NBA 19-20 Predictions
Making prediction
for A NBA season is not about just guessing, it’s basically a kind of study
based on a lot of information, which includes the players’ transfers, the
drafts, the injuries, etc…
It is about
figuring out which players will fit and adapt in their new teams, and with new
teammates, especially super-star players. It is also about looking at the
injuries report and the drafts results …and more.
There are
actually 30 teams in the NBA, but there are probably only 8 that have
legitimate championship aspirations. However, and to be honest, nobody
predicted that the Toronto Raptors would win championship last season, but they
did…how! Well many people said that the major reason was Kawhi LEONARD, who is
currently playing with Paul GEAORGE for the Clippers.
NBA Champion:
Clippers:
The Los angelos Clippers are the favorite
NBA pick to win the championship. They signed the last Finals MVP and traded
for another top-10 player. We're talking about Kawhi Leonard and Paul George,
who are elite players. This Clippers core group was good defensively without
those two, and their addition to this team gives them the ability and the
flexibility to shut down the other team's best player.
in addition of the Head coach Doc
Rivers, who has championship experience, so really all of the pieces are there
for this team to make a legit run at a title.
Lakers:
The lakers on the other hand got
Anthony DAVIS, with Lebron JAMES and other expertise players forming a solid
group, which make them also a favorite
team to win the title.
Bucks:
Giannis Antetokounmpo won league MVP
at only 24 years old and will be one of the leading candidates again this year.
The Bucks led the league in margin of victory, rebounds and points per game.
They did lose a few pieces from last
year's team, but the core group of Giannis, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe
remain.
Rockets:
One of the most intriguing stories
of the season is the relationship between James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
These are two of the highest-usage players in the history of the NBA. Now one
if not both will have to sacrifice possessions for the greater good of the
team.
How will that work? Westbrook can't
be a spot-up shooter because, well, he can't shoot. Harden is so ball dominant
that Westbrook must do a better job playing off the ball.
All of this is Mike D'Antoni's job
to figure out, to find out how to benefit from these skilled players, and if it
works then it’s going to be hard on any other team to go against the Rockets.
76ers:
It could be argued that the Sixers
have the best starting five in the league (Ben Simmons, Josh Richardson, Tobias
Harris, Al Horford, Joel Embiid). They certainly have the biggest group, and
the defensive potential that this five has is scary. The Sixers should be
really good on offense, too, although outside shooting could be an issue.
Richardson should really benefit
from his new role. He can be a solid perimeter stopper and secondary playmaker.
As for Horford, his basketball IQ and defense automatically make this team
better. He is also a great passer who will help encourage better ball movement.
The Sixers should be able to get Embiid more rest now that they have another
capable big man in Horford.
Dark horses:
The Nuggets:
offer great value as a dark horse NBA pick,
finishing second in the Western Conference last season after winning 54 games.
They aren't getting as much buzz this year because of the improvements the two
Los Angeles teams made. As for their chances at winning an NBA title, the main
problem is the consistency of the pieces outside of Nikola Jokic. Starting
guard Jamal Murray will be worth watching, as he just signed a massive $170
million extension this past summer.
are another team with a ton of buzz after a busy offseason. In comes Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdonavic to strengthen a very good group of players. The Jazz are still a longshot to win the NBA title, but they have the type of defense to make noise. If they maintain that defensive identity, this team has an outside shot at making a deep playoff run.
