Thoughts:
Cleveland wins 60 games, not 67.
Thus, they get the 3 seed instead of the 1, which causes Orlando to play them in the 2nd round, while Atlanta faces Boston. Orlando and Boston in the ECF. Tossup.
Nuggets and Blazers should be a tight race for the northwest, i agree.
Damn, I also agree that San Antonio wins the west. Richard Jefferson should be a huge addition.
I’d say Lebron wins MVP, everyone rides him.
There’s absolutely no way anyone challeges Dwight for DPOY.
Bold prediction: Stephen Curry beats out Griffin for ROY
Another bold one: Houston beats Utah and Phoenix and takes the 7 seed, even with their seemingly poor team on paper.
