Okay! Let's see how the rest of 2008 breaks down in terms of winning games.
We'll start the breakdown with the top three teams in the league:
Cleveland has nine more games left this year.
The Cavaliers will be playing both the 76ers and Wizards in the next seven games. The tough—or should I say competitive—games would be with the Houston Rockets and with the Denver Nuggets.
The rest should be all LeBron Headliners. The game that they might lose would be one of the two games that the Cavaliers play against the underrated Miami Heat. Lets see how the LeBron-Wade friendly feud goes.
Boston has 11 games left this year.
They will be playing a tough schedule for the rest of the month. The Celtics meet the New Orleans Hornets at home, which would be a test for Rondo against CP3. Though Chris Paul is a better dictator on the floor than Rajon Rondo, we have seen Rajon Rondo exploding recently.
That's a good game to watch and if the Hornets win it, that should wake the Celtics up from their dream. Even if the Celtics embarrass Chris Paul and the Hornets, their next game is against the Utah Jazz.
The two-year pro Rondo will face the two best point guards in the west in back to back games. Though Rondo has great teammates in Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen, it's still tough to beat Coach Sloan's team.
They meet Atlanta, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York, which should make for a good road trip and some fine steaks til they land at Staples Arena.
Everyone is waiting for the rivalry game on Christmas day against the Los Angeles Lakers. Some predict Lakers will win, and some say Celtics are dominant. Lets wait and see who gets the Christmas gift. The Celtics will also meet the Sacramento Kings, who recently upset the Lakers with their quickness, and they finish the year at Portland—a big threat to most teams.
The Lakers have nine more games left this year.
They are currently winning, but struggling to find a way to get back their energy and their defense. The Lakers have managed to stay on top at 18-3, and the West is still weird with the standings, trades, and injuries.
Their tough games amongst their games left in '08 will be against the Boston Celtics, New Orleans Hornets, and the Orlando Magic.
Point guards Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar will have to face quickies Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul. Center Andrew Bynum will have to compete with studs like Kevin Garnett, Tyson Chandler, and Dwight Howard. Kobe Bryant will go head to head with Paul Pierce which will be fun to see on Christmas Day.
I predict they will get away with a win against Orlando, and the rest of the six teams they play this year. However, against the Celtics my mind says they will lose, but my heart says the Lakers will win. I say that because of me being a Lakers fan. But knowing basketball I give the Celtics the edge over the struggling Lakers.
So, to conclude:
Cleveland Cavaliers - With their current winning streak and the team being 19-3 now, I expect they would finish 27-4 to finish the 2008 year.
Boston Celtics - I predict the Celtics, who play six of their last 11 games in '08 all across the time zones, might end up losing two to three games. Boston will finish a record of 29-4 this year
With all the Drama staying in Hollywood, the Lakers will finish this year with 25-5 record.
Let's see in 2009 if my predictions are correct.
