The Warriors are going to lose to OKC in the 2nd round and then beat them in the WCF? :scratch:

Honestly though- the Lakers and Twolves could EASILY be the 5th seed as much as the 9th or 10th spot in my estmiation.

I am settling on, all things being equal, that the Warriors are by far the best team, than the Rockets.....than a tier with the Jazz and Thunder- and then the Pelicans, Blazers, Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, Twolves are all pretty much equal. Each has their own benefits and detriments. Its SO hard to pick the 4 teams out of there.

I look at the Spurs and see they are adding DeRozan to a team that won a bunch of games last year.

I look at the Pelicans and see Anthony Davis- who is a top 5 player at worst- a great front court of Mirotic and Randle with him- and a great point guard in Holiday who put up 40 in a playoff game

I look at the Twolves and see an extremely talented team with Towns and Butler- plus guys like Gibson and Dieng who are great defenders and glue guys

I look at the Lakers and see THE KING of the NBA (at least right now).

I look at the Blazers and see last years 3 seed with an amazing duo of Lillard and McCollum

I look athte Nuggets and see one of the better, deeper up and coming teams out there with guys like Jokic, harris, murray, etc..

SOOO hard to pick

Agree. I could literally see the Lakers finishing as high as 3rd in the West or being out of the playoffs and, as you point out, that could be said for pretty much everyone not named the Warriors or Rockets.

Even at that, the Rockets are probably a Harden injury away from missing the playoffs themselves.

Unacceptable response
Okay....

Fuck, Blazers out, Dame requests trade, CJ is the one who ends up getting dealt.

Pelicans in.

:poke:

If the Pelicans miss, replace Dame with Davis in trade request scenario.

But, I think Davis will play like a man possessed and Nola gets in.
