NBA Predictions and Bets 2017-2018

I am willing to bet me being made a mod that the Lakers will win it all.

Can the Timberwolves underperform if I already expect them to suck and not play any defense?

By rodeoclown Go To PostCan the Timberwolves underperform if I already expect them to suck and not play any defense?

if you think they will land significantly under their predicted wins, sure yeah.

Hidden hate and jealousy: The Thread.

Vegas has this for the West:

1. Golden State Warriors 67.5
2. Houston Rockets 55.5
3. San Antonio Spurs 54.4
4. Oklahoma City Thunder 51.5
5. Minnesota Timberwolves 48.5
6. Denver Nuggets 45.5
7. Los Angeles Clippers 43.5
8. Portland Trail Blazers 42.5
9. Utah Jazz 40.5
10. New Orleans Pelicans 39.5
11. Memphis Grizzlies 37.5
12. Dallas Mavericks 35.5
13. Los Angeles Lakers 33.5
14. Sacramento Kings 28.5
15. Phoenix Suns 28.5

I don't pretend to have a clue, but I think the bottom is closer than Vegas assumes. I don't think we're 5 games better than the Kings or the Suns. I would probably move Minny down and Portland up some. The 2,3 and 4 in the west are coin flips. You can stop after the top 3 in the east so like, who gives a shit lol.

Start of season snuck up on me.

West
1. Golden State
2. San Antonio
3. Oklahoma City
4. Houston
5. Denver
6. Minnesota
7. Portland
8. Memphis

Bottom of the West depends on the health of the Griz/Clips/Pelis. Rooting for the ex-Rockets to have a decent go.

East
1. Boston
2. Cleveland
3. Washington
4. Toronto
5. Milwaukee
6. Miami
7. Charlotte
8. Detroit

Time to redo all your predictions now that Gordon Hayward is dead for the season.
