The Warriors have done everything possible to keep their team together this year, and they’ve only added more. They will likely be the team representing the West in the NBA Finals, but who will represent the East? Where will everyone else fall? Here’s my predictions of how the 2017-’18 REGULAR SEASON will play out.
East
- Celtics
- Cavaliers
- Wizards
- Raptors
- Bucks
- Bulls
- Heat
- Hawks
- Pistons
- Hornets
- Pacers
- 76ers
- Knicks
- Magic
- Nets
West
- Warriors
- Rockets
- Spurs
- Thunder
- Trail Blazers
- Clippers
- Grizzlies
- Jazz
- Nuggets
- Timberwolves
- Pelicans
- Mavericks
- Lakers
- Kings
- Suns
The Playoffs will be a totally different animal, but the Conference Finals will probably be very similar to this year. The Cavs and the Celtics are the best teams in the East without a doubt, and John Wall is the only player that could give either team the slightest problem. The West is a little bit more interesting, the Warriors will be in the Conference finals out west again, but who they will match up against could the Rockets, Spurs, or Thunder. The West is now a stacked conference so I don’t expect the Warriors to have as easy of a time in the playoffs as they did this past season, but with all the additions made to the West this off-season still no one matches up wall against Curry, Durant, Thompson, and Green. The Warriors are my favorite to win it all again, but both the East and West will give us an exciting playoff experience next year.
