Who will be the 8 teams that make the playoffs in the Western Conference? I am just going to stick with the win totals I said in the 'Bold Predictions' thread and have no idea if these win totals are possible for each team because, you know, math. I am only concerned if the team and seed match. So anyways...... Here are mine; #1 seed: Golden State Warriors- 68 wins #2 seed: Los Angeles Clippers- 64 wins #3 seed: Portland Trail Blazers- 61 wins #4 seed San Antonio Spurs- 58 wins #5 seed Utah Jazz- 55 wins #6 seed Oklahoma City Thunder- 54 wins #7 seed Minnesota Timberwolves- 52 wins #8 seed Memphis Grizzlies- 47 wins What are yours?
#1 Portland #2 Golden State #3 Houston #4 San Antonio #5 Clippers #6 Oklahoma City #7 Dallas #8 Memphis
#1 Golden State Warriors #2 Portland Trail Blazers #3 Los Angeles Clippers #4 Utah Jazz #5 San Antonio Spurs #6 Memphis Grizzleys #7 Oklahoma City Thunder #8 Minnesota Timberwolves
1.) Golden State Warriors 2.) Los Angeles Clippers 3.) Portland Trail Blazers 4.) San Antonio Spurs 5.) Memphis Grizzlies 6.) Oklahoma City Thunder 7.) Utah Jazz 8.) Houston Rockets 9.) Denver Nuggets 10.) Phoenix Suns 11.) Dallas Mavericks 12.) Minnesota Timberwolves 13.) New Orleans Pelicans 14.) Sacramento Kings 15.) Los Angeles Lakers
1. Golden State Warriors 2.LA Clippers 3. Portland Trail Blazers 4. San Antonio Spurs 5. Utah Jazz 6. Oklahoma City Thunder 7. Minnesota Timberwolves 8. Memphis Grizzlies
That is a lot of wins by the top 6 teams. You must have the east and the west lottery teams with some very low win totals.
The Rockets are only winning 35 games this season. Harden as point guard is going to be an unprecedented disaster. Dantoni is a horrible head coach and Houston is not going to the playoffs. Dallas is not making it because this is the year Dirk starts to really show his age and they don't have enough to pick up on Nowitzski's fall in production.
Like I said in my OP, I am not sure if these win totals are possible and I didn't try to figure it out because you know, math. All I am concerned with if I get the team and the playoff seed correct.
Warriors Blazers Clippers Rockets Spurs Suns Jazz Thunder Gonna be a tough race for those last spots.
I can't believe you guys are falling for the Jazz hype. They're not that good. I'm not sure they're even better than the Suns.
How do you get away with this type of shit? The experts in Vegas last year said we'd win 26 games, I said 23 and got shit on for the past 11 months. YOU ACTUALLY THINK WE WILL WIN MORE GAMES THAN THE FUCKING WARRIORS!!!???
Just a guess here, but I'm thinking you're gonna get shit about that prediction for at least another 11 months. I'm standing firm on my 60 for this year, so I could end up in the same boat.....
You really believe the roster we have right now can win 60 games? Do you understand how dominant your squad has to be to reach that mark?
