    My reasonable prediction on the final results. Does it deserve a thread of its own? Perhaps to get more attention. The playoff prediction part though I admit is a bit crazy as I favor the Rockets all the way. But you can agree to disagree. ;)

    Denver

    @ Lakers [L]
    vs Sacramento [W]
    @ Portland [W]

    Finish 2-1 (55-27 overall)

    ----------------------------------

    San Antonio

    vs Utah [W]
    @ Sacremento [W]

    Finish 3-1 (53-29 overall)

    ----------------------------------

    Houston

    @ Sacramento [W]
    @ Golden State [W]
    vs New Orleans [W]

    ----------------------------------

    Portland

    vs Lakers [W]
    @ Clippers [W]
    vs OKC [W]
    vs Denver [L]

    ----------------------------------

    New Orleans:

    @ Dallas [L]
    vs Dallas [W]
    @ Houston [L]
    @ San Antonio [L]

    Finish 1-3 (49-33 overall)

    ----------------------------------

    Jazz


    @ San Antonio [L]
    vs Golden State [W]
    vs LA Clippers [W]

    ----------------------------------

    Final standings

    1. Lakers (Who cares?)
    2. Denver (55-27)
    3. San Antonio (53-29)

    7. Utah (49-33) [Currently leading against New Orleans H2H by 3-0]

    Thanks for your work. I was thinking about doing something like this but then I was like, "Nah, I have a life." Haha, just kidding.

    I think you are underestimating the Hornets. Do you really think the Hornets will finish 1-3? They aren't the same team as last year, but I doubt they would lose against the Spurs -- which I actually think are in tank mode soon to SOS Duncan's knee or whatever. (He's been playing injured.)

    Spurs won't finish so well, imo. They are injured, handicapped, and mentally raped. I think Spurs will finish 2-2, with a loss to the Hornets and another random loss due to inconsistency.

    Houston can go for 4-0 or 3-1.

    I don't think the Blazers will beat the Lakers again. They are fighting for hca in the finals.

    I want the Mavericks to win all out so Utah can finish 8th, but then that means the Hornets would lose 2 and may actually end up 8th instead of Utah.

    Again, Hornets will finish stronger then 1-3 and Spurs won't go 3-1. I would say at least 2-2 for these teams.

    Just took 10 minutes or so.

    In some ways if you think about it we either win easy 1st round but lose 2nd round or win the hard way and cruise to WCF.

    Great work man! we really need to play hard and win the rest of our games. We should be ok if we win out. We dont need to worry about the other teams. Just play our game and win. Lose 1 or 2 could easily knock us down to 6 seed.

    Denver will NOT win 2-1 in this schedule. Their record should be 54-28...which will tie Houston if Houston won it all.

    Ever heard of David and Goliath buddy? Have you? How bout Rambo single handedly taking out an entire country with an bow and arrow and an survival knife, huh? You remember that? What about Michael J. Fox hitting that winning free throw in Teen Wolf WHILE he had Parkinsons Disease?? Sounds impossible right? Well its not. It really happened. Faith can move mountains, buddy. Faith can move mountains....

    As we have a good chance to win it all, I'd like the Spurs will lose to the Hornets, so that we can win the division. And in case Denver lose two of the rest, we could step up to the 2nd place in the conference. ;)

    I'd like to see rockets finally got either 2 seed or 3 seed, then we have good chance to meet Kobe in the final. Who is our enemy in the first round? don't care :D

    I'm still sticking to my version:

    1. LA
    2. Denver
    3. Houston
    4. SA
    5. Portland
    6. NO
    7. Dallas
    8. Utah

    First Round
    1. LA vs 8. Utah
    2. Denver vs 7. Dallas
    3. Houston vs 6. NO
    4. SA vs 5. Portland

    Second Round
    1. LA vs 5. Portland
    2. Denver vs 3. Houston

    Western Conference Finals
    1. LA vs 3. Houston



    We'll see...

    San Antonio has a better division record than us.

    This is pretty much how I see it happening, except I can see Utah beating Denver in the 1st round, and if we beat NO, end up being another foul fest in the 2nd round. Ugh that would suck. I'm honestly hoping Utah drops to #8 so the Fakers and their posse of referees instantly eliminates them.

    er, I meant all that if Utah was #7. I think they will finish either 6th or 7th.
