okay, Lakers Spurs Portland Dallas Denver Rockets Hornets Suns ---- Utah with 49 wins Celtics over Rockets in 6.
I wanted to revisit this thread since it seems alot has changed. Blazers, Spurs, Hornets and Jazz have been awful. Nuggets, Suns and Rockets have been better than expected. Lakers and Mavs are about what I expected. Heres what I am thinking now: Lakers (62-20) Nuggets (59-23) Mavs (55-27) Suns (53-29) Blazers (52-30) Spurs (50-32) Rockets (49-31) Jazz (46-34) I don't think the Hornets will be good at all this year.
I got no problem with your list except that i think utah is gonna be in the top 8 except for the griz.
Lakers Blazers Nuggets Rockets Mavs Suns Spurs j*zz not in that order and funny how that's the current top 8 in the west..i think it'll stay that way for the rest of the season
Just taking a blind stab but Denver Lakers Spurs Portland Dallas Houston Utah Phoenix I think New Orleans is imploding and that Phoenix will deal with either a mid season trade or Nash will be hurt for a few games. Denver will be the surprise of the season behind an MVP season for Carmelo. Lakers won't be far behind and, while they will be considered favorites to take the west still, people will doubt their heart and effort. None of it will matter though as Boston will destroy everyone. East will look like this... Boston Orlando Cleveland Atlanta Miami Washington Philadelphia Chicago I have an idea. Let's keep this thread in mind and see who is closest to right.
Also... spoilers ahead... WEST Round 1: Denver vs. Phoenix = Denver wins Lakers vs. Utah = Lakers win Spurs vs. Houston = Houston (barely) wins shock!! Portland vs. Dallas = Portland (barely) wins sorta shock! Round 2: Denver vs. Portland = Denver wins Lakers vs. Houston = Lakers win (welcome to Earth boys) Round 3: Denver vs. Lakers = Lakers win (boo) EAST Round 1: Boston vs. Chicago = Boston wins (not as fun as last year at all) Orlando vs. Philadelphia = Orlando wins Cleveland vs. Washington = Cleveland wins (again, lol) Atlanta vs. Miami = Miami wins (barely) sorta shock Round 2: Boston vs. Miami = Boston wins (easy) Orlando vs. Cleveland = Orlando wins (again, lol) Round 3: Boston vs. Orlando = Boston wins (not easy though) FINALS Boston vs. Lakers = Boston wins in 6 (kinda easily)
