@playahaitian @Mask @jack walsh13 @BDR @M.H.C. @Amajorfucup @Complex @LSN @largebillsonlyplease @Spectrum @4 Dimensional @Picasso and all you other bros; who doesnt make the playoffs and who does in the west??

Western Conference
1 LA Clippers 13-6
2 Golden State Warriors 15-7
3 Denver Nuggets 13-7
4 Memphis Grizzlies 12-7
5 Oklahoma City Thunder 12-7
6 Portland Trail Blazers 12-8
7 Los Angeles Lakers 11-8
8 Sacramento Kings 10-10
San Antonio Spurs 10-10
Dallas Mavericks 9-9
Minnesota Timberwolves 10-11
New Orleans Pelicans 10-11
Houston Rockets 9-10
Utah Jazz 9-12
Phoenix Suns

Clippers aren't for real I can see them going on a huge landslide and missing the playoffs. If the Jazz miss this playoffs Snyder getting fired. Rockets are a mess. That shit will not get any better. I think New Orleans will make it. Memphis ain't for real though they can grab an 8th seed. Lakers will be a 4th seed.

This will be the first time that i can remember where playoff standing cant be deduced by looking at the standings in early december..

Wild wild west indeed..

Barring injury, i have..

GSW, DEN, OKC, BRONS, HOU, PORT, NO, SAS (outside shot at 8th seed: paper clips)

[ansatsusha_gouki]

This is,why the Cavs stay losing....

RUMOR: Cavs make trade offer to Sixers for Markelle Fultz

Nah fam Lakers wont get 4th seed; they will get lower seed if they get in; Yea Snyder will get fired for sure, but Mitchell keeps getting hurt for the Jazz though; its gonna be interesting...

I think the Clips will be there all the way until the end; I also think Jazz will fight and Memphis will fight also; Im not sold on Spurs, NO, or Lakers at this point; Hell im not sold on Rockets either; It will be interesting to see the shuffling that takes place over the month of Dec....

Subtract- Denver and Memphis

Add
Rockets because the owner will make something happen!!!

Spurs or Jazz both teams too deep and talented...I think things will work itself out for either probably both!!!

Clippers surprised me with this hot start along steady energy they're bringing every night.


Health is critical as we seeing already....

Pelicans(as always), Dubs and Jazz

Why do you think Denver wont make it? And memphis has been in the playoffs every year they have been healthy; why you think they wont make it??

Hmmmm....

this PRE ALL STAR BREAK

hell PRE Christmas but....

Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Grizz

Thunder, Wolves, Nuggets, Pelicans

I think RIGHT NOW?

the Spurs aint gonna make it (I'm saying this in NOVEMBER!)

Grizz stay healthy they in

No Suns No Kings No Jazz No Mavs.

 

[Mask]

Why do you think Denver wont make it? And memphis has been in the playoffs every year they have been healthy; why you think they wont make it??

Denver playing good but sometimes folk just have to earn it...(I must say this been coming, this year should be the year for them to finally make the postseason)

Memphis seems to always have problems at the wrong time...

True about Memphis; I think Denver makes it; they were within a game last year of making it. It should be interesting how they play tonight against the Lakers; I know you love your boy but Im not sold on the Lakers. But Im not sold on Rockets, Spurs, Jazz, NO, either ; I will be watching all these games like this though....

 

[playahaitian]

Interesting...No Rockets?

Again...its NOVEMBER

and Morry is a BEAST of a GM and by the All Star break?

but NOW I do NOT like the look of this team as presently constructed

Yea I fucks with Lebron tuff, I understand everyone concerns about them not making it....

Shit I I can be honest, im not to thrilled at the way they been playing so far...
Well from the highlight, I've seen(haven't watched a full game yet).
I thought their pace would run teams out the gym but it haven't to the degree I thought it would.

The shooting woes been killing them, which don't make sense. I understand you're wide open but your shots is shits from deep. They should drive that shit and get a close shot, only 3 players should shot from deep....Pope, Hart & Lebron everybody else attack!!!

Those 3's don't put pressure on the defense....which keep teams close that shouldn't be close

 

[ShadyPat]

@ShadyPat wassup with the celtics?

I think Brad is overrated fam, he just takes to long to make changes. I think Danny will make a trade, Hawyard definitely fucked up the chemistry but its not all on him. Brown has gotten worse and Tatum is shooting as well as last year. We can trade one of our 10 wing players for a center or a REAL PF...last game was better though like I said earlier brown needs to be benched.

I feel you
I have said Brad is overrated offensively for years
All your guys need touches Brown isn't bad
Y'all just don't play a ball movement offense and if he don't get touches....like Haywood... And everyone not named Kyrie he won't have a rhythm and won't have a good game

 

[Complex]

Brad Stevens has a halo and is the golden boy

It was crazy when they were trying to say he was the best coach in the league, when you have Pop still coaching, much less some others with rings

Man, I was looking at this absurd shit last night.

Sun ain going.

I don’t think the Spurs are going nor the Mavs. Timberwolves ain’t going either.

 

[Complex]

I see the Spurs missing the playoffs.

New Orleans is dependent on how many games Anthony Davis misses this year

Houston will turn it around

thats why you gotta start smart he cant shoot but hes better play maker than kryie...Kryie is better playing the 2 guard role...Let Rozier and brown come off the bench..I hope Stevens can bench brown. let Morris start, hes shooting 4o percent from the field. I don't even to bring up brown numbers. I know it seems like i am hating on brown but dude is clearly more of an athletic than a basketball player. Al Horford is aging as well, but who do you trade for him...his contract is heavy.

Rockets make it, Kings don't. Of course those Denver boys make it. No more 9th seed bullshit.

Nobody trading for scraps no more
But it's the system more than the players cause the talent is there
If a coach is better with no talent than with more talent than he's ever had
Something is wrong

careful cuz...

the cult of brad gonna find your ip address.

I knew he wasn't "loved" when the nba coaches votes came out but they scared to say anything on the record

What was the LEAST talented but BEST team to win?

Detroit Pistons with Billups?

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

What was the LEAST talented but BEST team to win?

Detroit Pistons with Billups?

I'd hardly call them not talented
Wallace
Wallace
Prince
Hamilton were all talented players who played together and got it done

They won cause the more talented team didn't play like a team.

 

[jack walsh13]

Goddam Denver beat the shit outta the Lakers tonight.

 

[Day_Carver]

Man, I was looking at this absurd shit last night.

Sun ain going.

I don’t think the Spurs are going nor the Mavs. Timberwolves ain’t going either.

That still leaves the Jazz Rockets Pelicans GS Denver Clips Portland OKC Lakers Memphis; fam thats 10 teams lol

 

[Day_Carver]

I don’t see the spurs...rockets and jazz not making it...I haven’t been paying attention to the clip...grizzlies or kings...don’t know if they’re for real

So you like the Lakers GS Spurs Jazz Rockets NO Denver OKC Portland thats 9 teams fam lol...

 

[Mask]

Goddam Denver beat the shit outta the Lakers tonight.

Just was coming say this, I see mike Beasley finally got minutes early...and produce 8pts in 9mins....

 

[Day_Carver]

Yea I fucks with Lebron tuff, I understand everyone concerns about them not making it....

Shit I I can be honest, im not to thrilled at the way they been playing so far...

Those 3's don't put pressure on the defense....which keep teams close that shouldn't be close

I just dont like how the Lakers are put together; nothing they do great at; I just think they are average on offense and defense; So LBJ is the x factor but they could easily not make the playoffs just like the Spurs or Jazz could as well...
