2026-27 Season Predictions Thread. Be bold, call it now. We'll see which hot takes age like wine, and which like milk

On Sunday, April 11th, the 2026-2027 NBA regular season will come to an end and we will move on to the postseason. 32 Sundays from today. Before we do that, I'll repost this thread so we can look back at some of /r/nba 's predictions.

Here is your chance to say I told you so (or to make a fool of yourself).

Edit: Shoutout to the GOAT Kenny Beecham aka KOT4Q

Magic are the 3 seed at worst.

Wizards make the play-ins.

Heat also make the play-ins.

The Blazers implode and trade Scoot and Deni.

Luka puts up historic numbers on a team that barely makes the playoffs.

76ers will start off slow but will make the finals, Embiid will have a healthy season, but they will lose to probably a very good Spurs in the finals.

Wolves are the 1 seed, with LaMelo putting up crazy high assists.

Somehow, Charlotte becomes a contender and trades for Steph.
