    My prediction

    1. Gsw - 62 wins
    2. Houston - 58 wins
    3. Spurs - 51 wins
    4. Utah - 48 wins
    5. Okc - 47 wins
    6. NO - 47 wins
    7. Portland - 46 wins
    8. Denver - 45 wins

    ——————————

    9. Lakers - 44 wins (that’s right no LABron in the POs)

    10. Clippers - 42 wins (play pretty good but become sellers and auction off lots of players for assets)

    11. Minnesota- 39 wins (butler walks or gets traded at deadline, thibs gets canned mid season)

    I don't know about the rockets it's gonna depend Let's say we have 8 million dollars to spend.

    Which group do you like better?

    Brook Lopez, Thomas, Jeff Green

    MCW, James Ennis, Melo

    Lopez is stretch 5, but we can play him 26 minutes a game (Clint and Brook 26 minutes a game, 4 minutes at PF)

    If we have Thomas, we can rest Paul more time.

    Jeff Green is much better defender than MCW, James Ennis and Melo.

    Why does everyone assume OKC got better!?

    I honestly can’t tell if this is a joke or not! Every offseason we do the same ****! Overrate teams like OKC and SA. And assume that the Rockets will get worse... Freaking ridiculous!

    I heard that OKC is looking to buy out Melo... addition by subtraction...

    But what about the Lakers!?!?!?!? With those new upgradez of Lebron, McGeE, RonDO, and StepHENsON they're for sure going to claim the 2 seed out west; ESPN and Lakers fans said so! Oh and lets not forget that Josh Hart was summer league mvp. :D
