Yea... I actually projected them to go 23-59 a few days ago, but chances are they'll pull off a few upsets simply due to their cohesion and effort and go over by a few games.
We'll see.
I'm lucky to even have a small shot. As you said the Davis injury + they're getting pretty unlucky to lose so many close games. If they were 12-23 but getting blown out nightly I'd feel better about my bet... but they're just getting unlucky in close games.
Their only dud in this 10 game losing streak was the 35 point home loss to the Raptors.

Hell CP3 can't get a bucket when he wants.
SEE Game 7 2008 WCSF , also known as "the Jannero Pargo tragedy" ... also known as "PARGOGATE" .. also known as "CP3 is a soft nut punching little bitch"

I remember when this would actually upset Hornets fans.

no way IMO
How do you figure? Unless Utah starts playing really well, around .500 should get in. Rockets really aren't very good(have benefitted from a VERY easy schedule) and Minnesota is only .500 and now Love is hurt.
To put it into perspective, Rockets were only 1 point favorite and Minnesota is 2 point underdog at the Hornets(although they are improving) this week.

Also, is nobody considering the Bulls if DRose gets healthy? Noah has improved a lot with Rose out.

Joel Anthony is a joke. How does he play

i think thunder could beat the heat
wade has taken a step back
4 best in that series go:
1. lbj
2. durant
3. westbrook
4. wade
lbj can guard durant better than durant can guard lebron and thats where it'll be won but i love when it comes down to the two best in the world
heat should win unless westbrook goes apeshit for 2-3 games

Rockets are a mortal lock for the playoffs unless they suffer significant injuries.

At getting technical fouls? Sure.

duh. durant is the second best player in the world and the gap to #3 is pretty significant

Depends on a lot of things. We don't even know how Rose will look when he comes back (supposedly he can play right now, but the team is being very cautious with him).
Depends on:
1) matchups - Can they avoid Miami in the 1st/2nd rounds?
2) Noah and Deng stay healthy playing 40+ a night (which might change once Rose comes back because they'll be winning more in all likelihood)
3) Boozer is the WC. Playing like in All-Star lately, but if he doesn't keep his play up, I doubt the team as constructed gets past the Knicks/Celtics/Heat.
I am a Bulls fan, but theres just too much unknown at this point. Honestly have no idea.

Dwyane Wade is easily a more productive player than Russell Westbrook. He's a vastly more efficient scorer. They rebound about the same. He's a better defender than Westbrook. The demise of Dwyane Wade has been overstated. I mean the guy is shooting a career high from the field.
He had a rough start to the season recovering from his knee surgery, but the past month+ he's mostly been fantastic.

Yes, the Booze Cruise has been playing well. The Bulls could still be dangerous. Still early. Plenty time left.

KG destroyed him last year. Miami has no legit center. Boshtrich? lol. We were better than the Heat at two positions last year the 1 and the 5(KG being there).
Miami's specialty is small ball. You beat them with bigs down low but you need two of them. So they can use the mismatch for 48 minutes. But not only do these bigs need to play D and rebound and possibly block shots when LBJ and wade dribble drive they need to be able to score some down low also. However, if your bigs slow down dribble drives you also need good perimeter defense or else Battier, Miller, Allen and to a lesser extent Chalmers will make you pay when it is kicked out. That is what makes beating them so tough.

Houston has benefitted from an easy schedule? Lol they have played the 5th toughest to date.
