I think its safe to say the Cavs aren't winning 73-74 games next year
the 2nd set of projections (in the link at the end of my fanshot) pass the sniff test a little better. Not sure why the Lakers don’t fare as well as you might expect.

One problem with the win estimates
is that they are using a linear prediction of wins instead of using a Pythagorean method. This makes a significant difference for the top teams (like Cleveland).

Well then,
let’s just put Portland in the finals now and get right to it.
Seriously, let’s get it on.
It wasn't the first time I'd been kicked in the cherries and called a rat by a woman, but it was the first time I didn't mind.
