First day of the season conference predictions

First day, and I'm ready for some basketball. Going to be a good one b/c i honestly think there aren't two clear cut choices to be in the Finals like most years have been.
You could easily name 8 teams that have a legit shot at making the finals this year.

Western Conference:

1. Nuggets
2. Suns
3. Warriors
4. Clippers
5. Grizzlies
6. Pelicans
7. Mavs
8. Blazers
9. Wolves
10. Lakers
11. Kings
12. Spurs
13. Jazz
14. Rockets
15. Thunder

Eastern Conference:

1. Bucks
2. 76ers
3. Celtics
4. Hawks
5. Nets
6. Raptors
7. Cavs
8. Heat
9. Bulls
10. Wizards
11. Knicks
12. Hornets
13. Pistons
14. Magic
15. Pacers



I think this is the deepest the Eastern Conference has been this century.
Injuries are obviously going to play a big role as always, but you could easily see 50+ wins from 10+ teams this year. An average year has 6 or 7 50+ win teams. I think the seedings are going to be very close throughout the year. You miss your top 1 or 2 player for 10-20 games and you could fall 5 spots easily in either conference. I think there's going to be a lot of good teams (46-53 wins) with 2 maybe 3 really good ones (54+ wins) that don't have any major injury issues, and then you're going to see a bunch of really bad teams(<32 wins). That middle ground (35-41 win teams) doesn't include a whole lot of teams like it has in the past. I think you could easily say who i have 1 through 10 for the west are all teams that can win a playoff series, and same could be said for 1-8 for the east.


Finals:
Clippers over the Bucks
