Mark my words, the Warriors not make the playoffs in 2014-15.
Mark my words, Derrick Rose will have another season-ending injury in 2014-15.
Mark my words, Kobe Bryant will have another season-ending injury in 2014-15.

Mark my words, Jabari Parker will register less than 50 assists this season.

They're 3-0...

That is pretty bold. Out of curiosity, who do you have sneaking in that wasn't last season?

I just saw this from another thread. I, too, felt Jackson was mistreated and I can't stand the Warriors' clueless new owner, Peter Guber (perfect name for what he is). I miss the days when Warriors fans would boo him at halftime so badly that ex-players would have to come onto the court and plead with the fans to stop.

As a Cavs fan, I was hoping they would have hired Jackson instead of Blatt, but it wasn't meant to be.

That being said, I can't see the Warriors not meshing a little better than last season. There's a lot of critical young players on the team that are only improving.

Jax was a 9-5er; I respect what he did during his time in Oakland, especially with turning around the defense, but he was personally as invested in his ministry as his coaching. Plus there were players who were disgruntled with his offensive schemes (or lack thereof) even if others genuinely loved his style. I can't fault ownership for wanting to go in a new direction, at a critical point when they should be contending for a championship. Now if they had lost out on Kerr, I might be more pissed off...

I haven't thought that far ahead yet. I'm still celebrating the Giants' WS win, and wrapped up in the NFL season. I'm especially shocked by the implosion that's going on with the Niners now with Harbaugh's job surprisingly on the line.

I don't put much weight in the early season records. I expect Bogut to get injured as usual and be unavailable for much of the season. I think Iguodala will get hurt as well, like usual. Curry will wear down over the season, likely get hurt as well. Injuries are going to derail this team, and as the other teams begin to get better, Warrior's players who many expect to produce, will falter down the stretch. As a coach, Kerr hasn't earned my respect, and I have no faith in the judgment of the minds who drive this team, especially in showing the idiocy to get rid of Mark Jackson after what Jackson did for this team.

Something to look forward too, eh?

Mark my words; the Clippers will not get to the finals. He has hexed himself by sticking his nose into politics and getting an 18 page monstrosity of a gun control law passed in Washington state. Plus he has been exposed as a cheat.

This is a guy with great hubris, and as the ancient Greeks taught us, hubris always portends calamity.

I was going to say 38 wins & make the playoffs, but that's really pushing it.
All-star break coming up, & Bucks already met my prediction of getting twice as many wins as last season. I should have made a bolder prediction.

So far you have got two right. I highly doubt the Warriors will miss the playoffs however.
