2014-15 NBA Predictions!

[sunsfan88]

Dallas added Chandler Parsons and Tyson Chandler. Plus Dirk is healthy.
Houston lost Parsons, Asik, and Lin. Starter and depth. They will be worse.

I think it will be very tough for the Suns to make the post-season this year. The West is just so deep.

Tyson Chandler isn't very reliable to stay healthy. Dirk is aging. The Mavs PGs are Jameer Nelson and Devin Harris.

You forgot Rockets added Trevor Ariza who played extremely well last season for Washington.

Here's a couple Suns predictions in no particular order.

Zoran will contribute small but consistent solid minutes by the end of the season. He's a smart player that knows how to play team ball. He'll be steady on boths sides of the ball.

Alex Len will be the starter by the 30th game barring injury. He was the answer all along.

Archie Goodwin will not contribute in any meaningful way this year.

The Dragic/Thomas pairing will have the best +/- of the PG pairing. The gap will be not insignificant.

The Suns will not finish in the top 3 in pace. Maybe 5 or 6. Pace is created better with passing than dribbling

Goran will shoot 80% from the FT line.

If Bledsoe leads the team in points or shots attempted, the Suns will not make the playoffs.

Goran will have the best absolute +/- on the team.

And one league prediction. Betting against the Spurs/Pop is a fools errand. Clear favorites in the west.

I predict lakers, spurs, cavs, etc. will get ALL the calls and I'll hate the NBA that much more lol. Manu will hurt 5-15 people this year from flopping. Kobe goes commando and injures himself. Suns go to NBA Playoffs and win it all!! Yeehaw.

Works for me. I'm already tired of watching the Spurs get all the calls and it's just opening night.

The west is so tough this year. Minny is going to be really good. Nop is going to be good too. Then there is the regular cast of characters

Mavs look good. Remember they took the spurs to 7 games. They added a healthy Parsons and Chandler. Their back up pg was a starter and all star.

I expect the blazers, thunder and grizzly to slide a bit in wins this year.

Spurs
Clippers
Warriors
Thunder
Mavs
Rockets
Suns
Grizzly


Cavs
Bulls
Heat
Wizards

I'd say Minny is going to be better than most people expect this year but I doubt they'll be 'really good'. I think Utah is going improve a fair bit, mainly due to having a new coach. I don't know squat about him but Corbin seemed to be unable to get the most out of his players. They're a very young team - can you believe Kanter and Favors are only 22 & 23 - so just a year of maturing will make quite a difference.

I see a lot of people suggesting the Wolves will be better this year than last year and I just don't see it. There's no denying they have some of the best athletes in the league but I think once the games start counting their inexperience will show up. I don't think they win 30 games.

I do agree that Utah will be improved, they have a lot of youth but they have nice pieces at every position. They also have an abundance of riches where we are penniless; with them not picking up Kanter's option maybe there's a deal to be made for us.

How must it feel to be Greg Miller and have let Hornacek go and kept Corbin.

It may have been a little tough last year but I'd guess he's pretty happy right about now. The Jazz look pretty damn good for a team that was supposed to only win 25 games. Their offense looks great and Synder has to get a lot of credit for that. Whoa, and Gordon Hayward. He looks like he was worth every penny he got.
