    Twenty-five writers pick five different champions.

    Five pick the Spurs.

    Only five pick the Spurs as West Champs. So no one sees the Spurs losing in the Finals:

    The Rockets and Spurs split the Southwest Division picks (Rockets with slight 14-11 edge):

    Yeah, they posted this in another thread I think, but really,, is there anyone on that list we'd care about? These are espns second rate basketball analysts. It's also amazing that there are basically 4 even split choices..I can't think of any comparable seasons.

    I don't understand why people are picking the Thunder? What have they done of note lately?

    Last year, only one "expert" (Strauss) made the Warriors his preseason pick to win the le (he was also the only one to pick GSW to win the West). The Spurs were picked to win the Southwest by 27 of 28 experts (only David Thorpe disagreed, picking the Grizzlies).

    http://espn.go.com/nba/notebook/_/pa...on-predictions

    Ahead of the 2013-14 season, only two "experts" (JA Adande and Kevin Pelton) picked the Spurs in the preseason to win the le -- the same number picked the Pacers to win the le. And 14 of the 25 picked the Clippers to win the West. And the Rockets were picked to win the Southwest by 14 of the 25 experts as well.

    I'd pick the Warriors to win it all again. (Head says Warriors, heart says Spurs.)

    I don't understand why people are picking the Thunder? What have they done of note lately?
    Agree with you on that one.
