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.
