Phoenix top of the West? The Clippers second??

Man....some of the worst basketball takes I've seen in a long time.
I sincerely hope you're not a sports gambler.

Haven't seen your genius predictions.

How is Phx top of the West such a bad prediction?
Rap / Nets under/over for the year is one game different.

 

[fidstar]

Also I can't see Wemby only averaging 2 blocks per game (as long as Pop doesn't "manage" his minutes to 20 minutes per game).

 

[Slysh]

OKC behind Minnesota, Memphis and Dallas??
Toronto above Brooklyn??
Phoenix top of the West? The Clippers second??

Man....some of the worst basketball takes I've seen in a long time.
I sincerely hope you're not a sports gambler.

Literally none of them are horrendous predictions but sure go off king
