The first half of the 2014-2015 NBA Season has wrapped up , so I thought I’d give my predictions for the rest of the season , predicting the un-predictable Western Conference , including their predicted record for the season. I’ve looked at each teams schedule , and this is what I came up with :
1. Golden State Warriors (63-19)
Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have been a top 2 team basically all season. If they keep playing like the way they’re playing , this team should wrap up home court advantage , with an impressive 63-19 record.
2. Memphis Grizzlies (58-24)
If Memphis can keep playing the terrific defense Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph have supplied them , then I think they’ll cook to a 2nd seed.
3. Houston Rockets (57-25)
James Harden has been playing like an MVP. Don’t think that’ll stop , Houston should cruise pretty well , and Harden will win MVP.
4. Portland Trailblazers (56-26)
Don’t think they’ll be “amazing” but they’ll be good enough to get a top 4 spot. 4 seed it is.
5. San Antonio Spurs (56-26)
The best has yet to come for Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs this season , think they’ll get hot and will stay hot. Will be tied with Portland , but that won’t be a problem for the black and silver.
6. Dallas Mavericks (53-29)
The addition of Amar’e Stoudemire should help Dallas , but they still have a lot of injuries to deal with.
7. Los Angeles Clippers (52-30)
For some reason , I just see them struggling a little bit , which will be huge for the rest of the season.
8. Oklahoma City Thunder (49-33)
At the end of the day , Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook aren’t gonna miss the playoffs. Only way that happens if one them’s hurt again , think they’ll be close all year with the Suns , but they’ll reach the playoffs.
So there ya have it , just my predictions for the rest of the regular season for the Western Conference standings. I do have picks for after that , but we’ll save that for another day , possibly before the actual playoffs.
