Las Vegas Sun

quote:

Cavaliers — 58.5

Thunder — 57.5

Spurs — 56.5

Bulls — 55.5

Clippers — 55.5

Warriors — 50.5

Rockets — 49.5

Mavericks — 49.5

Raptors — 49.5

Wizards — 49.5

Trailblazers — 48.5

Grizzlies — 48.5

Hornets — 45.5

Heat — 43.5

Suns — 42.5

Nets — 41.5

Pelicans — 41.5

Nuggets — 40.5

Hawks — 40.5

Knicks — 40.5

Pistons — 36.5

Pacers — 32.5

Lakers — 31.5

Kings — 30.5

Magic — 28.5

Celtics — 26.5

Timberwolves — 25.5

Jazz — 25.5

Bucks — 24.5

76ers — 15.5



Look at the list and make FIVE over/under guesses that you feel strongest about. I think the Pistons win more than 36.5, but I won't pick them for fear of being labeled a 'slappy.'

CAVS 58.5 - UNDER
Will have an adjustment period, and they might get off to a 'slow' start

GRIZZLIES 48.5 - OVER
Too many injuries last year. Team will win 50+

NUGGETS 40.5 - UNDER
WTF.

HAWKS 40.5 - OVER
Again, too many injuries last year. They were the 3rd or 4th best team in the East healthy.

LAKERS 31.5 - UNDER
WTF

Nets — 41.5 | UNDER
Lakers — 31.5 | UNDER
Heat — 43.5 | OVER

God that Grizzlies line is easy winnings in the most non-homer way. They won 50 games last year with guys like Marc Gasol & Tony Allen missing 20+, Pondexter missing 60+, and Conley missing around 10.

The roster is better and Joeger is in his 2nd season.

I agree with you. If nothing else, they underachieved during the regular season last year. 49+ should be a lock for them this year.

Yeah throw out the injuries and they still started off really slow.

Plus this guy is going to start living up to his potential and start dominating.



Love that under line on the Lakers as well.

Spurs- under (think they rest their stars a lot during the season)

Rockets- over (not a 5.5 game drop off from last year, and I think Morey makes another move)

Knicks- over (will put together a good amount of wins in the east)

Celtics- under (it will get ugly when Rondo gets traded)

76ers- over (won't be that bad, Noel will have a good year)

You have to think they will even more, but they keep defying age so who the fricks knows

OVER. Easy money. The Rockets won 45 games before Dwight and 54 last year. Team might suck in the playoffs, but they get 50 wins.

Under. Kobe is going to fall apart again. Of this I am sure.

I will pick 3 more later.

Meh, not so sure about this.

No Asik. No Lin. No Parsons. I see Hou in the 48-51-ish range.
