Yeah you may be able to beat to East which is pretty incredible there record they put up. But to win it all you gotta beat the best of the west to get to the finals

West is better than the East for sure.

But it is better because of the depth.

OKC could fave a pretty good opponent in the 1st round. But they are clearly best in the West.

Get healthy, stay healthy and play quality basketball they should win the West.

I take back all the bad things I said when the Pistons drafted Ron Holland.

I know he had a good game today.

What have you seen from him to make you think he can be a high level player?

Asking because I have him in my dynasty league.

I hear he has a very strong work ethic

There is little drop off defensively from Ausar to him and hes already a better offensive player than Thompson. He is a good free throw shooter. No fear of attacking the rim. If he gets a 3 ball watch out. Not saying it's a guarantee he will though but it bodes well when he's good from the line.

That’s a quality win for the Thunder minus a few People vs a hot clippers team

The new clippers home. They have some type of wall on one end to distract shooters. Cavs are the first team to complain about it

To be fair it was Cavs fans

But apparently there is a statistical edge to the wall lol

Gonna be a dogfight for that 6 seed in the West, to the end. Warriors play the Clippers last game of the season

Lakers back to full health and playing like absolute ass against a shit Bulls team :L

Two many changes to the lineup all at once. No defense being played and 21 turnovers. Bulls shot nearly 60%. Luka and AR showed up (and Lebron in the 3rd), but they acted like they forgot how to play together. Too many possessions where they put the ball in the hands of guys not really up to the task of making plays for others (bigs, Vando). Multiple lob attempts for guys like Len who didn't recognize it at all.

Len and Reddish need to go. Goodwin only has 2 games of eligibility left, so one of them needs to go this week. They can wait another week to make the decision on the 2nd (likely Len, to replace him with another big, whether that's Koloko, Jemison, or (unlikely) someone else).

There's also a big difference between winning a one-off game and winning a playoff series. They should and will be the favorite, but playoff basketball happens.....

Celtics , best team until someone knocks them off

Cavs, if they had home court advantage in a 7 game series vs OKC, I believe they could take them vs a less PS experienced team

The Knicks, well who knows WTF this team could do…

Nuggets , Rockets, Lakers are a crapshoot!



I take the EAST Until dethroned!

Interesting thing I read the other day:

People are saying Steph is the best PG of all time! Does that make him top 5 all time?

I have Magic at 4th in the GOAT argument.... so based on that logic is Steph 4th now?

Steph is a complicated player to pin down IMO.

He is not the best point guard of all time.

Not even sure you can define him as a legit point guard. He is a combo guard.

And yes, he is the best combo guard of all time.
