The Real 2014-15 NBA Regular Season Thread

[elcheato]

I looked back, I didn't even say Spurs would get a bottom 3 seed. I said 3-5 lul

 

[elcheato]

 

For now:
 
The Spurs finish in the 3-5 range, ousted in the first round of the playoffs
 
Kyrie will lead the Cavs in scoring
 
Lance Stephenson finishes top 5 in MVP voting
 
LeBron does not finish in the top 3 in MVP voting and averages the lowest amount of points and rebounds in his career aside from his rookie season
 
Dion Waiters gets all-star consideration
 
Portland never really comes close to making the post-season 
 
Sixers run off a losing streak of AT LEAST 30 
 
Russell Westbrook averages 34 ppg while Durant is out 
 
I'll have more later
 

To be fair to myself, this was in the bold prediction thread, so I'll keep telling myself that. 

 

[elcheato]

When nola said the Pelicans would finish above the Grizzlies and Rockets, my response was "Memphis for sure" 

 

[elcheato]

 

thunder miss playoffs.

 
We almost had to bow down to our new overlord. 

 

[buzzy]

The Lance, Waiters, Portland and Philly predictions are superb.

Does Russ come close to 34 PPG?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Lance Stephenson haha

Didn't you have the hornets #2 in the east?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

My only prediction from that thread:

The Wolves won't finish anywhere close to a playoff spot

I guess I really went out on a limb given that they were a sleeper playoff contender

 

[Pugz]

i would have looked like a genius.

Just listened to a JJ reddick podcast and he said he doesnt like watching college basketball. Thats kind of funny lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Grantland? I listened to that too. Great interview. Not even trying to be biased.
 
But he has a great recollection of individual games, teams, seasons, etc. I think he could be a great coach down the line if he wanted to do that.

I think I was the only one here that predicted Memphis as a Top 3 seed

Yes. I liked how he really stated his honest opinion. He wasnt trying to be politically correct when talking about certain teammates. He was also very candid when talking about referees which I liked a lot as well. I was thinking the exact same thing, I could see him becoming a coach.

KCP is either good or hot fucking garbage. There is no in between with his game.
 
Dre looked nice in this one though. Real impressive in the post, had a couple real nice moves.
Reggie did his thing yet again. 
 
Just can't wait for the off-season to start lol.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Damn

The Rockets are currently tied for 2nd place, but are closer to the 8 seed's record than the 1 seed's


Curry is winning mvp

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Not including the last week, Curry has sat out 15 fourth quarters due to blowouts. That's amazing.

 

[RipCity32]

If the Rockets had Steph instead of Harden do you think the Rockets would have a better record right now?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Probably around the same.

But I think the Warriors' record would be worse with Harden instead of Steph

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah for sure, that's why I didn't ask the reverse haha. James wouldn't hit in place of Steph at all.

 

[elcheato]

Mainly because he's not a point guard 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He's essentially been playing PG all year though
