Nuggets guard Ty Lawson: "I think we're the best team in the West" - The Denver Post

I know this is one of those things that someone on every team seems to say at the beginning of the year but I wouldn't be surprised if Denver makes a run at that top spot. They're insanely deep and are probably going to fly under the radar for a good portion of the season.

And they had a positive showing in the playoffs, which always amps up younger teams.

everyone knows this squad is an offensive powerhouse, it's the improvements on the defensive end I'm most geeked about.

the Nugs were 19th in defensive efficiency last season (), if they can move into the top 8, I think they can challenge the Thunder and Lakers for the top spot.

I don't think they will get the top spot, but I would not be surprised if they got the #3 spot behind the lakers and OKC

[Tony D'Amato]

Demarcus Cousin needs to get into a fight this yr

Stay far, far away from Eric Gordon in fantasy drafts. I know I learned my lesson.

DeMarcus Cousins gonna put up All-Star caliber numbers.....too bad the Kings will be in the basement out West again.

Tyreke Evans need to figure out whatever the f**k is wrong with him and step it up this year. The Kings still gonna be a League Pass favorite though

:yep: I didn't even waste time on Gordon due to his injuries, I traded Gordon ASAP for Stephen Curry and the sucka agreed for it. Boss shyt

Tyreke needs to learn how to shoot a jump shot without fukking fading away.

His jumpshot form is turrible. He's regressed so much from his rookie season. I know he was hurt a bit but he's still not improving to where he should be

Or at least put some fukking arc on his shot when he does. A flat fadeaway has almost no shot of going in. With how good he is at getting to the basket and finishing around there, I don't know why he's so in love with his jumper anyway.

Eric Gordon is such an injury risk that people would rather have Stephen Curry and his brittle ankles?

Stephen Curry's ankles are made from paper mache

For Fantasy Basketball, hell yea. Curry is a top 5 fantasy B-Ball player. Gordon isn't even a top 25 fantasy player for your fantasy squad. Curry's ankles are brittle, but I will take my chances on Curry>Gordon easily for your Fantasy B-Ball squad every time. Plus, Curry doesn't rely on much athleticism as much as Gordon does, so it really won't effect Curry as much as it does Gordon.
