Quick Predictions

[bLACKpANTHER]

i ran through the rest of the season and did a quick W-L for the teams jocking around for the 5,6, 7 and 8th seeds (CHA, MIA, TOR, CHI)

currently:

TOR - 27-23

CHA - 24-24

CHI - 23-24

MIA - 24-26

at end of Feb:

TOR - 32-26

CHA - 31-26

CHI - 31-28

MIA - 29-31

at end of Mar:

CHA - 43-31 ^

TOR - 40-34 v

CHI - 38-36

MIA - 35-40

at end of Season:

CHA - 48-34

TOR - 45-37

CHI - 41-41

MIA - 42-40

i then gave CHA a 5 game (homer) swing and said we would end up 43-39 and be the 6th seed

and thought about it and i think i would rather play the Celtics in a 5 game series than the Hawks

thoughts?

I think the prediction is pretty close to where they will end up on this current path. 4 or 5 games over .500 is reasonable for this Cats team (barring injuries). Normally we would match up really well against the C's but we have gotten blown out twice this year. I think our next game between them will be the tell-tale sign - seeing as they are old and banged up, and when we played them we had a completely different team.

The Hawks are very young, tall and athletic so that matchup would be a toss-up. We killed them in Charlotte and they killed us in Atlanta.

Keep in mind it is actually a 7-game series first round now, so if we can get a couple early wins against the C's then maybe they would be exhausted by game 6 or 7.

Of course we need to make the playoffs first!

Go Cats!

i don't think you can worry about who you play in the playoffs. strangely we've played cleveland the best and atlanta pretty well. orlando we played close one game and then boston absolutely thrashed us twice.

despite this cleveland has the best record and boston the worst of the home court playoff teams iirc. a team that's bad now might be really good come regular season's end. I'd probably like to play the Hawks since they were about full strength and we beat them and played them close, but honestly it doesn't matter.

if we win as many games as we can, we'll most likely play the worst of the four. that's all the cats need worry about.

To be honest. I want the 8th seed. I want the Cavs, I don't think we can beat the C's.
