    Mavs are always one wrong Porzingis step from being a borderline playoff team. Even in his healthiest seasons, he still missed 10-20 games.

    Are they assuming Harden is traded for only potential/picks and/or that Cousins/Wall are complete 0s?

    Well then you better hope that the Rockets end up with one of the top 4 picks because otherwise the Rockets draft pick goes to OKC and the Rockets get the Heat pick.

    Rockets under dogs again? Love it, that's when they play best. Thinking about putting money on this.

    The play-in tournament will be the Rockets opportunity to get into the playoffs

    Of course they are going to put the Warriors in there instead of Rockets. Warriors are led by a 3 time champ in Steph Curry and Rockets are led by....lol

    Warriors will not make the playoffs.

    Portland is the overhyped team of the preseason. They will struggle to make the playoffs if they do at all.

    Rockets making the playoffs is impossible to say at this point. Depends on when/if/and for who the Harden trade happens.

    Overall fairly accurate as far as the 8 teams thatll make it right now. Of course the shift in rankings is probably going to shuffle. And this is without harden in Houston obviously.

    If Harden is on the team and he is playing team will make the playoffs.

    All bets are off without Harden and trying to make the playoffs in the West without him.

    IF the Rockets don't make the playoffs , you have to assume that Harden was traded .... This team with Harden is not just a playoff team but probably a top 2-3 seed in the West.

    Minus Harden , yeah they are a fringe playoff / lotto team.
