The always fun (and futile) activity of predicted records for each NBA team for the upcoming season...
I still see Cleveland beating Oklahoma City in the Finals, but with Durant's injury OKC's playoff seed could potentially turn out to be harmfully low - that's something to keep an eye on in the competitively tight Western Conference. I already went over the big picture for each team a few months ago. Rest assured, in the NBA, the only thing certain with the regular season is uncertainty. While we usually know who the best teams are, how the regular season plays out is almost always surprising.
