One thing to watch out for is that basically every year there is a young fringe playoff team that jumps in to the top 4 and an old contender that drops out. Houston and Denver fit that description most based off of previous years, but I have a hard time believing those things will happen. You could probably just count Memphis and LAC as those teams this year, even if it isn't exactly how the trend has gone.

I just dont believe in Houston until they consolidate some of their young pieces into another near all-star caliber player.

As @One Brow hasnt logged in since May, I decided to do a community service and take over this excercise just for this year. If the OG owner of this comes back in, I will happily hand this over.

Rules are the same as last year, apart from #6 which does not include a penalty.

1. Post your regular season final standings for all 15 teams in the Western Conference.
2. All predictions are frozen at 23:59 on 2024-OCT-21 (after the preseason, before the season). Any changes are okay before then. I will compile my list on OCT-22, the same day the regular season opens up.
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.
6. Order the teams with the following 3-letter abbreviations, without numbers, punctuation, etc..

DAL
DEN
GSW
HOU
LAC
LAL
MEM
MIN
NOP
OKC
PHX
POR
SAC
SAS
UTA

I expect the updates will come whenever @The Midnight has whined about the lack of them for long enough.

Really surprised at where you have the jazz after our discussion in the "are we not bad" thread. Thought the eye test in those pre season games would have swayed you to put the jazz much higher.

Are you looking at my list or the OP that just has a list of teams in alphabetic order?

I think we are gonna hang out at the play in bubble until Ainge makes some moves which drops us to 13th. My biggest worry is that our record wont be bad enough to beat East bottom 4 in lottery ball race.

Good catch. I was looking at the OP.
Where you have them makes more sense now.
