Hey guys, I was just curious on what you guys think the western conference seeding will look like at seasons end? Have a little project I'm doing, so help me out if you can. I'm thinking something like this 1) LA Lakers 2) Denver 3) Houston 4) Spurs 5) Utah 6) New Orleans 7) Portland 8) Dallas ???
1)LA Lakers 2)Utah Jazz 3)Houston Rockets 4)San Antonio Spurs 5)Denver Nuggets 6)New Orleans Hornets 7)Portland Trailblazers 8)Dallas Mavericks Book It
This topic is pretty well covered in the following stickied thread: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=163163
No believers eh? I am a believer that the Houston Rockets will get Top 3 seed. I could easily be wrong, but I still believe. I am confident.
1) Lakers 2) Spurs 3) Utah <-- Sorry, but they're just really, REALLY good right now 4) Rockets 5) New Orleans <-- Which would be interesting for us... 6) Nuggets 7) Portland 8) Dallas
I really don't think we'll be a very high seed. We have some tough games ahead. I see us as the 5th or 6th seed, which could actually be a very good thing. But by all means, we cannot play Utah for the third season in a row.
You guys just have no idea how hard our schedule is. We are only 1 W 6 L in road games against western playoff teams this season and that win was in Oct. There are 6 more games like this waiting ahead. 5 or 6 seed is the reasonable place for us.
I just hope the Rockets can get home court advantage. Otherwise, I'm not optimistic about their chances of advancing. They have a relatively tough schedule remaining with 13 out of the 19 games against playoff caliber opponents.
