    Just imagine the annihilation if the Rockets had Anthony Randolph instead of Capela.

    i think he meant we are #1 and they are #4 by the end of the season.



    I like Denver actually they are a good team with some really good young guys in Murray and Harris. I do think they overpaid for Milsap though. I think Malone is an underrated coach though. I do not see them doing as well in the playoffs though mainly because their huge homecourt advantage is reduced in the playoffs. Teams aren't going to be going into that high altitude on a back to back or during a long road trip. They will have time to prepare and can adjust better to the altitude in a playoff series. It will be interesting to see what the Nuggets may try to do then. They are talented though but i think they will come down to a 3-4 seed by the time the season ends.

    Honestly, if we don't meet Golden State at all on the way to the finals, in my mind our championship ring will have an asterisk. Only exception is if The King takes out Golden State for us.

    I wonder how Isaiah Thomas' return will affect their formidability...

    They will be a great team next year with Michael Porter Jr

    unlikely yes, but not for the exact reason you stated. you do realize we're not half way through the season yet?

    Anything can happen between now and May.

    I agree with everything you are saying. I really like them, we are just a terrible matchup for them. But one thing I must point out - the 1 and 4 seeds do not face each other in the 1st round haha
