As always, there will sometimes/often be overlap with the "Dukies in the NBA" thread. But, there is still a decent amount of regular season NBA discussion that doesn't squarely fit into that thread, so therefore, this thread exists.

Season tips off tomorrow with Warriors-Nets and Clippers-Lakers. Man, it feels like last season just finished.

Season predictions? (You can come up with your own categories, of course). I'll go:


East #1 seed: Celtics
West #1 seed: Clippers

Rookie of the Year: LaMelo
MVP: Luka

East semifinalists: Celtics vs Heat
West semifinalists: Clippers vs Lakers

Champion: Lakers over Celtics


Note: all my predictions will, of course, be rendered moot by eventual injuries and trades (Beal, Harden, maybe others). Still fun to make them.
