16-17 Western Conference Playoff Teams

[RipCityDSCPL]

Who will be the 8 teams that make the playoffs in the Western Conference?

I am just going to stick with the win totals I said in the 'Bold Predictions' thread and have no idea if these win totals are possible for each team because, you know, math. I am only concerned if the team and seed match.

So anyways...... Here are mine;

#1 seed: Golden State Warriors- 68 wins
#2 seed: Los Angeles Clippers- 64 wins
#3 seed: Portland Trail Blazers- 61 wins
#4 seed San Antonio Spurs- 58 wins
#5 seed Utah Jazz- 55 wins
#6 seed Oklahoma City Thunder- 54 wins
#7 seed Minnesota Timberwolves- 52 wins
#8 seed Memphis Grizzlies- 47 wins


What are yours?

That is a lot of wins by the top 6 teams. You must have the east and the west lottery teams with some very low win totals.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

The Rockets are only winning 35 games this season. Harden as point guard is going to be an unprecedented disaster. Dantoni is a horrible head coach and Houston is not going to the playoffs.

Dallas is not making it because this is the year Dirk starts to really show his age and they don't have enough to pick up on Nowitzski's fall in production.

How are we going to be first if Turner the Awful is getting a bunch of run for us?

Like I said in my OP, I am not sure if these win totals are possible and I didn't try to figure it out because you know, math. All I am concerned with if I get the team and the playoff seed correct.

 

[PDXFonz]

Warriors
Blazers
Clippers
Rockets
Spurs
Suns
Jazz
Thunder

Gonna be a tough race for those last spots.

Cuz we're trading him or benching him?

 

[KingSpeed]

I can't believe you guys are falling for the Jazz hype. They're not that good. I'm not sure they're even better than the Suns.

#6 Oklahoma City

#8 Memphis

How do you get away with this type of shit?
The experts in Vegas last year said we'd win 26 games, I said 23 and got shit on for the past 11 months. YOU ACTUALLY THINK WE WILL WIN MORE GAMES THAN THE FUCKING WARRIORS!!!???

The Jazz are much better than Houston, That's why.

Just a guess here, but I'm thinking you're gonna get shit about that prediction for at least another 11 months. I'm standing firm on my 60 for this year, so I could end up in the same boat.....

You really believe the roster we have right now can win 60 games? Do you understand how dominant your squad has to be to reach that mark?

What part of Trump is going to make the Blazers great again are you not understanding?

Yeah, I've followed ball for a few years now. Do you really think they'll only hit 33? Seriously? If so, I'll be closer. I wouldn't bet on it with you though....

Btw- Cool avatar. Seriously.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Seriously.

(I just had to say it one more time....)

In 2014, the Warriors were coming off a 6 seed season in which they were eliminated in the first round. They didn't make any significant changes to their roster. Did you pick them win 60+ and win the title the next season? There's such a thing as growth. Btw, do you still think we only have one NBA starter-caliber player?

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh and you thought Dame would play worse without Aldridge, lol.

This.

@HCP this is also why you caught shit for 11 months from everyone because you severely underestimated Dame as a leader and motivator for this team. Anyone with eyes could see that last years team was going to win more than 23 games.

 

[Rhal]

1. GS 63 wins
2. Spurs 55 wins
3 Blazers 50 wins
4 Clippers 50 wins
5 Memphis 48 wins
6 Utah 44 wins
7 Rockets 43 wins
8 Mavs 42 wins

I predicted 46 in the predictions thread for this season.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Yeah, I just noticed that. Given the Vegas line, I'd say that's a TON closer. Me being a homer, I may lose, but I will still say I will be closer. Tie between us is 53. I'll bet a beer on that with you. Problem is that if you win, then you have to try to enjoy that beer, with a rookie. Sucks to be you.... Lol
