Over/Under 2016-2017 NBA Regular Season

1.) I say slightly over. He’ll most definitely begin the year under 20 minutes, but will increase to the 23-25 minute range in January once he’s conditioned & starts producing. Very excited to see him on the floor!!

2.) Barely under. I have Boston right at 50 wins next year unless they strike a trade for more of an immediate contributor.

3.) Over. I’m a Jazz believer, and even though their top end talent is not as good as GSW, LAC, or SA.. I think they’ll go toe to toe with any other team out West record-wise.

4.) Slightly over. Parker averaged 18.9ppg after the all-star break last year. With his team USA experience this summer, I think he improves a little on those numbers for the entire season.

5.) Under. This show was going downhill well before Skip announced his retreat. 

6.) Over. Two words… contract year.

7.) Does over mean he won’t be fired? If so, over. The Pelicans will be better next year if Jrue Holiday can stay healthy.. but they still won’t make the playoffs.

 1) Under. He has to show me he can stay healthy before I will conclude he will play 20 min a game all season.

2) Over. Great coach and the addition of Horford will make them a tough team to beat. But still no chance vs Lebron in the playoffs. 

3) Under. People seem to be really high on the Jazz for next year. I just don’t see it. Rudy is offensively challenged. I’m not sold on Hayward being the face of a good team. Favors has been very disappointing. I like lyles and Exum but too young to really contribute like they would need for 48 wins.

4) Over. I see him averaging 20 this season if he can stay healthy. Kidd know they need him to take the next step.

5) I believe Skips contract with fox does not allow him to appear on ESPN anymore. 

6) Over. If he doesn’t he will be looking at close to the minimum in his next contract

7) No way he gets fired this year.

 1)Over- He seems pretty optimistic. As if he survived a crazy car accident, attack or got the cure for a disease. I think he maybe healthy.

2)Under-Alot of things went right for Boston last year for them to win 48-games. I think they finish with about 48-wins this year as well

3)Under-Jazz have a good team but after the big 3 out West competition will be close and stiff. I’ve got Utah below OKC and Portland for sure.

4)Over-I believe in Parker. The Parker/Wiggins rivalry has been one of my favourites all throughout HS and college and it is not dead. Parker has elite talent and he will show that this year.

5)Don’t Care- I try to ignore Skip Bayloless and all things affiliated with Skip Bayless. 

6)Over- He played 66 games last year and I think the Knicks will be competitive this year as well. Let’s face it, Rose has to have a productive and healthy season this year if he wants to remain a starter in this league. Brand will only get you so far.

7)Under(I guess)- Under means he gets fired right. Well I think this team has not been constructed correctly and they will end up firing another coach that did his best.

 1. Over – though if the over/under on 65 games would be interesting for Embiid as well. 

2. Under – think Boston is getting a tad overrated by people. Think they win 45 games or so as the East should be more balanced out. 

3. Push? – could see the Jazz winning 51 games this year for sure. Their depth is fantastic and while they might not have the high-end talent to contend for a title, they’ll be a tough cookie for people in the regular season. 

4. Under – I’ll say Parker puts up 16.5 points as Middleton and Greek Freak put up about the same and the Bucks are super balanced. I could see Parker breaking out, but I’ll be contrarian since I’ve seen amost everybody guzzling the Jabari Kool-Aid. For the record, that’s fine. My wife is a Duke fan and she loves Jabari perhaps more than any other Duke player, so I guess I root for him too. Happy wife happy life to the kids out there. 

5. Not even sure who is on First Take anymore. Honestly think its worse without Bayless though because if I’m right, it means more Stephen A, who is more insufferable than Skip somehow. 

6. I’ll say over…doesn’t mean the "old Rose" is back though for those still holding onto that dream. 

7. Sure…some coach always gets fired at a weird time. 

 1. Over – not his career, his mpg. Being positive.

2. Under but Boston should be roundabouts the 50 win mark

3. Over – I’ll say the Jazz crack 50. I’ll go out on a limb and say they will also be right there with GSW and SAS at the pointy end of the Western Conference finals. 

4. Over – I say Jabari goes for 20ppg

5. Don’t care

6. Under – im not confident in the move, think the Bulls made out like bandits 

7. Don’t think he’ll be fired
