Take a look at how the "Experts" at ESPN seem to think the Seedings in each conference will go...http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8517499/miami-heat-denver-nuggets-top-magazine-team-predictions-espn-magazine

1. Miami
2. Atlanta
3. New York
4. Boston
5. Philly
6. Chicago
7. Brooklyn
8. Indiana

[1. Denver
2. OKC
3. Minnesota
4. LAL
5. San Antonio
6. LAC
7. Utah
8. Memphis

Doesn't really take a NBA fanatic to figure out why these projected seedings are moronic. ESPN is absolute garbage. 1st question- how did this get published on any date other than April 1st. 2nd question- why is ESPN still the worlds main source for sports information?

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
They're wayyyy too high on Denver, Atlanta, Minnesota, and likely Chicago.

But other than that, I think they got it mostly right. Except for NY.

Actually yeah, pretty ballsy rankings. Call it trolling, I won't disagree.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Based on a computer simulation, so not their employees' actual opinion.  But I hope they didn't pay too much for that simulation because holy cow.  Denver is pretty crazy, but Wolves and especially Hawks are full-on bananas.

Haha. Rankings for Denver, minny, Atlanta, and Indiana make absolutely no sense.

Denver at #1 is nuts, but I think they'll be a good team. They're deep, they'll defend, they'll have great ball movement, and they'll run.

ESPN has really been underrating us this year IMO...I dont mind it because I think it plays into the C's favor for us to be the underdogs..

but with the moves we've made, I dont see how ESPN expects us to be a middle of the pack team
