The 2023-2024 NBA Season

I got a feeling Mitchell is going to make that choice for them at some point.

Thunder still just 1 game out of the 1 seed, and 3 games ahead of the 4 seed Clippers.

Looks like the top 3 in the West will come down to the last game

It could, but I think Denver could win out if they want to.

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.

It never goes exactly to plan but like the detailed effort, and love seeing the Ws end up 8th lol

You still want him gone I presume?

Why do you think Dallas beats OKC in OKC last game?

Obviously not now haha. That’s an off season move.

OKC may have nothing to play for but Dal situation will be too tight.

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

The problem with these (yours and thunder's projections) is there's always weird games where the team that 'should' win doesn't. Probably will be pretty close to this but you basically have every 'better' team winning every game.

Yeah I meant offseason, bks said he wants Herro moved then

 

[msgkings322]

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

Women jealous of other women? That would never happen.

 

[thunderc]

Why do you think Dallas beats OKC in OKC last game?

Honestly I was 50/50, but I had already picked the Thunder to win 3 and I know they aren’t going to win 4.

 

[thunderc]

I meant the big 3 men being jealous of her making that kind of money. I doubt she takes the deal.

 

[msgkings322]

OKC may have nothing to play for but Dal situation will be too tight.

Sure maybe but with how close the top 3 in the West are it feels like most games will matter until the end. Who knows?

Man you just have no faith in your team

If the Thunder hadn’t lost 3 straight for the first time all year it looks different. But as I have said I think the Thunder are getting healthy while also keeping some options open.

Perhaps I should have said that they don’t need to kill themselves at this point. Just stay in 3 or better and it’s all good.

I bet the only stuff that could change his mind would have to come in the playoffs.

Scared of the Warriors, smart

Yes. Good player but too soft for my liking
