How do you see the final standings shaping up? My prediction: 1. GSW 2. MEM 3. LAC 4. POR 5. HOU 6. SAS 7. OKC 8. DAL
I could see either of you two correct but I also could see this: 1. GSW 2. SAS 3. MEM 4. POR 5. LAC 6. HOU 7. DAL 8. OKC You could also flop POR and LAC but KS said we have some tiebreaker due to division lead.
Maybe. Despite the past, for some reason I think we'd have more of a chance against them than against the Clippers or San Antonio. Whoever we get it's going to be tough.
There is just no gimmie in the west 1-8 but if I had a choice I want Dallas in the first round and I want GS playing OKC and Memphis playing the Spurs. Since I think we'll get to the conference finals, we have to beat two really tough teams to get there but hey, that's why they play the game! I think Keep on Rollin has the lineup about right
1. Golden State 2. LAC 3. Mem 4. Portland 5. Hou (Home Court) 6. SAS 7. Dal 8. OKC I think we play the Rockets & I don't know if that's good or bad. Last year Howard dominated us, but it's hard to imagine he'll be able to play at that level after missing so much time. On the other hand, we'd have to contain Harden w/o Wes (ouch!) Yet and still, they won't have Beverly to check Dame. There's also the revenge factor from last season. It would be an interesting series for sure.
The thing is, the rockets are about as injury ridden as the Blazers are, and that would be nice to have in a first round match up.
