The NBA regular season is almost over.

1. Predict how the standings of each conference will end and where, if there will be any, playoff surprises will happen.

2. Predict the end-of-season award winners (MVP, DPOY, Most Improved, Rookie, Coach)

3. Predict how the playoffs will play out and who will win the championship and also who will win the Finals MVP.

Nets are terrible, I pegged them to win 20 games before the season started and they have 10 so far with about 14 games left, think it's safe to assume they'd win at least 1 more b4 the season.

Bucks is a different story, not only are they in the playoff right now, which is more shocking than the Nets' record to me, but they are actually a legit contender in the first round.

Bigger Surprise: The Pistons. traded out age for youth in losing Wallace but adding a skilled post player in Villanueva. Not to mention the addition of Ben Gordon. Somehow, with a budding Rodney Stuckey, solid post play and veteran All-Star wings, Detroit looked plain horrible. All season long.
