If you’re still reading at this point, you’re either very interested to learn what I expect to happen this NBA season, or you’re a very good friend. Either way, I’m glad to have you as a reader.
The chart below shows what I get when I analyze the teams in the West.
Using that as a starting point to predict playoff teams, I wind up with this:
1. Lakers
2. Nuggets
3. Spurs
4. Mavericks
5. Trailblazers
6. Hornets
7. Suns
8. OKC
