Standings on 03/06. No ties in the NBA standings. I believe we have definitive proof that no one on this forum knows a damn thing about NBA basketball.

I'll take this on. If people remind me, I'll update the third Saturday of the month.

Please use the following acronyms and format, so I can copy/ paste your information into my spreadsheet.

3 LAL
4 GS
5 LAC
6 DEN
7 DAL
8 MEM
9 POR
10 NO

12 SA

14 OKC
15 HOU



Same rules as last year.....

1. Post your regular season prediction for all 15 teams.

2. All predictions are frozen at the first regular-season game tip-off midnight 2021-OCT-26. Any changes are okay before then.

3. Your score is based on the net difference between your prediction and standings. For example, if you pick the Clippers to be first and they are in fourth, you receive 3 points for the Clippers. Low score wins.

4. Ranking is based on win% only.

5. Tied teams each receive an averaged score. For example, two teams tied for 5th/6th place are each scored as 5.5. Three teams tied for 10/11/12 are each scored as 11.

Edit: original list was too boring. One young team is going to make a jump and one vet team is going to disappoint. I also think PHX will even out their incredibly lucky year with some bad luck.

A typo… just admit you forgot we exist

It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa is criticizing Homer for advertising something as an angel and he says he’s done no such thing and she points out a huge banner that says angel and he says it’s a typo. Something like that. It’s been since the 90s that I last saw that.

 

[MT Steve]

I’ll enter my predictions later but this is some funny ****.

So they got 7 experts to make their predictions, one forgot the top seed from last season exists, two of them picked a WCF matchup that is literally impossible based on their seedings, and another one of them picked an ECF matchup that is impossible based on their seedings.

7 experts asked to do something as simple as predict the seedings and conference finals matchups, and less than 50% of them can even get past the basics. Yikes.

West is so tough... Don't feel great about any of that but wanted to be a little different. I can see Portland rebounding and having a great year... I think Minny will be much improved and might end up swiping Ben Simmons for peanuts.
