Mine from last year were: > Ben Simmons has a pretty good season and plays at least 60 games. Not a big fan of his but it’s a contract year lol if it’s going to happen it’s gonna be this year. He played 51 games and started a chunk so I was close! > Celtics don’t make it past the conference finals. This one is hot especially after the opening night game but think their front court is weak and they got a bit lucky last year with the injuries in the East. Probably the one I’m at most risk of looking stupid on though. Was correct on this one although the Achilles tear was the driving factor. > OKC doesn’t make it to the conference finals. I’ve seen some taking them to win the west or at least get there but I think they still have some growing pains in the playoffs this year and go out in the 2nd round. The future is incredibly bright for them though, think they are perennial contenders in the west after this year. Definitely wrong lol This year I’ll go: - Jokić MVP - OKC/DEN west conference finals - Knicks/Bucks Eastern Conference finals - Flagg ROY Hot Takes: - Spurs make it to the 2nd round - Lakers out in 1st round - Zion plays 50-60 games - A star is traded before the deadline (might not be hot)

I don't watch enough non-Timberwolves games to make an educated prediction about anything.

How do you feel about the Timberwolves this year?

B2b wcf appearances, looks like they're running it back this year (minus Alexander-walker). I think it will be an entertaining year. Should give the rest of the team more time to gel, and young players more time to develop. I'm looking forward to it.
