    Wow - Boston is trash, but only 2 of us don't think they'll hold on to 2nd.

    If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

      I think Boston's weak, I'm just not convinced Cleveland is good enough to make up a 5 game margin with 24/26 games remaining; if Boston goes 14-10, Cleveland needs to go 20-6 to catch them. Despite the last couple games, I don't think Cleveland can finish the season on that sort of pace.

        Beyond 1/2; this was deceptively hard.
        Had a last minute change of heart about the Philly, Miami, Detroit and Indiana.

          3. Cavs
          4. Bucks
          5. Pacers
          6. Wizards
          7. Sixers
          8. Pistons

          I've been waiting all year for the Pistons to turn a corner, hard to see them passing Miami but I'll take a flier on them.

          The Bucks and Pacers are playing well again. Washington had a strong stretch with Wall out, which is a bad sign. Sixers are going to finish strong.

            Only part I'm still mulling is the MIL 'upset'
            Last minute adjustment, SVG didn't hit the homer I thought he did.

            Indiana guts trounced by our juggernaut bandwagon in the first round instead.

              This is almost certainly wrong, but I'll get it in under the wire anyway. Also: fifth through eighth (or fourth through eight, if you're not as sold on the Bucks as I am) are really tough to pick this year.

              1. Raptors
              2. Cavs
              3. Celtics
              4. Milwaukee
              5. Philly
              6. Miami
              7. Indiana
              8. Washington

              Raptors over Washington
              Cavs over Indiana
              Miami over Boston
              Milwaukee over Philly

              Raptors over Milwaukee
              Cavs over Miami

              Raptors over Cavs

                2. Celtics
                3. Cavs
                4. Bucks
                5. Wizards
                6. Heat
                7. Pacers
                8. Pistons

                  Bottom half of the conference is going to be a dogfight until the last night of the season,

                  1. Toronto
                  2. Boston
                  3. Washington
                  4. Milwaukee
                  5. Philadelphia
                  6. Miami

                  8. Indiana
                  I truly believe that my original prediction (that Cleveland would miss the playoffs) would have come true had the Cavs not turned over half their roster - the team looked simply dispirited and lost. In watching the Cavs game against the Thunder, you could see a great deal of engagement and enthusiasm that they should be able to carry over for the remaining 26 games or so, but they're too far behind the two division leaders to make up any ground.

                  1. Raptors
                  2. Boston
                  3. Cleveland
                  4. Washington
                  5. Philadelphia
                  6. Milwaukee
                  7. Indiana
                  8. Miami

                  So.. simply looks like a standings iteration identical to that of at least 64 people above me

                    Miami

                    Tough to leave out Detroit.. but even with Griffin, I don't think they make it.
                    Bumping this thread.. looks like I got a final score of +8.

                    -8 for guessing each team
                    +5 for Washington
                    +3 for Milwaukee
                    +1 for Cleveland
                    +3 for Philly
                    +2 for Indiana
                    +2 for Miami

                      Yeah, so, same thing, but Cavs stick in 3rd.

                      Raptors
                      Celtics
                      Cavs
                      Bucks
                      Wizards
                      Pistons
                      76ers
                      Heat
                      So, -7 for picking one wrong team (Pistons over Pacers looks pretty dumb).
                      0 for Raps.
                      0 for Celts
                      1 for Cavs
                      3 for Bucks
                      3 for Wizards
                      4 for 76ers
                      2 for Heat

                      +6. Meh.

                          Dead wrong on Milwaukee, Detroit and Philly. And that was just 2 short months ago

                            I'm seeing a flaw in the scoring here. The current high score would be if someone managed to pick no correct teams at all.

                              I kind of glazed over rule 3...so as I understand it...

                              I think I'm a +8

                                Oh, yeah, me too.

                                Pistons at +3 puts me at +9.
