They have the league MVP and like the best net rating of any team in NBA history or something like that. If it wasn't for the best player in the league going nuclear last season they'd be the reigning champs right now. Teams and coaching staffs taking that Harden shade seriously gonna get swept if they act like Giannis just doing nothing but running and dunking to ~70 damn wins (not that that wasn't funny :russ::mjgrin:).


But we have seen this before.

The rockets on the streak a few weeks ago only to lose in the playoffs.

The celtics are the team to watch out for in the east. I think they can take the bucks.

As far as the underdogs in the West go, I think the Rockets are the biggest threat to either of the LA teams and it just comes down to will Houston be 2nd/3rd seed (Clippers 2nd round) or 4th seed (Lakers 2nd round)

Clippers getting 2nd seed is essentially getting the 1st seed, because WCFs vs LAL is gonna be in the same building regardless.

For Houston/Denver, it's all about that 2nd seed but if it at some point the Clips are running away with it, the question then becomes is it better to be 3rd seed or 4th seed.

Only as far as travel goes. As far as environment, the Clippers will be on the road even if it's their logo on the floor off GP. Add in Kobe's death and forget about it.

Memphis is about to go from a playoff lock to not making it at all. I hate to see shyt play out like that but it is what it is.

There is still like 20+ games left. What’s even sadder? When The Pels take that 8th spot Zion is getting ROY after playing half the season leaving Ja wondering what hit en

Damn
