NBA 2007-08 Regular Season Predictions
By RaptorTalkWith the regular season starting tonight, its time for RaptorTalk's 2007-08 regular season predictions.
The Toronto Raptors once again seem to have fallen off the radar of many preseason prognostigators. That's a good thing. The Raptors will surprise a lot of people this season.
We expect the Raptors to repeat as Atlantic Division Champions with a 50-32 record. The Celtics will finish second and the New Jersey Nets will finish third. Overall, the Eastern Conference race will be very tight, with only 7 or 8 wins separating 3rd from 8th.
This will be the year for Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns to win it all, even though the Spurs will have a slightly better regular season record. These are the rest of our predictions:

If the Washington Wizards were to win the division, they would be guaranteed a top 4 seed, no? Unless these rankings are purely based on win totals alone, not on the divisional standings. RaptorTalk: Yes, these are not playoff seedings, simply projected wins.

Bill Simmons disagrees with you. The idiot has Indiana, Milwaukee and Atlanta making the playoffs and the Raps and Cavs missing it. He is clearly a ****.
