No surprises here, the top 4 on this list will be in the conference finals
I think the Mavs are much better than their margin of victory indicates.
Also, the Spurs are not as good as their margin of victory indicates... bottom line is they have a lousy record against the better teams.
Most likely.
These standings are clearly flawed. yes, they include point differential, but clearly when you adjust these standings, you'll see that a win isn't a win. In some cases, a win is a loss. I deduced that after you factor in travel time (including the comfort rating assigned to the seats on the plane), stadium air quality, origami skills, general flatulence, on-court stagnation when facing an opponent whose off-court left hand efficiency rating is less than 4.6893875745, and their free throw attempts to gatorade ratio, these are the true ratings:
1. Utah 9.938757483833282
2. Milwaukee 9.918273745758483
3. Los Angeles 2.194875748
4. Cleveland 2.0489839394
5. Orlando 1.9838458959
6. Miami 1.947646363
7. Portland 1.8884574743783734
8. Charlotte 1.821374745
9. Denver 1.7846474784
10. Atlanta 1.77484859934783
11. San Antonio 1.7173289489
12. Memphis 1.697848347845
13. Boston 1.618284993783
14. OKC 1.5586945
15. Houston 1.48273747473
16. Phoenix 1.1948573473
17. Dallas -6.8586969473
After we bukkake the Nuggets on the 29th, we will have secured the 2nd seed and the home court will allow us to take them down in the WCSF![]()
The fact that you wasted this much time tells me that Hollinger is doing a great job getting ppl to read his & probably making good money doing it.
Dallas should get the 2 seed IMO..Denver has a pretty damn hard schedule to finish the season & Dallas has a pretty easy one..It all comes down to Kenyon Martin..If he's healthy I think they can beat Dallas without HCA. If he's out then Dallas can beat them.
It all comes down to HCA for me. If Denver has it, the Mavs have a very little chance to beat them, and vice-versa.

that game might not be for though
Duly edited
Yeah, based on the remaining scheds (Dallas has it easier), that game against the Nuggz at the AAC is gonna be for the 2 seed.
nicely done.![]()
i think this game is going to mean a ton for both sides.
Call me crazy but for some reason I think the Oklahoma City Thunder can beat the Lakers in a series...
I actually agree with this. They have a pretty low PD and most of the time that would indicate non-contender... but especially post-trade that is looking more and more flukish. The fluky blowout loss against the Knicks really screwed with it. Couple that with a bunch of close wins in the streak and the numbers say they're just a good team but nothing special. But I'm not buying that.
I'm still trying to decide if Denver or Dallas is more dangerous to LA.
You're crazy...that's the one team the Lakers would sweep in the first roundMost of the other series look good but this OKC one would be an easy out for the Lakers.
Lakers have been very good (surprisingly) this year at beating teams they're supposed to beat
Collison is the only guy on that team with playoff experience, they have a losing record against teams with winning records and they'd be without HCA. They wouldn't beat the Lakers.
They are like the 2001 Mavericks or 2009 Blazers - young team on the ascent. They will need a favorable matchup to advance. The best matchup for them is probably either the Jazz or the Spurs, and I don't see how they can face San Antonio.
It is possible, I suppose... that's why the play the games after all.
But I think the more likely outcome would be LA destroying OKC. Westbrook would cause problems but other than that the Lakers have answers for the Thunder threats (yes, that includes Durant) while OKC has no answers for Gasol, Bynum, and even Odom.
Throw in HCA for LA and almost zero postseason experience on OKC's roster... I think it would get ugly quick.
I don't see that. Westbrook would probably go off, but Pau and Bynum are too much for OKC to stop.
An upset I could see happening is Phoenix over Denver. PHO matches up well with the Thuggs. I'm hoping they see each other in the first round.
Because of the raucous crowds in Hijacker City, the Zombie Sonics shouldn't get swept by whomever they play, but I would take the Lakers in 5 against Durant and Co.
