Personal note: I've decided that the four remaining games will be data only, as I've simply got too much going on and with the Nuggets deftly snatching playoff defeat from the jaws of victory, I need to dedicate more time to certain other endeavors. The data will continue to be tracked, as an entire season's worth of data is infinitely more valuable than an incomplete season's equivalent.

Prediction: Denver -
