  1. I think the top 6 seeds in the west right now will stay the same just different order. Min, NO,GS have too many star power injuries to overcome imo. If anyone falls out I say it’s kings

  2. By the end of the season it could be like this
    1. Denver
    2. Phoenix
    3. Memphis
    4. Mavs
    5. Clippers
    6. GSW
    7. NOLA
    8. T-Wolves

  3. Lakers will sneak in the play in and make it to the playoffs. We are more deep now and have better shooting.

  4. The suns are going to be dangerous. Paul can just run the offense and not be depended on to score a lot

  5. I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a
    guy on radio talk about the importance of investing
    and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k,
    Somehow this video has helped shed light on some
    things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open
    to ideas.

  6. These are the 7 teams I see in my parlays by April and 4 of these 7 will make a conference finals…

    1. Boston Celtics
    2. LA Clippers
    3. Phoenix Suns
    4. Los Angeles Lakers
    5. Milwaukee Bucks
    6. Philadelphia 76ers
    7. Denver Nuggets

    A part of thinks Nuggets are a toss to reach the Finals. Not since 2017 have we seen two #1 seeds face off in the Finals.

    2018
    (2) Warriors vs. (4) Cavaliers
    1st Seed Failures: Rockets, Raptors

    2019
    (1) Warriors vs. (2) Raptors
    1st Seed Failure: Bucks

    2020
    (1) Lakers vs. (5) Heat
    1st Seed Failure: Bucks

    2021
    (2) Suns vs. (3) Bucks
    1st Seed Failures: Jazz, Sixers

    2022
    (3) Warriors vs. (2) Celtics
    1st Seed Failures: Suns, Heat

    At least one 1st seed usually busts before the Finals. I'm thinking it's Denver but it's very possible it can be Boston too since Suns were the only team to win over 60 last year and failed to make it beyond the 2nd round. That's why I'm going 7-deep and I should have the final 4 within that 7-team pool.

    Celtics, Bucks, and Sixers should all finish 1-2-3 and being a 3rd seed is a requirement as it's rare to win a title at a lower seed. Nuggets are a lock being #1. Then I got Suns, Clippers, and Lakers finishing 3rd through 5th.

    I hate the Lakers but they're dangerous. This team can make some noise in the playoffs. Winning it all? Who knows? I think the only two teams who can beat the Lakers are Clippers and Suns. Lakers can beat any team coming out of the East.
