Hello all, it’s that time of year again! This is the 4th Annual Season Picks Game, presented by yours truly, dmo21.
The game is pretty simple:
– guess the end of year standings for both conferences (1-15)
– 3 guesses at each season award
– 3 guesses at each main category leader
All picks have to be in before the season starts. The rules and scoring can be seen here: http://www.nbadraft.net/forum/season-picks
Past years picks and results can be seen at these links:
http://www.nbadraft.net/forum/season-prediction-results
http://www.nbadraft.net/forum/season-pick-results
http://www.nbadraft.net/forum/season-picks-final-stats
I’ll post my picks shortly. The easiest way to play along is to copy and paste my picks post and alter to your needs.
So play along and put your knowledge on the line! You may win yourself glory or you may come out as a fool!! But at least there will be proof.

  Seems you missed the SPG category. The website probably just cut off your last line though (it does that from time to time).

Ill do mine in a bit Ive been drinking. But I must say but I probally say it every year. All you people always underate Toronto. Ladt year the majority of the forum ranked them as an away seed. If tou dont have them as a home seed your trippin bruh. I dont see any reason they wouldnt be ranked second. They conti ue to improve. Chumps.
Check on this at the end of the year too.

  I’m a laker fan and I’m happy we got him. There’s a lot of potential, he just had his most impressive preseason game which is a good sign that he is getting more comfortable. He’s also a much better defender then I anticipated. He gets bullied physically but he really uses his length to his advantage. With all that said, it’s gonna be a slow rookie year for him. I’m thinking all rookie second team with around 9ppg. Expect the team to cut him loose more his second year.
