Hollinger's Western Conference Predictions

* Utah Jazz 58-24
* Los Angeles Lakers 57-25

* Houston Rockets 56-26

* New Orleans Hornets 50-32

* San Antonio Spurs 47-35

* Phoenix Suns 45-37

* Dallas Mavericks 45-37

* Portland Trail Blazers 42-40

* Denver Nuggets 41-41

* Golden State Warriors 40-42

* Minnesota Timberwolves 31-51

* Los Angeles Clippers 30-52

* Memphis Grizzlies 26-56

* Sacramento Kings 23-59

* Oklahoma City Thunder 20-62

 

I'd flip Utah and New Orleans, and I'd put Portland and Dallas, but other than that I mostly agree.  I think Sacramento could surprise some people (as in win 35 games), and think Minnesota is on the way up.  The Thunder page won't load for me, so I'm assuming they're the worst in the West -- which I agree with 100%.

 

 

All in all, I thought his Nugs preview was dead on.
