To get this season underway we have two great matchups on opening night.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors

My predictions are Philadelphia to win the first game and Golden State to win the second game. Philadelphia is going to be a beast in the East this season. I see them claiming the top spot as long as they remain in good health. Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid look to finally take Philadelphia to the next level.

The Philadelphia fans have been hearing it for years now "trust the process", it is time to give them what they have been waiting for.

The Golden State Warriors aim to win their 3rd consecutive NBA championship, if they are successful this will be their 4th championship in 5 years, a true dynasty.

I expect to see a new super team develop soon, giving the Warriors some post-season competition. I think every NBA fan will agree, seeing the same team win over and over again can become boring. Golden State is an elite team on steroids, they have no competition when healthy.

If Anthony Davis was to move to Philadelphia, the pieces for a defensive super team would be in place. It would be interesting to see the Warriors of old (Philadelphia Warriors) battling the Golden State Warriors for super team supremacy. Of course this is only a fun thought, the chances of Davis playing for Philadelphia next season are not very high. The Lakers are a more likely candidate.
