GSW prediction post

Our predictions below with a little commentary. As far as the rest of the NBA goes, I think we are most skeptical of Houston improving as much as the consensus.

Sportsbook.com has GSW total at 52 wins. So we here at W&W are all over the place on that line. Maybe that means it is in the right place?

Mike:
Warriors: 52-30
Western conference winner: Memphis
Eastern conference winner: Indiana
Champion: Indiana
MVP: Lebron

Jake:
Warriors: 50-32
Western: Spurs
Eastern: Indiana
Champs: Spurs
MVP: Durant (I think people are tired of voting for LBJ see. MJ so unless he goes whole other level nuts it is going to someone else, and I am too scared that Rose won’t be able to hold up, but he’s my second non-Lebron choice)

Christian:
I am going to go positive and say
54 wins for the beloved Copperplate Gothic
Western: Clippers
Eastern: Heat
CHAMP: Heat
MVP: ROSE

Warrior’s win total over/under: some easy money?

Cash Money (part two)

Arturo Galletti over at Arturo’s Silly Little Stats knows a whole hell of a lot more than any of us about statistics. I usually have to pull a George W. Bush and mostly use my gut for my season win total predictions.

He thinks taking the Warriors on the over is easy money. His prediction is for 45.55 wins, which my gut says is overly optimistic. How he did his predictions can be found in two parts: part 1 and part 2. Again I don’t know enough about stats to quibble with his predictions but my gut tells me again that Portland is not the second best team in the league behind only the hated Miami Heat.

Will the W’s really make the playoffs and win 45-46 games? Thoughts?
