    Alrighty, so I it’s that time of year again. Bit behind schedule, but let’s give it a whirl. So here it is, year 10 of The Season Predictions Game!! Last year: https://www.nbadraft.net/forums/topic/2021-season-predictions-game/

    The basics are:
    -Predict the rankings of each division from 1 to 15.
    -3 guesses each for NBA awards (with your most likely option first)
    -3 guesses each for each stat category leader (with your most likely option first)

    Scoring for rankings:
    -5 points for guessing the correct ranking of a team
    -3 points if your predicted ranking is one off from their actual ranking
    -1 point if you predicted if the team was in the playoffs or not correctly (we’ll just say top 8 as I don’t wanna deal with that play in tournament thing they are talking about)

    Scoring for awards/stats:
    -5 points if your first pick was correct
    -3 points if your second pick was correct
    -1 point if your third pick was correct

    Predictions and changes to your predictions can be made up until tip off of the first regular season game.
    I’ll put mine out here soon and then everyone can use that format after (would make my life easier if you did haha).

    Why does everyone always underrated Toronto. Do we have these predictions logged? I’d like to see throughout the years where we had Toronto ranked (consensus) and where they actually finished. They finish 5th last year with injury issues for Van Vleet, Siakam and OG all throughout the season, they come back healthy with the rookie of the year and added depth with Young and Porter and you have them ranked 9th? With ha;f the league tanking for Wemby theres just no way they finish 9th. I’d love to hear why you have them ranked so low.
