Eh, you all make no exciting, bold predictions. Who cares if it's wrong, I predict what I want to see!

West:

1. Thunder
2. Spurs
3. Lakers
4. Nuggets
5. Grizzlies
6. Mavs

East:

8. Raptors

Bucks, Hawks, Wiz could all get in, who knows. But watching the Raptors in the playoffs is more entertaining. Kyle Lowry on the big stage, finally.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I see mostly we all agree with which teams are going to make the playoffs. Also like Daddy's Raptors pick.

And I might still edit my votes to take the Lakers completely out of the playoffs. If enough people believe it, maybe it would come true. I would die happy if they missed the playoffs.

Most projections I've seen have us 6-8. I'd be real giddy about that. Or we could just continue our trend of not making the playoffs.
