You have Spurs in there twice? I assume the second one is the Kings?

These are win total lines right?

Yep. My bad.

And yes, that is actual, new posted season totals as of this morning.

The Heat is 60.5 in the East, but that can be a separate thread.

No way the Lakers get 35 wins. With Kobe out and Gasol/Nash a year older, no Artest, no Earl Clark. You boys are kaput. Word.

 

[lakersrule]

I noticed you capitalized the LAKERS, but none of the other teams. Can you say obsessed?

And of course Crotch, another one obsessed with all things Lakers, comments on the Lakers. Artest? Clark? Really? Boston won't be seeing 35 wins for awhile with that garbage lineup.

 

[lakersrule]

Seems to be some low numbers on there that could be good bets. I think both the Thunder and Warriors easily exceed their predictions.

The 2013 #1 and #2 seeds are laughing at these Clipper and Rockets fans....

I see no reason to believe that SA and/or OKC is going to fall off the map.

LOL that didn't get by YOU either, huh...?

yep, 35 would be 10 more games than the Celtics will win even in a WEAKER conference...

agreed. in fact i'd probably lean towards the Spurs getting back to the finals and representing the west again. i'll admit i AM interested in seeing how far Kahwi Leonard has progressed from last season...

It's not an obsession.
It was just proving a point.
Some Laker fans have been outraged over some predictions I have made.
Some Lakers fans were predicting a possible 5-6 seed.
Some Laker fans felt they should be ranked above the Rockets.

Who knows what will eventually happen?
What the numbers do though, is justify everything that was said.

 

[Crotchrocker]

Boston will easily have more wins than the Lakers. Word.

and then you woke up and APOLOGIZED...

No reason to think they won't be the top 4 seeds.

Health will probably determine the order.

For reference. Boston is projected to win 28 in the East.
Clearly the Lakers are viewed as the better team of the 2.

 

[lakersrule]

It's not an obsession.

Your obsession is clear.

 

[Black Adam]

Your obsession is clear.

only VERY...

I do not think it is a stretch to think they can not be a 1 or 2 seed. SA and OKC are not going anywhere but as Turnup mentions health plays a big role and the way I see it OKC is starting from a disadvantage and Duncan is another year older.

No reason to think they won't be the top 4 seeds.

Health will probably determine the order.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

LOL at Boston and Laker fans fighting over who will be more irrelevant. Could you imagine that in the 80s?

Haven't you heard CL? Stevens, Rondo and Sullinger are going to lead the Celtics to the championship this year!! They will "shock the world"!!

Crotch's annual thread stating exactly this, will be up just about any day now!!
