Some people told me that starting a bit early would be way better for them (or outright impossible to do at the scheduled time) so I changed the starting time to 1 hour earlier.

Also, @Brandish μ will take Milly's spot to make it 10 members.

KELDON!!!

I'm keeping track of predictions again so make sure to DM me your predictions for the following categories before the season starts!
- NBA Champions
- IST Champions
- League MVP
- Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY)
- Rookie of the Year (ROTY)
- Most Improved Player (MIP)
- 6th man of the year (6MOTY)
- Clutch Player of the Year
- Coach of the Year

 

[Hardy]

Hardy

- NBA Champions - Celtics

- IST Champions - Lakers lul

- League MVP - Luka

- Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) - Wemby

- Rookie of the Year (ROTY) - Castle

- Most Improved Player (MIP) - Giddey. Epic comeback Disney story. Cade would be a great pick but he's never healthy.

- 6th man of the year (6MOTY) - Going with Donte though he might start and make me look like an idiot like White last year.

- Clutch Player of the Year - Luka if he isn't MVP. Brunson if he is.

- Coach of the Year - Popovich, narrative. Carlisle is a sneaky good pick imo.

Betting odds:


- NBA Champions
1. Celtics
2. OKC
3. Knicks

- IST Champions
1. Celtics
2. OKC
3. Knicks

- League MVP
1. Luka
2. Jokic / Shai depending where you look.

- Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY)
1. Wemby
2. Chet
3. Gobert/Bam depending where you look.

- Rookie of the Year (ROTY)
1. Edey
2. Sheppard
3. Risacher

- Most Improved Player (MIP)
1. Wemby
2. JDub
3. Mobley / Jalen Johnson depending where you look.

- 6th man of the year (6MOTY)
1. Monk
2. Naz Reid
3. Levert / Donte depending where you look.

- Clutch Player of the Year
1. Curry / Luka / Shai
4. Brunson

- Coach of the Year
1. Thibodeau (Knicks)
2. Udoka (Rockets)
3. Jenkins (Grizzlies)

Odds are changing a lot though. The 76ers looked kinda dead last week and since it was confirmed that PG's injury isn't so bad they are like the 4th favourite or sth like that.

Keldon regressed so much last year that he could be a MIP candidate with CP3 around. Narrative award tho (like all of them but this one is worse).

NBA champions - Denver

DPOY - Wemby
