Western conference regular season prediction contest

Thanks to [MENTION=300]silesian[/MENTION] for making this.
I did not expect OKC to rank this well. In fact I thought a Durantless OKC would be out of the playoffs. Strangely they're #6 with a point differential of +0.9, they won so many close games. So I'm -6 on them as of now.

Also HOU exceeded my expectation giving me -3.
I'm still not sure if OKC and HOU can proceed to the 2nd round in the playoffs though.

Quite confident in the top 6 and bottom 4-- the middle is a wreck tho.

Funny how this is a total wreck and I'm still tied for third.

In hindsight i'm most disappointed with having the Blazers over the Rockets, and the Wolves ahead of the Nuggets. I'm fairly okay with how I guessed everything else though.

Up to this point, we pick - on average - the Thunder to be either the sixth or seventh team. I find it amusing, since I think Westbrook is not only a ballhog, but also as dumb as they come. He is someone who, despite being mistake-prone, refuses to be anything but a very high usage player - even while playing with the best scorer in the game. On defense he has lapses often. He is very athletic, of course, and has become a decent shooter but otherwise is a disaster.

We may see him averaging over 30 points per game, but it would come with him shooting bellow 40% from the field, while making more than 4 turnovers per game, perhaps even 5.

oof
 
after a quick browse, it seems clear that JFC whiffed on the Rockets, Blazers, and Wolves more than the other teams. Especially the Rockets. There were dummies who had them as low as 10.

Yes, @northcarolinajazz never disappoints in his ability to amuse. Despite having the advantage of making a prediction a few weeks after the season started, his score is 30, placing him ahead of only 7 other jazzfanz. At least you are better than the bottom 14%. His lack of awareness of basketball ignorance is surpassed only by his douchbaggery.

looks like MDAV has this locked up. Congrats, holmes.

Pretty close to a lock, not quite.

If you switch LAL-PHX and OKC-LAC, then Nate505 wins

If you change NO-DAL-MIN to DAL-MIN-NO, then HGB & MDAV tie.

If you change DEN-NO-DAL to NO-DAL-DEN (pretty unlikely), then HGB, Nate505, CrawInst and MDAV tie.
