NBA Predictions- 2010-11 Season

1. John Wall (Washington Wizards) and Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers) will battle it for Rookie of the Year, with both of them taking their respective teams into the playoffs.

2. Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder) will emerge as not only this season's MVP, but the clear choice as the best player in the league.

3. The Los Angeles Lakers will struggle with injuries all season, yet make it to the NBA Finals.

4. The Miami Heat will dominate, much to the chagrin of everyone outside of Miami. They will stun the world be winning the NBA title. Finals MVP= Dwayne Wade. The sports media will go crazy trying to stir shit between Wade and James, but to no avail. Meanwhile, the media will ignore Chris Bosh, who will quietly play the best ball of his career. Lebron James will be even more hated after the season. Wade and Bosh will earn a ton of respect. Oh, also, at some point during the season, Pat Riley will take over as head coach, which will be seen as the dick move that it is.

5. After a series of very public meltdowns and bizarre business decisions, everyone will realize that the competitive drive that made Michael Jordan the best player ever will also make him the most insanely awful owner ever. Pray for the players, the front office underlings, etc., because David Stern will never step in and threaten Jordan, so this will mark the beginning of a reign of terror unparalleled.
