The West 4-6 seeds will separated by like 1 game and some tiebreakers. Jazz-Blazers-Grizzlies in any order. Between 3 & 4 and 6 & 7 will be gaps.
Westbrook averages 26-9-9 on 41%, 4th in MVP voting (not enough wins). 45 wins and a 7th seed. Averages a triple-double against the Spurs but loses in 5.
The Voltron effect hinders a GS player getting MVP and it's given to Kawhi who like someone said also gets DPOY. He will be 2nd on the Spurs in scoring though and possibly develop as a playmaker while LMA leads them with 22 PPG.
Kyrie leads the Cavs in scoring while Bron cruises though it'll be like a 1 PPG difference. Their record will stay the same but the rest of the East will beat up on each other to let 57 wins be enough for the #1 seed. They will have a plus record on the West but a .500 or so record against the East which will have people overreacting.
Harden leads the league with 30 PPG and will be 3rd in assists behind CP3 and Rondo. Swept by the Warriors.
Blake Griffin coming on a free agency year and bouncing back from injuries will ball the fukk out. 2nd in scoring, 28-8-4. Beats one the of the Jazz/Blazers/Grizzlies #6 seed in 6 (7 if it's Grizzlies), beats Spurs in 7. Loses to GS in 6. Blake's big 3 destinations are OKC, Boston and Miami. If he does OKC a sign & trade for Kanter and Ilyasova happens to bring him. CP3 goes to San Antonio or Atlanta.
Melo will ball out this year. But Rose and Noah won't be healthy (Rose 65 games, Noah 50) and get the 8th seed. Bron flips his springtime switch and Cavs beat them in 5. Melo forces a trade to Atlanta or (depending on Blake) Miami.
Cavs get knocked out in 2nd round...
By who?
