2009-2010 Western Conference Prediction Game

[crandc]

Gaze into your crystal ball, study your tea leaves, and prepare to play...

2009-2010 Western Conference Prediction Game!

For those who have not played before, here is how it works.

You list the 8 Western Conference playoff teams in ranked order by record (not seed). It is not necessary to motivate your choices. I keep the predictions in a spreadsheet and, as soon as the last regular season NBA game is played, tabulate and announce a winner.

There IS a prize!

Entries must be posted by midnight, the night before the first regular season NBA game. Entries may not be revised once posted.

Contest is solely the enterprise of the initiator and has no ties to the Blazers, the NBA, or any internet forum.

DaRizzle is defending champion. So far there has been no repeat Western Conference Prediction Game winner. Will this be the year?

I know this is going to bite me in the ass, because I'm sure there will probably be some massive training camp injury that shakes this whole thing up, but what the hell; strike while the iron is hot.

Am I the only one that thinks the Lakers are going to have an off season with injuries and internal bickering? The Blazers, if they meet LA in the playoffs, WILL have home-court advantage

Yes, it appears that you are...

I agree with Chris. But I can't play my own prediction game, what do I do, give myself the prize?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I think you should play.

You can always give the prise to the 2nd place person . . . or top ten . . . or cookies for everyone who participates . . .
