fascinated with the Grizzlies led by an uber-motivated Ja Morant. Will Victor Wembanyama take the next step and push the Spurs towards a playoff berth? By the way, if I’m a fan of either of the LA teams, I’d be crying in my beer right now.

And finally…

NBA Finals: Celtics over Thunder
