NBA 12-13 Season Predictions

[Rios15]

Season is still far away so maybe you want to wait on this but I figured it would be fun to have a prediction thread (before the season starts). We'll pin and close it for the season and see who was most accurate and that person can get bragging rights. I know we can count on mexi to make another bold prediction this year (ie. Gilbert Arenas winning MVP

). You can edit your predictions until opening night.

[CameronCrazy06]

Shit I kinda wanna change my pick to Javale McGee. I've been calling him being really good this year but I completely forgot about him when I was thinking about it.

 

[Pugz]

i think javale is going to be my mip too. fuck ben gordon.

 

[bosoxlover12]

He's gotten so much bigger this offseason

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd be shocked if MKG wins ROY.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I guess we all should change our sixth man of the year picks now that Harden got traded. I'll take Manu but he probably won't stay healthy

 

[Pugz]

i never picked a 6th man

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Is Lou Williams still coming off the bench?

 

[Pugz]

i think he started the game i was just at
