The 2025-2026 NBA season is BACK!

I’m so excited, mainly on the hope of my Knicks will help take the sting out of my Yankees getting pummeled by those damn Blue Jays. With the wide-open Eastern Conference and the rugged Western Conference, this should be one intriguing season.

I will be predicting playoff squads from each conference, followed by conference champs and Finals champ. So without further ado…

Eastern Conference

1. Cleveland Cavaliers
2. New York Knicks
3. Atlanta Hawks
4. Indiana Pacers
5. Detroit Pistons
6. Boston Celtics
7. Orlando Magic
8. Milwaukee Bucks

Conference Champs: NY Knicks

Western Conference

1. Oklahoma City Thunder
2. Houston Rockets
3. Dallas Mavericks
4. Minnesota Timberwolves
5. LA Lakers
6. Denver Nuggets
7. San Antonio Spurs
8. LA Clippers

Conference Champs: Houston Rockets

2026 NBA Finals Champions: Houston Rockets

(So much for a new dynasty is on the horizon…)
