I'm just not sure about us winning the west. It's a possibility but I haven't checked the schedule. Phil will try his zen bullshit and let a few games slip plus Lakers will get cocky and let a few get away. As you have it I would love to play the Rockets without the Yao.

My predictions. Somebody will have to bump this thread when the seedings are finally set:

1) LA Lakers
2) San Antonio
3) Dallas
4) New Orleans
5) Utah *
6) Phoenix
7) Golden State
8) Houston

* In effect they'll be the fifth seed since they'll finish with a worse record than New Orleans

Lakers over Rockets in 5
Spurs over Warriors in 5
Mavs over Suns in 7
Jazz over Hornets in 6

Lakers over Jazz in 7
Spurs over Mavs in 7

Spurs over Lakers in 7

As for the Finals, either Spurs over Cavs in 6, Spurs over Celtics in 6 or Spurs over Pistons in 7.

Division winners are automatically given the top three spots. Why do most of you have teams in the same division in the top 3?

No, the top four seeds go to the three division winners and the non-division winner with the best record, ordered by best to worst W-L records. Take last year for example:

1) Dallas 2) Phoenix 3) San Antonio 4) Utah

And in effect Utah was the fifth seed because they didn't have HCA against Houston.

The Lakers had arguably the toughest schedule the first half of the season, they will face a lot of teams under .500 the rest of the way. They should be able to keep it going and win the West.

[Purple & Gold]

Lakers
Spurs
Mavs
Utah
NO
Suns
Houston
Golden St.



Denver might slip in and either Houston or Golden St. falls out. Utah will be 4 because they will be Division champs, but them and NO will fight for HC advantage which will determine the winner.

Best matchups will be with Mavs/Suns and Utah/NO. Mavs as winner in 6 and whoever wins HC between Utah/NO as the winner in 7. Lakers and Spurs with first round wins in easy 5 game series.

I like everything about that except if the Spurs were to play the Cavs it would be a sweep or in 5. And Spurs Celtics would go down to 7 IMO.

Lakers will have home court against the Spurs and it will be the difference.

:lol @ Denver at the 4. They will be lucky to make the playoffs.

They move up one spot in their division and they are 4 seed right now, with the current standings. Not that far fetched. Had to throw a surprise in there or it's too boring.

They changed it after 06 when the Spurs had to play the Mavs in the semis even though they had the best record, and the Mavs had the third best record.
