ready for the meltdown when Thunder skull us by 25 on Wed and 82-0 is no more?
..i will have take a couple of wins off Memphis toital..I think that team has plateaued with its current core and they have done nothing significant in the offseason to shake it up some...

Being generous with the East
Another 1st round match up with the clippers!?
Actually sounds good to me, I would love to see the spurs completely destroy them with revenge in mind.
I don't think the Cavs will win that many games. I think more like 56/57. Lebron wants to coast and their defense is gonna suffer in the beginning(no Shumpert). If Kyrie is out until Christmas they won't comfortably beat any of the better east teams. Lebron is still Lebron but If he commits to rest early on I'm confident they'll struggle. Ultimately, they should still be the #1 seed in the east and that's all that matters for them.
I don't have as much faith in the clippers as you do. They down graded at small forward( seriously, Wes johnson is baaaaaaad). If they start Pierce he won't be fresh for the playoffs which is where he would be most useful. Lance should not start for them because unless you give him the ball and he runs the offence(which he can do decently) he will be a disaster; He MUST come off the bench, especially will Paul being the most efficient facilitator in the game. They have more options for SF but nobody you can rely on. They will be a good in the playoffs but not the regular season. I'd put them 5th in the west.
For me, the thunder will either be in the bottom 2 at most (if not healthy) or top three. Either Durant is MVP Durant or he's missing at least half the season. I'd put them second in the west.
Only thing that is a lock is that Cavs will win >60 without a sweat, and Rockets will be the #1 seed this year, tbh
You're leaving off Miami in the East?
And by a lock, you mean that neither is going to happen?
the Pelicans latest injury bug may compromise my 50 win prediction..if AD joins the list, that team may get submerged and some doormat could make a run at 8th seed
I can't even begin to guess what people will finish at but there will be a few teams in the West pushing 60 by a game or two.
