    IDK about the Hawks winning 50+ games, maybe if Marvin Williams lives up to his potential.

    So Orlando is the best team in the East after they acquired the most overrated player in the NBA?

    I'd be pretty satisfied with 33 wins from the Nets - hopefully Courtney Lee can mesh well with Harris - Devin tends to take things in his own hands too much when the #2 misses early shots.

    I bet you had a hard time projecting the Wizards - they seem really difficult to figure.

    Agree. I'm thinking Hawks will go 45-37 at best...no way 50+ wins

    love D Williams, but you have the Jazz wayyyyy too high here.

    and I agree with the Magic, they are gonna be just plain nasty.

    I can't believe you like the Warriors so much. They're gonna score a ton of points and they'll be fun to watch but I can't see them winning many games.

    Spurs over 54.5 wins seems like free money unless Duncan misses 50 games. I already made a bet on Spurs +900 to win the title.

    Homer prediction: Pacers win 48 games and land what you may call a winnable series on the road.
    Reality: Boston barring injury will come out of the East. Healthy KG and rested Pierce I believe is the best all round team in the NBA. If injuries setback BOS (which is very likely), I like CLE to get to Finals.

    If SA is healthy I believe they'll beat LAL. If Tony Parker has this sort of talent around him he'll eat LA for breakfast. Outside of that being the case, I believe LAL will get to Finals and lose to either CLE or BOS.

    If Ginobili Duncan and Parker stay healthy I think Spurs will top the lakers.... especially with the new selfless but talented vets they acquired in the off-season. If it is Spurs - Cavs I think the Spurs team defense will be too much. Pop too smart .... T.D still ballin, T.P too quick, Ginobili has the best winning record of any player in NBA history, RJ has the worst Tattoo in the NBA, and Mcdyess deserves a ring.

    Ship it to the Spurs.

    Oh and I believe this will be the Spurs last ring all said and done. However I do believe theyre at the highest risk of key injuries. Duncan owns Gasol and I think that matters most. Same with KG, Gasol doesnt play him well. Thats why Id like BOS against LA.

    Am I crazy for thinking that the Clips will be contenders for the last spot in the West and will probably win more games than Phoenix?

    Or for thinking that that Lakers under 62 bet is horrible?

    Or for thinking you have ATL like 8 wins too high? And the Raps way too low.

    I can't wait til May though. The league is absurdly top-heavy like the NFL this year, so there should be some sick playoff series.

     Celts won 62 last year with Garnett missing some late season games, they won 66 two years ago.  They added Rasheed Wallace and you think they will win less than 57.5 games?  I know Im a Boston homer, but Ill be putting money on over that number.

    first, sheed was old and terrible last year.

    second, KG is getting really old.

    third, the magic and cavs both improved more than the celtics did.

    Agreed on pretty much all of this.... Raps can sneak up for sure... Turk is a balller and the rest of there international players + sad sack can do some serious damage.

    I think the only way magic improved is by getting Neilson back.... I think re signing turk would of been the better option than Vince. But if i am wrong i will be WAY wrong and they will just click and gel perfectly.
