1. Spurs
2. Timberwolves
3. Kings
4. Lakers
5. Rockets
6. Nuggets
7. Mavericks
8. Suns
I dunno the suns could be a force this season, with nash running the point Qrich and Marion on the wings not to mention and Amare inside (I dont reall like his game) they will be an amazing fast break team. With a little consistency and a team concept they look good. They also got Joe Johnson coming off the bench. IMO a fairly good looking team. I mean if they had a decent centre...
Anyway onto the predictions.
1. Spurs
2. Timberwolves
3. Lakers
4. Houston
5. Dallas
6. Sactown
7. Memphis
8. Suns
^^ Although Denver could easily fill some of those spots.

It should be an interesting year. I'm thinking the Spurs and Wolves will probably be locks to win their divisions, but I think the 3 through 8 seeds are up for grabs. The Pacific division might be crowned to a team with less than 50 wins, and I'd predict at least three teams in that division will still be in the division race in April.
San Antonio and Houston might have the best two records in the league this year, and Minnesota, if they stay healthy, will be close behind. Portland will probably play better than people think and will have an outside shot at the playoffs.
It should be fun. :spam
Bump
Interesting how this is turning out quite a bit different than predicted before the season started. I think only 4 or 5 of us predicted that Phoenix would make the playoffs. Jim had them as a 3 seed before the season started.
The man is a witch. His gut must be full of SPAM!![]()
Wow, I'd have to say that Phoenix is without a doubt, definitely the big surprise of the season.
Wow! Thanks for bumping this back into circulation. Who'd have thought Seattle and Pheonix would explode and Minneapolis and LA would implode to the extent that they have?
If I can go back in time and swap Phoenix and LA in the Pacific and Seattle and Minnesota in the Northwest Division, then my seedings look pretty good.
NO ONE predicted Seattle would make the playoffs. No one. And they're likely the 3 seed.
Unbelievable.
ing crazy just reading some of these predictions...and then seeing what is happening right now.

I am also the only one that had the Lakers missing the playoffs.![]()
I am the only one that knew Shaq was the Lakers, not Kobe. Put Shaq on any team, they are in playoffs at worst, division winners at best, take him off, they are lottery bound.
But Ed, I did miss Seattle and Minn and Houston and Utah, by flip flopping their fortunes, so witch? No, soothsayer, maybe.![]()
Kevin Kaster said that Chris Webber will grow a penis before Phoenix win the Pacific. I wonder if he has checked that out to see if he was right![]()
Could the recent decline in form be attributed to "growing pains"?![]()

There were other of these prediction threads besides this one!
Yes, I know, but I can not find it. I had Houston in the playoffs in that one and not Utah. That one was right before the playoffs started and not in Sept like this one.
God, the Grizzlies in the first round again???
then the winner of Mavericks Rockets???
Spurs Rockets second round
then western finals
Spurs Suns
interesting.
could go 6.
