2010-2011 Western Conferenced Prediction Game

[crandc]

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

The 2010-2011 Western Conferenece Prediction Game!

Here's how it works.

You list the 8 Western Conference playoff teams in ranked order by record (not seed). It is not necessary to predict actual record or motivate you picks. Just list 1-8.

Entries are transferred to a spreadsheet and saved. After the final regular season game, scores are tabulated and a winner announced.

There IS a prize!

Rules:
Entries must be posted by midnight, the eve of the first regular season NBA game.
Only one entry per poster.
Once an entry is submitted, it cannot be revised. So if you think the Lakers are going to finish #1, and Kobe Bryant breaks both legs and is out for the season, you can't change your vote.

Let the prediction game begin!

I just don't feel right putting PHX in the playoffs with Greedo starting at their PF spot.

The sad part about this game is that I'm not going to post mine until about 3 weeks from now, yet yuyuza's prediction today will probably be closer than mine.

Check the Suns roster again. No Amare, means no pick and roll option for Nash.

Learn the game, then post.

 

[KingSpeed]

Learn the game, then post.

Suns are still loaded and Turkoglu fits their system perfectly. Amare is gonna miss Nash more than Nash is going to miss Amare.

Learn the game indeed.

 

[KingSpeed]

BTW Mick- Nash got the Suns to the WCF in 2006 without Amare. This Suns team is deeper than that one. Do not underestimate the two time MVP.

Learn the game. Learn the facts. Learn the history. Then post.

That was a year when the West was extremely weak. That Suns team had an undersized Shawn Marion playing the 4, playing superstar level ball.

C'mon man, the Suns are going to rely on Hakim Warrick and the shittier Lopez twin to man the middle?

lol, dude seriously, learn the game before you peck with those stanky fingers.

Learn the game indeed.

Thats the same thing people said when he signed with Toronto.

[BoomChakaLaka]

1. DAL (Team is talk of the League)
2. LAL (Kobe will miss some games this year)
3. DEN (guessing Melo stays)
4. SAS (Duncan knee holds up...and Pops is Pops)
5. POR (No Oden - Pryz back in January - Roy stays healthy and Matthews is a +)
6. HOU (Yao contributes)
7. PHO (Nash is Nash)
8. UTA (Sloan is Sloan)

Outside looking in = SAC
