There have been plenty of trades thrown around on this site and, honestly, I've gotten bored of them to some degree.  Mostly because they are the same trades for the same players repeated over and over.  So, I thought we should go in another direction for awhile and explore the upcoming season.  I wanna know who you think will make the playoffs and then the Finals themselves.

Western Conference:

      1.  Lakers

      2. Dallas

      3. Oklahoma City

      4. Denver

      5. Portland

      6. Houston

      7. Utah

      8. San Antonio

First round:

      Lakers > San Antonio

      Dallas > Utah

      Oklahoma City > Houston

      Denver > Portland

Second Round:

      Lakers > Denver

      Dallas < Oklahoma City

Third Round:

      Lakers > Oklahoma City

Eastern Conference:

      1. Orlando

      2. Boston

      3. Milwaukee

      4. Miami

      5. Chicago

      6. Atlanta

      8. Indiana

First Round:

      Orlando > Indiana

      Boston >New York

      Milwaukee > Atlanta

      Miami > Chicago

Second Round:

      Orlando > Miami

       Boston > Milwaukee

Third Round:

       Orlando > Boston

      Lakers > Orlando.

So, those are my choices.  Agree, disagree, or make your own.  Let's just keep it clean.
