The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[thunderc]

5 games left for everyone, it's time to do some projections. Someone else can mess with the boring Eastern conference, I'll try the west.

Here are my final projected standings based on the remaining schedule:

1. Denver 58-24 (5-0) Hawks, Jazz, TWolves, @Spurs, @ Grizz
2. Minny 56-26 (3-2) @Lakers, Bullets, @Denver, Hawks, Suns
3. OKC 55-27 (3-2) @Hornets, Kings, Spurs, Bucks, Mavs
4. Clippers 53-29 (4-1) Cavs, @Suns, Suns, Jazz, Rockets
5. Dallas 51-31 (4-1) Rockets, @Hornets, @Heat, Pistons, @OKC
6. Phoenix 49-33 (3-2) Pelicans, Clippers, @Clippers, @Kings, @Twolves
7. Lakers 47-25 (3-2) Cavs, TWolves, Warriors, @Grizzlies, @Pelicans
8. Warriors 46-36 (4-1) Jazz, @Lakers, @Portland, Pelicans, Jazz
8. Pelicans 46-36 (1-4) @Suns, @Portland, @Kings, @Warriors, Lakers
8. Kings 46-36 (2-3) @Nets, @OKC, Pelicans, Suns, Portland

I don't know how the tiebreaker will sort out for the 8-10 seeds. Obviously it won't go just like this but I think I am pretty close on each teams remaining wins and losses.

Watching that Sixers game it felt like they needed another guy on offense. Duncan Robinson didn’t get a lot of shots up. Felt like it was Jimmy Terry and Bam.

2) Milwaukee (50-32) VS NYK, VS BOS, VS ORL, AT OKC, AT ORL
3) New York (49-33) AT MIL, AT CHI, AT BOS, VS BKLYN, VS CHI
4) Cleveland (49-33) AT LAL, AT LAC, VS MEM, VS IND, VS CHA
5) Orlando ( 48-34) VS CHI, AT HOU, AT MIL, AT PHI, VS MIL
6) Miami ( 47-35) AT IND, AT ATL, VS DAL, VS TOR, VS TOR
7) PHI ( 47-35) AT MEM, AT SAS, VS DET, VS ORL, VS BKLYN
8) Indiana ( 46-36) VS MIA, AT TOR, AT CLE, VS ATL

We would be better at this than the mvp voters, guaranteed.

So all the Sixers really need is a 3-2 Miami finish and a 2-2 Pacers finish to get into 6.

I think you fucked up here though on Orlando. You have both Orlando and Philly winning that game.

Not going to make predictions for all the teams but I think the Lakers will be the 7th or 8th seed, which i'm pretty okay with.

I'd rather face Minny or OKC in the first round rather than the Nuggets.

Yeah for some reason i bolded the games I think Orlando would lose

Pacers vs cHeat tomorrow... Whoever wins has the inside track at #6.

Dude, what the fuck?!?!?!

 

[thunderc]

Dude, what the fuck?!?!?!

Yup, and it wouldn’t affect her WNBA status. I can’t imagine she would do it.

 

[bksballer89]

fun start in LA

 

[Mecca]

Yup, and it wouldn’t affect her WNBA status. I can’t imagine she would do it.

I wouldn’t give a fuck how badly I got outplayed.

I’m taking that 5 mil.

Can’t imagine how bad that’s going to go over with her WNBA peers.

I wouldn’t care.

That’s more than she would make in 10 years playing in the W.

Ice Cube must have some serious sponsor dollars lined up.

My only fear is that she gets hurt by some salty Dude that wants to make an example out of her.

Would the WNBA allow her or does she need to sit out the season?

 

[Mecca]

I don’t see why not.

WNBA players make the bulk of their money overseas.

There have been several instances where a player reports after the Season has started because their team is still playing playoff games.

Here’s what I found on the topic.

Don’t know how accurate it is.




We’re told Clark would also get “substantial additional compensation” generated from merchandising and sponsorship revenue. What’s even more important is that Big3 would still allow Clark to play in the WNBA, and there would only be two games in scheduling conflict, so that looks like a win all around if she accepts Cube’s deal.

Yeah those guys can’t make much money either, someone might get jealous.

 

[fightinfunbags]

That’s a good question. The WNBA may want to keep her out of a situation where she is getting lit up by men. She’s not a good defender in the girls game.

With that kind of money she could just play in the big 3 and overseas.
