**2010-2011 NBA Predictions Thread**

[sooperhooper]

With all of these over-confident fans of a certain team, I think this will be an interesting idea. This way, instead of digging up what a certain thread about what someone said about a team/ event, we can refer to one thread. I'm not sure if this has been done before, but let's see if this can work.
 
 Here's the format:
 
1) Clearly Name a team and/ or award and list All predictions that you have for it.
2) NO EDITING ONCE THE SEASON STARTS!!! Only to keep things fair.
3) Keep bickering to a minimum. If you have a 5 paragraph essay targeted at someone, hit up their inbox.
 
Any ideas for more rules are welcome. Here's an example of the format: (fake names used to keep down premature arguments)
 
-MICHIGAN BEARS- 62-20 record they will trade their star player for (insert person)
 
-RANDY RODGERS- Will become MVP because now he is able to create his own shot since his team traded (inert person)
 
-ROOKIE OF THE YEAR- Carlos Hopkins
 
-NBA FINALS MATCHUP- New York Eagles vs San Diego Tigers (insert player) will be finals mvp Tigers will win 4-2 

 
So forth and so on. Make sure your predictions are Clear. We have until the season starts (which is a while) so I'll post my picks later. Let the Predictions begin.

Miami will come very close to the 72-10 record, 69-13/70-12, but they will not break it.
Durant will win MVP with the other top two candidates are now on the same team, it's his to win.
Griffin will be ROY...this years draft class was sorta weak...
Boston will give Miami trouble...and Orlando will dismiss them from the playoffs
Everyone will either turn around when lebron comes to cleveland or just not even show up
Someone on the Miami cHeat will be injured, i don't know why but this feels just too good for them to be true and something will hold them back.
Orlando vs. LA Lakers finals, lakers in 6, mamba with the MVP
Mario Chalmers will be seen as the next Rondo.
Delonte WILL dunk on lebron and yell..."I WANT GLORY!!!!!!!!-uh......and a wire hangahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Milwaukee Bucks will make it to the eastern finals

Oh brother.

A team has an inconceivable run, then they sign two of the most selfish players in the league, have an incredible logjam at the 3/4 that will probably force them to trade one of the two more important players to their success last season (Mbah a Moute or Ilyasova), their franchise player suffered a very serious injury and their second best player hasn't played in three years. Oh, and Brandon Jennings is still the point guard.

This Bucks hype wagon? Count me out.
