50-32 - 5th seed
Uh yeah, when was the last time a 5th seed in the East had 50 wins?
Closest I can find is the Bulls had 49 wins as the 5th seed back in 07.
The 6th seed last year had 48 wins. 2 years ago the 7th seed in the West won 50 games (same as the year before that). I think the conferences are a bit more balanced now.
I think Cleveland wins approximately 56 games. Toronto approximately 54. Indiana and Detroit approximately 51/52. Which put Boston with 50 wins as the 5th seed. I think Charlotte goes for around 45. Atlanta around 43. And then the Knicks, Bulls, Bucks, and Wizards all in the 37-40 range. Magic around 35. Sixers like 25 and Nets like 20.
Out West I'd peg GS and San An around 65, Clippers around 55, but then I see a big drop off and don't think any other team gets to even 50 wins with the Blazers, Jazz, Mavs, Thunder, and Grizzlies in the 40-45 range. Wolves and Rockets around 37/38. Kings, Nuggets, and Pelicans in the 30-34 range. Lakers around 23 and the Suns at like 18.
Those are approximations and based on reasonable health.
