Wednesday Bolts: 10.23.19

The season starts for the Thunder tonight in Utah.  So, the Bolts today is a mega-round-up of NBA/Thunder season previews:

• Official season preview by Nick Gallo
• NBA.com season preview by Steve Aschburner
• ESPN.com’s season preview (with a blurb on the Thunder by Royce Young)
• SB Nation’s season preview by Kevin Nesgoda
• The Ringer’s season preview by Kevin O’Connor
• Basketball Insiders’ season preview (panel)
• Forbes’ season preview by Nick Crain
• Hoops Hype’s season preview by Frank Urbina
• The Athletic’s season preview by Erik Horne

John’s season predictions. I’m purposefully burying these predictions in the Bolts.

• Thunder’s final record: 34-48, 5th in the Northwest
• NBA MVP: Giannis Antetokounmpo
• NBA ROY: Zion Williamson
• NBA DPOY: Paul George
• NBA MIP: Caris LaVert
• NBA Sixth Man: Lou Williams
• NBA COY: Doc Rivers
• NBA Finals: Los Angeles Clippers over the Milwaukee Bucks

Something to think about:  With the Thunder’s entire future up in the air, is this the most intriguing season in Thunder history?
