Right now there are clearly three teams which are on-pace for 60 wins in the West. Who of them makes it?

Don't know, but I hope L.A. and N.O. have fun battling over the scraps

Currently, as of right now, Im cautiously optomistic that the Spurs will hit 60 wins, I just dont know how long they can keep this up.

I definately dont think the Hornets can keep up their pace. I just cant picture a 60+ win Hornets team.

The only team that I would feel comfortable saying is a lock for 60 wins is the Lakers.

Actually, its only a matter of time before they get bit in the ass.... The whole team is shooting pretty lights out from outside. Live by the 3, die by the 3.

I think at one point in tonights game, both teams shot nothing but 3s for like a 3 minute stretch or something like that. At least, it felt that way. :lol

I can't take it no more. When Phyz starts acting gregarious it's time for old Cubby to hit the couch.

Chow!

I think the Spurs and the Hornets will have around 50-55 wins and the Lakers will get 60 I guess. There are also the Mavs who will have 65 wins and then choke in the first round.

I think Utah has a chance. Al Jefferson will eventually mesh into that offense better than Boozer ever did.

Lakers obviously.
Hornets no brainer.
Mavs with its veteran leadership.

Hollinger's playoff odds thus far tell the following story -

Boston projected = 57-25 (Best case scenario = 73-9) Champ % = 23.8
Lakers projected = 58-24 (Best case scenario = 73-9) Champ % = 21.3
Spurs projected = 59-23 (Best case scenario = 75-7) Champ % = 21.4

Hornets, despite being 11-2, (perhaps not surprisingly) have a projected 52-30 end of season record. Their probability of winning the championship is also markedly lower (at 4.9) than that of the Lakers, Celtics, and Spurs

Lakers, Celtics, and Spurs are the only teams in the league with a "best case scenario" win > 70.

Take it for what it's worth (i.e. not a whole lot given that so little data has poured in this early in the season).
