Vegas weighs in
According the the experts in Las Vegas, the Boston Celtics will be tied for the 7th lottery pick this season with the 76ers. Sin City thinks the C's are going to win about 36 games this season. Looking at the conferences, the Heat and Pistons are tied to lead the East with around 52 wins, followed by the Cavs, Nets, Bulls, Pacers, Wizards, and Magic. The Bucks, Sixers, and Celtics will all just miss out on the playoffs.
Over in the West, the Suns, Mavs, and Spurs will battle it out with win totals in the mid-50's while the Lakers, Clippers, Rockets, Nuggets, and Kings will round out the playoffs. The Jazz and Grizzlies are the odd teams out while the Blazers, Hawks, Knicks, and Bobcats (in that order) will be at the bottom of the barrell. These predictions seem pretty spot on. Although there analysis seems spotty at times. When discussing the Rockets, the spokesman for the Las Vegas Sports Consultants stated:
If I was a betting man, I would probably put my money on the over for the Knicks. I think they'll do better than 33 games this season. To see the full list of win totals, click here.

“Ming and Tracy McGrady just couldn’t get on the floor at the same time last season,” said Seba. “Though Ming still isn’t 100 percent because of a toe injury, the addition of Shane Battier from Memphis and the drafting of Rudy Gay should make this team much improved.”I'm not sure how much benefit they are going to get out of drafting Rudy Gay since they traded him for Shane Battier. Maybe it will just help their confidence, knowing that they once drafted Rudy.
