What is the start of a season without blindly making predictions so you can go back in five months and let me know I know nothing.  Too bad, here it is anyway…how I see the NBA season is gonna finish up with playoff seeding in parenthesis.

Now, time for the playoffs;

 

Miami beats Milwaukee

Atlanta beats Boston

New York beats Orlando

Chicago beats Indiana

 

Then Miami beat Atlanta

Chicago beats New York

 

Miami then beats Chicago to go the Finals again.

 

In the West;

 

Oklahoma City beats Sacramento

Then Oklahoma City beats the Lakers

And Oklahoma City beats the Clippers to face Miami in the NBA finals.

 

Oklahoma City will win the finals with Kevin Durant winning both regular season and Finals MVP.
