    Barring injuries I don't see how this team don't make the playoffs. Hell Rox would have prob been the 8th seed this year if Tari and Sengun never went down.

    Next year we will have 1 full off-season with Udoka, Sengun, Tari, Adams, the lotto pick and probably moves in the margins to upgrade the roster.

    The Grizzlies will bounce back in a big way if healthy, but I can't see the Suns, Warriors, Clippers, and Lakers ALL continuing to hover in the high 40s/low 50s in wins given their respective aging superstars. And the Pelicans are always on shaky ground relying on Zion to stay healthy(he played 70 games this season which CANNOT be counted on every year). Same goes for the Lakers with Anthony Davis. And the Mavs and Kings are both good teams, but appear to have ceilings when it comes to win totals(especially when factoring in their cap situations).

    Don’t forget a whole year of Amen, our superstar, and Cam 6 man of the year.

    amen to Amen for that dunk over Plumlee ... he was looking like Clippers' MVP material for way too much of this game.

    I agree with all of that. And when you look at that, more than one of the Lakers, Warriors, Suns, and Clippers are going to be bounced in the first round. The Lakers and Warriors aren't even guaranteed to make the first round. That has got to result in somebody becoming disgruntled and demanding a trade, or maybe at least one owner to decide it's time to break it up and move in a different direction.

    I do think it's possible Zion will be healthier moving forward. Steph Curry spent years unhealthy before they figured out how to manage his health too. Though they have/had very different issues.

    Nigeria is extremely diverse, many different "states" with different dialects, cultures, religions. A good deal of tribal conflict.

    230 million people live in Nigeria, and their population is growing extremely fast. By 2050 they are projected to roughly match the United States in population, in a land area barely larger than Texas.

    Not if you're fitting 200+ million people in the equivalent size of Texas. Lol.
