Horfin's Orange Nuts

[Horfin]

Need everyone's help. I need one team from each conference that will be slightly better than .500.

So far I am looking at these:

Eastern:
Washington
Milwaukee


Western:
Memphis
Denver
Utah


Anyone have any particular feeling as to who will be slightly better than .500 from each conference (EITHER your own pick or from the above lists)

Thanks

I would definitely take Utah as I see them winning high 40's in games and in the East I'd take Washington as they should be in the low to mid 40's.

Thanks Bookie,

I considered the Lakers, but I figured they are like the Colts in the NFL were the line is overly inflated. I think this system works best without the big names. Just the mere fact that it is the Lakers I feel the line would be shifted at least $0.10. For example if you threw the Jazz jerseys on the lakers and they played Boston it would be Utah -110, but since it is the Lakers it would be -120.

Just my thoughts. I think the lakers fit in the system, but the line won't be as favorable as someteam like the Jazz.


Thanks Cuse....I'm considering the Jazz sstrongly.

I would steer clear of Memphis, Gasol is the anchor of that team & he won't be back until Jan..I would put Washington & Denver as the top 2 candidates...Denver should improve from the 44 wins last year, & are a good team at home. Washington is a pretty solid team....Butler should be a real force this year....I can also see the Jazz winning over .500, but IMo are a bit riskier than the Wizards. GL deciding what color nuts you will have LOL :thumbs:

I agree with Udog here...stay away from Memphis, they could be the worst team in the West

[Horfin]

Thanks "The U" and Edward Haney....it is appreciated. That is why I coming to you guys.

I kinda like New Orleans in your spot too, Horf. I think Utah makes perfect sense except they are always injured (AK47 is already bitching about his back).

In the East, I think Indiana could be a solid play for 42-48 wins too. Lots of talent there with O'Neal, Harrington, Daniels, Granger, and the "gunner" SJax, hahahaha.... Just a couple to take a look at for ya. Orlando is an up and coming team with value too maybe, but I'm not sure they'll be .500 but should be close and I know you need over .500 teams.

Cuse,

Interesting that you mentioned Indiana. I was thinking of them today as well.


Still got a few days to figure it out.


Thanks

Just an FYI......I'm going to have three nuts in the NBA:

Eastern:
Washington
Indiana


Western:
Denver



I really wanted Utah.....but my gut ain't feeling it.....

Washing plays Indiana 3x and Denver 2x and Denver plays Indiana 2x..... So I won't lose that many plays.

In the end I should have 232 plays.

the hornets will be right there, sonics as well

[Gamehendge]

believe it or not, the hawks will be 500. this season as well.

[Gamehendge]

couple more... celtics, new york

[ming the merciless]

I like denver, they're really flying under the radar this year with no high expectations since losing to the clippers last year. Nene and K-mart healthy and Karl a good coach too.:thumbs:

[Gamehendge]

nuggets might be a good team to ride early this season Ming

[Gamehendge]

something tells me the same about the hawks as well... might be crazy, but this a good young team that have some experience know. They played pretty descent towards the end of the year last season as i recall
