2017-2018 NBA Predictions

Sorry it has been so long since this site has had an update. Been extremely busy lately. But I’ll try to get back on things.

The NBA season is ALREADY kicking off tonight, so I thought I would get my predictions in at the last second!

Like past years, I use an extremely complicated (not really) formula to come up with a score for each team. It’s a fun and unique way to do things, and always delivers some surprises (hello to you too, second seed Miami Heat).

As much as I would like to go out on a limb, all signs (and then some) point to Golden State vs. Cleveland v 4.0.

Anyway, this is just for fun, so enjoy!
