Although I worked through the numbers sometime last week, I'm a little late getting up my predictions for the upcoming NBA season. Without further ado...
Western Conference (614 - 616)
That's right, I am predicting that the Western Conference will actually have a losing record for the season.

Houston?
I noticed your league has a bit more parity than a lot of predictions - no 60-win teams, only a few below 30. Let's revisit this at year's-end.
I like Houston -- if they stay healthy I believe they are as good as any team in the West.
I'll label this under the Cavs, injuries are tough to account for but we'll definitely revisit it and slam my optimism!
The Finals is pretty much set imho!! LAKERS / CELTS.. here are my reasons. http://jib-sports-culture.blogspot.com/
