THe Pacific division is packed with powerhouses. And they play each other so often, that the will dragging each other down. It will be a bloodbath. I think a good team in a week division has a good chance of getting the #1 seed. However, if they play any of the top Pacific teams, they will be gone in the semis.

Given the changes to the teams in the West, there is a definite adjustment period that will give the team that plays with the most chemistry the soonest a early advantage, this will be the team that can gain the momentum, hopefully it will be our new look Laker team! _________________ Hambuger!

I think there is need for load management yes, but we shoudnt come out blazing saddles balls to the wall anyways, sure we should fast break, and have fun. but playing the right way will win games, not some new experimental line up or taking a quarter off _________________ Hambuger!

I predict 49 regular season wins. It's not the most enthusiastic total that's for sure. Lebron's age, mileage and return from serious injury make for a basis for a sub-55 win total. I anticipate him missing time again, at least fifteen games and I figure we're going to see a player at least a full click or two reduced from the years he carried some pretty mediocre rosters in deep championship challenges - when he does come back.
I also anticipate a continuance of AD's patterns: missing time due to injury, producing an underwhelming win total, and ultimately not being a guy who can reliably carry a team on his back very often.
The rest of the team is pretty unimpressive, so it's an unimpressive projection.
So basically everything that can go wrong will go wrong? Each of those scenarios, taken alone, has a decent chance of coming true. But the chances of all of them happening at the same time are very low. 52-30.
No, on two counts.
First, there's plenty more than could go wrong, not just involving AD and LeBron.
Second, that those two things (1-Lebron's continued diminution due to mileage and injury, 2-AD's career injury pattern and performance pattern) are all highly likely to continue, rather than change. _________________ “These GOAT discussions are fun distractions while sitting around waiting for the pizza to be served.”
I added up the Career Averages for all the current line-up and it came out to 168 points!
So all we need for them to do is score 20% LESS than their averages and they should win every game...! (134 ppg)
LOL

6. Who will be the conference champions? The NBA champion?
East: Milwaukee Bucks 12, Philadelphia 76ers 8
West: LA Clippers 16, Denver Nuggets 2, Utah Jazz 1, Houston Rockets 1
NBA title: LA Clippers 13, Milwaukee Bucks 2, Philadelphia 76ers 2, Utah Jazz 1, Denver Nuggets 1, Houston Rockets 1
And while the Lakers came up as several people debated who their ultimate choice to win the conference would be, they were not among the four West teams picked by at least one person to reach the Finals -- let alone win the title.
