NBA Playoff Predictions For the New Year
This NBA season has been very interesting to say the least. Here at The Bankshots I’ve been doing lots of predictions as of late. Why not keep up the trend? This season has gone a lot differently than I expected. In the beginning of the season I had the Pacers being a two seed in the East, oh lordy was I wrong. Additionally I had the Pistons making the playoffs with the 5 seed, well that's not looking too good. But probably the worst prediction i made was slotting in the Rockets at the 10 seed… at best. I think it is best to put my awful predictions behind me and focus on the present and the future. So now let's hop into these predictions starting with the Eastern Conference.
