... last two years, predictions in the range of 40-42 wins have been the kiss of death. Last year, 7 predictions came in at between 40 and 42 wins, and they overerstimated by an average of nearly 8 wins. This year was even worse the 7 near-.500 predictions were off by a whopping 12 wins. Word to the wise: if you find yourself predicting a .500 record for your team next year, you may want to consider ratcheting down your expectations. By the way, this is a good chance to tell you about BallHype's Playoffs Pick'em Contest . I just created ...

Its been a while since I’ve posted, but I am reinvigorated for the playoffs. An amazing NBA season came to a somewhat uneventful end. The only intrigue over the past few weeks was the battle for the last playoff spot in the West. Now that all the dust has settled on the regular season, I am more than ready for the playoffs to begin.

From our West Coast correspondent, Michael Prodanovich... As one of the few real NBA fans left, and as one who has seen almost every good Western Conference game, I feel a duty to give a preview, especially since this years West playoffs will be some of the best basketball ever played.

That’s something that hasn’t been said around the league in quite awhile, which is a testament to how much talent is truly spread out through the league. The Denver Nuggets, for instance, have the league’s third and fourth leading ...

Yee-haw, baby! The NBA Playoffs feel goooooooooood!! There are many of us out there who bash the NBA for a variety of reasons. But one of the worst things about the current NBA is the way their playoffs aren’t interesting at all except for a couple of series each year. I admit I’m not a big NBA fan, but I used to watch a fair amount. And as I kid, I remember always watching NBC’s Sunday ...
