- Houston wins the most regular season games
- Miami get the 2 seed over Boston
- GSW lose one game in the playoffs (opening round vs. Memphis)

Eat your heart out Zach Lowe. These are some real bold predictions.

In this year's crazy Lowe predictions column, wild thoughts like: Cody Zeller will win the starting job back from Dwight Howard by the All-Star Break.

It's a hilariously mismatched roster, but AD and Boogie are really, really good players that are natural centers, which might not be so catastrophic if that position weren't also hopelessly outmoded in the modern NBA, so that's probably not going to work out so well. No way they make the playoffs.

They had a real good defense last year and now they also have Tony Allen. Then Rondo can just dump it to Boogie and AD for 50pts each per game. 60 wins right there

Governors should've started some kinda soccer loan system. Have some tanking team swap a decent SF for Asik's contract for the year.

Hes had that attitiude for exactly one team but I understand why you dont like the guy. .

hoiberg benched AND suspended him just last season. yeah, he straight up gave up during a playoff game with the mavs and i have a huge bias, but dont paint rondo as some misunderstood competitor. he's a piece of shit and pretty much every coach he's played for thinks so going back to kentucky, boston, dallas, & chicago. i dont even know who was his coach in sacto.

and he WAS a much better player than i am giving him credit for.

Gonna be real depressed when he ends up shooting really well and averages like 12 assists per game while Teague loses his starting spot to yet another tiny PG because he's the most terminally average PG ever
