Masterlist. 27/30 rankers submitted. This is our 10th annual predictions thread. Predictions are fun to look at now and a great way to lock in the general sentiment about teams early in the season. I recommend mobile users to open in your mobile browser (safari, chrome, etc.) if you are having difficulty viewing in an app. We are still looking for a ranker for the Clippers, Pelicans, and Raptors.

      Yea takes away from all the time everyone else put in. He does legit rankings all year then every year goes full homer on predictions. Annoying for everyone. Problem is we can’t even fill every slot to begin with (see openings for LAC, NOP and TOR) and he is punctual and provides generally good rankings other than this thread.
