    So would rather play Clippers/...............................................*...................................................Spurs/ Warriors. In that order.

    Disclaimer*: the Gap may or may not represent the mental toughness of teams involved.

    I see it more like anybody else............................... Clippers...... Spurs... Warriors. All 3 would be very tough propositions but really exciting series

    Don't keep up much with college basketball but is there any kind of Anthony Davis prodigy coming out this year?

    Portland is likely to fall IMO. OKC should make it.

    someone like Lonzo Ball from UCLA could be a future star... there aren't any world beaters but a few guys with a lot of potential

    Ball has the worst looking shooting motion I've seen in a PG.

    Crazy looking at the standings in the East. The difference between 3rd and 12th is 2.5 Games. Holy freakin cow. The East is god awful.

    Don't look now but SacTown is currently sitting at the 8th spot after winning 4 straight and Portlan is tumbling down the standings by not having any D and losing 6 straight.

    I noticed this myself. Like I said before, you just cant many "lock" assumptions this early.

    Don't look now but only 4 games separate the 8th seed Kings and the 12th place Mavs. Hell even the worst team in the West, Phoenix, is only 4.5 games out of the 8th spot.

    ESPN prediction was pretty good as far as teams. Honestly after awhile was thinking everything but 8th place was locked but Portland came back. Sucks for Denver though.

    Sucks to be Denver, a lot of good to very good players, but not even one great, let alone star player. They still got quite few players who can break out, but that's been story for them for so long.
