This was hard, problably won't get it right. So many close teams and teams that could go so good or so bad...

 

[Ron Mexico]

This is very hard to predict. GS could be a top seed or miss the playoffs. Minny and Phoenix are hard to guess. They could be okay or really suck. Phoenix is better but one injury or bad streak and that team quits for the year. No idea about Houston. I could see Denver dropping but they could also be a top seed. They excel in the regular season and had a great playoffs.

GS has the widest variance. I wonder if Steph and Dray still have their magic or if the surrounding cast is good enough. Wiseman being good would help a lot, but no summer league or preseason? I’m now leaning more towards them being in the play in tournament but being a lower seed. Green not starting the season healthy has to be concerning.

I also didn’t think of this when doing my projection. We generally beat up on poor teams... there are more poor teams in the east. This year the schedule has 30/72 games against the east so it is more diluted. May lead to us moving up ahead of the load managers... I might change is to the number 1 seed.
