Predict the West 8th Seed Record 

Post#1 » by jzmagik » Tue Feb 5, 2008 11:27 pm

How many wins do you think the Western 8th seed will have? If its 50 wins, is that a record for most wins for an 8th seed? The West is do damn competitive this year, it's crazy.

Edit: This could be a historical playoffs, if the 8th seed is 50+ wins, then by default a Western team will have to defeat teams 50+ to reach the finals. Assuming Detroit Boston or Orlando have 50+ wins and make it to the finals on the east, the West will have to defeat another 50+ team to win it all, which has only been done by Hakeem's Rockets (I believe they also beat 2 60+ win teams however).

47 most likely, this is going to be a hell of a playoff season.

Most people are projecting in the 47-48 range.

It will be Golden State with 49 wins.

They will play Phoenix in the first round :clap:

I'd say 48. Eight teams with 50 in one conference is just too insane to fathom.

I'd love:
PHX v GS
DAL v HOU
in the first-round.

Whether it happens or not is another story.

By virtue of the fact that a team that is at or within one or two of 50 wins is a pretty darn good squad, the West then really becomes a toss-up.

PHX v GS

UTH v NO
SAS v LAK

That would be the first round matchups that I'd enjoy the most!

Good luck to the west. Going to be a great finish.
