    I like Bosh but this blood clot problem is serious. You run the very real risk of him dying on the court. Kersey died from a blood clot. Bosh should retire.

    I see that the prediction about the championship parade in Portland was left off the list. Must have decided it wasn't crazy.

    Exactly what I thought. Don't know why people love hopping on the clippers and jazz bandwagon year after year when nothing great has come From those teams

    The Clips if healthy should be the 2nd best team out west if you ask me.

    I personally think it has more to do than just health. CP3 and Griffin have player options after this season.
    If they start off slow like last year 100% trade rumors will start to swirl.
    Griffin has already shown he's a metal midget... So I doubt the Clippers can handle the situation if they start the season like they did in 15-16.

    Plus, they STILL have a horrible bench and not a single player on their roster that is a starting caliber small forward.

    In the five years they've had CP3, Griffin and Jordan, they've never finished higher than 3rd in the West (3rd twice, 4th twice and 5th once). Is the West really going to be weaker this year?

    The doctors work for the team, no? I had read that Bosh wanted to seek other opinions after the team decided he was done.

    It's common for sports writers to say "Crazy Predictions" and then post a lot of actually realistic scenarios. Zach Lowe went the other way....

    Geezus, Jazz aren't even making the playoffs let alone winning 50 games. I wouldn't be surprised if Utah finished last in the division.

    IF the Grizzlies miss the playoffs (they won't), that would be a massive disaster for Memphis after huge contracts for Conley and Parsons. I think Mavs with Bogut, Curry, and Barnes will be quite good as well. The top 8 from last year are the top 8 this year. Sorry Minnesota.

    Maybe I should familiarize myself with all the new rosters around the league before making any prognostications, but with regards to the LAC/SAS 2-seed prediction, I'll take it a step further: We will finish with a better record than the Spurs.
