Some things to note:
*The extreme records of the Bobcats, Cavs, Magic, Suns, Kings and Wizards on one end and the Nuggets, Heat, Grizzlies, Thunder and Spurs on the other end can be easily explained because I tend to almost always choose to bet against/for the sucky/elite team. As Grizzlies and Nuggets are my favourite teams in the West (along with the Wolves), I've classified them as elite.
*Like always I overrate the regular season Boston Celtics (+17 this year to go along with +28 and +16).
*Most surprising thing is that I predicted Philadelphia's record correctly. I guess the optimism in the early and pessimism later evend each one out.
*Mediocre/low playoff teams are most correctly predicted like always.
*Compared to previous years Indiana has gone from quite a lot of negative (-20 and -12) to well above 0 (+9). That can be explained by that I have started to enjoy their gritty attitude, while I didn't really care much about their earlier teams.
*Despite Minnesota being on the sucky zone for the past years, I've never underestimated them, always predicting more or equal wins for them (0, +4 and +5).
