"The West got tougher so the Blazers will lose more" is a terrible argument.

    The NBA according to HCP.

    Every team will lose more games, except the Lakers.

    The combined regular win/lose record for the entire NBA will be 920 wins vs 1520 loses.

    The Lakers will go 81/1. The one loss will be due to James resting one game to heal an eye injury.

    James will pop an eye blood vessel while having an intense mind blowing orgasm with HCP's wife.

    Everybody is going to be losing......
    Unfortunately the NBA is set up so someone must win- no ties! Maybe established stars that have a six or seven year history will do best?

    All the talk is about how the Clips, Lakers, Denver&Houston are going to fight for the WC #1 seed. Im going out on a limb with Portland taking the #1 seed.
    Also biggest gainer on the West will SacTown, they will beat out Lakers for 6 seed.

    Both things could be true and were still wouldnt be overachieving by going 29-23 against the West.

    I'm not even making that assumption. I'm arguing the logic in isolation. It doesnt apply to the same team who underachieved against the West.

    So what do you think our record against the West will be?

    You're asking the HCP to think? The reason he's a great photographer is that he just points and shoots....thinking would probably make him lose that edge!

    I get a commission for keeping him distracted...but apparently he hit his target at least twice!

    I don't really look at last season what we did or didn't do. This is brand new season so we don't know exactly what teams will do we can speculate by looking at the roster but until we play the game then we know who does what this season.

    But if someones saying the "West got tougher" theyre using last year (how the West was) and comparing it to this year (how the West is now). This thread is in response to that.

    This season coming up reminds me of the NBA in the 80's and 90's. The Pistons, Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, Blazers, Jazz, Spurs, Bulls, Pacers all were contenders during that time. It looks like we might have some good basketball coming up.
