    Agree with ESPNs logic. West will be very tough this year. Then again I say that every year.

    I think it depends more on the East. IF the East can win some games against the west. 45 wins might get 4th seed, but if the West owns the East again, like the year before? 50 wins will MIGHT get you in the bottom fourth

    44 wins....... 5th seed.

    Really needed to get a scoring threat down low to help out our backcourt. I think our additions will help on the defensive end for sure though.

    Ill wait for Bones and the others to criticize this one, since it said virtually the same as mine did. With the same win totals. Breath held

    It should be readily apparent to anyone reading the posts on this board that we are very often in need of a convenient out.

    On a serious note, I think you can get better without having more wins.

    Yeah if the West got wayyy better.

    But it didn't.

    Yeah, a few teams got better, but the Spurs, Clippers, Kings, Mavericks, Thunder and Pelicans all got worse. It balances out.

    The east got better too. If GS doesn't win 73 games does it mean they are worse?

    No it means that they are integrating a 4th star into their big 3. It's not really a fair comparison.
