I will preface this by saying I’m a Mavericks fan so you can feel free to put Thunder above them, but I don’t see it.

West:

1. Mavericks
2. Thunder
3. Timberwolves
4. Nuggets
5. Grizzlies
6. Suns
7. Pelicans
8. Warriors
9. Clippers
10. Rockets
11. Kings
12. Lakers
13. Spurs
14. Jazz
15. Blazers

East:

1. Celtics
2. Knicks
3. Sixers
4. Pacers
5. Cavaliers
6. Bucks
7. Magic
8. Hawks
9. Bulls
10. Heat
11. Hornets
12. Pistons
13. Raptors
14. Nets
15. Wizards

I would really only consider bucks at 6 and pistons at 12 as contentious predictions. The bucks drop that low due to age and injuries, the pistons climb finally catching some momentum. I suppose lakers fans might be mad but try being realistic bros. Ranking the west is truly brutal beyond the nuggets though and so many teams will be within a few games of each other. Finals should be a repeat with hopefully closer games this time around and a memorable game 7.
