NBA Predictions With One Week Away From Tip Off
One more week until the next season of NBA basketball starts. I usually try to predict the final standings before the season begins and see how close I am when the year is over. Sports broadcasters do it, and most of the time their wrong, so we will see how my picks stack up. I will also post new predictions around the halfway point somewhere around Allstar break, since many new trades and injuries will have happened.
I am breaking this down by conference and I am also showing last years final results for a comparison. At the end of the regular season I will repost my predictions before the season and at the halfway point. We will see how this develops.
