    I have never looked into a crystal ball, but one showed up and what I saw was the rockets first round and out. Defenses are going to make westbrook beat them.

    The NBA and the Lakers, I guess. Match up issues.

    I’ll worry about the sixers or bucks when we make it out of the west. I’m worried about the clippers because they have so many perimeter defenders to make it tough on James and Russ plus have to be guarded on the other end. The lakers have size but no stretch 5 so at least Tyson can play against them. The lakers are a top defensive team right now but I feel like James,Russ and EGO (if he ever gets back in shape) have a big advantage over their guards.

    I feel like the lakers height will cause us problems. MDA too stubborn.

    All four are better than the Rockets as of right now. But it was really difficult to choose between one of the LA teams. They are by far the biggest threat given that they are in the western conference.

    Bucks own us, Clippers and Lakers look better than us, but I think we could take the 76ers.

    I'd say all 4 are serious threats. I'll have to give it to the Lakers because of the potential to get significantly outrebounded and bullied.

    None. Rockets by far. Better team than any team in the league. No one can guard James anymore

    We might be able to hold on against the clippers. The Lakers however are taller just as fast and can actually shoot. Tucker will not hold his own against AD and Dwight seems to be rejuvenated. They also some serious shot blockers. Lebron Ad Dwight Danny green. They make it very hard to get to the paint. I hope we can find a way to get oubre on a Rockets uniform. He can hit the three and definitely adds height/ can block shots.

    Clippers without a doubt. Leonard is a machine, down to his robotic laugh.

    Westbrook has 3 first round exits in the last three years. And he still havent improve his areas of weaknesses.
    At the end of the year I'll bring this backup just for you who cant see straight.
