Pfft. I know it won't be easy and I admit we'll suffer more this year if a key player is out with an injury. But I still say 4th seed.
Exactly. On paper it looks like we took a step back, it's a logical conclusion. Plus they basically predict a coin flip from 4-8. Not much of a slight. The lower wins it takes to make the playoffs just says it's going to be a little more parity in the WC.
So they predicted it twice and it happened once, and somehow this is evidence of ESPN always picking OKC and being wrong?
Pretty impressive that they got the Clips and Trailblazers on the nose, including records and seeds. Otherwise, the Golden State/Houston picks look really bad right now.
