2018-2019 Western Conference Predictions

[Keefe]

I can’t get my hopes that high.

We’ll be the 5th seed. Feels like we are every meaningful playoff season. I’m convinced of it.

Like I said.

 

[Keefe]

Pretty exciting to see two game improvement in a tougher West despite:

1. Mitchell being shaky for two months
2. Rubio being meh and inconsistent
3. Rxum doing his annual thang

 

[Keefe]

Bev and Caruso and we hit on a long 3/4 combo in the draft and we hit 60 wins in two seasons.

 

[JimLes]

I can't believe someone who knows Jim Les is can be so dumb or is it that you have LeBron and that's why? If you don't think LeBron is making playoffs you need to never comment on bball again. By all means watch it, but don't disrespect it

Just wanted to bump this.

Back before he got banned as ncoloradojazz, I was going to make a thread with all his predictions and periodically bump it. I never did, but then he resurfaced with this new name that clearly knows a lot about “bball.”

My biggest mistake was overrating Pelicans and underrating Denver. Otherwise I was pretty close.

you missed the win by 1 point. Nice work, dude.

Same here. In my naivety, I thought Davis wasn't a piece of garbage as a human being. I really thought he'd be a Pelican for life.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I didnt get that many right. I was wrong about Sacramento. I thought Minnesota would be a playoff team, but the wheels fell off with Jimmy Butler and Thibideau moving on. I didnt think Memphis would tank. The Pels collapsing was a shocker.

The Jazz would have been 4th with the Blazers 5th if Denver didnt pull their maneuver.

Eh, for two Calgarians to share the bronze is pretty decent. Will drink to that during Jazz-Rockets game.

Yeah that disappointed me way more than I thought it would. I always thought he was a solid citizen and teammate. He did them pretty damn ******. Worse than Hayward did realistically.

You got the last three of those right [name changes, though], but ncoloradojazz is none of them.

I'm not sure you can push me off of this conclusion. But, tell me, have you learned something from your moderator access? What tools are you using to convince yourself that Hack isn't ncoloradojazz?

Not speaking as a mod. Hack has been around for years, as has ncolorado. Very different posters.

 

[stormkoopacv03]

For the Jazz vs Rockets, it could go either way 4-2 series. That's my prediction. For the others, Idc.

 

[colton]

1. Golden State
2. Utah
3. Houston
4. Portland
5. New Orleans
6. San Antonio
7. Denver
8. Oklahoma City
9. Lakers
10. Clippers
11. Memphis
12. Minnesota
13. Dallas
14. Phoenix
15. Sacramento

Feeling happy about finishing 6th. Got 7 of 8 playoff game, missed on the Clippers. Seriously overestimated New Orleans and seriously underestimated Sacramento, those were probably my downfall. Got the Lakers correctly missing the playoffs, though, which makes me very happy.

Hack/computer/gas/NCPwhatever is a more honest representation of who that twit is. That's a day-to-day, post-on-the-fly account.
ncoloradojazz was more performance and straight-out trolling.

I'm over 90% sure they're authored by the same dude.

The fact that two accounts run concurrently isn't evidence that they are different people, obviously. And they aren't so different.

Hack has been accused of being a number of people. Back 8-9 years ago when he went by BluesRocker, he was accused of being vinyljunkie/vinylone. I’m assuming it’s because of being a volume poster at the time and it was during one of viny’s many random year+ hiatuses (hiatii?). Some personalities can’t be hidden. I think Hack’s motivations may appear elusive to some, and he gets mistaken for being some other dudes. But I could match your 90% with 100% that they’re different. But, in any case, I digress as my focus is more on ncoloradojazz’s awful takes.
