barring injury or a total meltdown

Denver just traded it's entire team, Utah is in shambles without Sloan, and Portland has an insanely difficult schedule

I wouldn't count Portland and Utah out just yet.

You guys better have it wrapped up. I'd be shocked if Portland/Utah/Denver come within 5 games by the end of the season.

I think it depends on what Portland does or does not do by the deadline.

I just can't imagine blowing a 4 1/2 game lead given our schedule, Portland's lack of depth, and Portland's schedule.

If D-Will and Melo weren't whores, and Blazers werent cursed, this could be one of the hardest divisions at league.

If the DWill trade is for real, I'd say we got the division on lock quite easily for the next couple of seasons. Utah and Denver re-building. Portland perenially injured. Heck, Minnesota could even end up being our main division rivals in the near future.

The Northwest went from being the strongest division in basketball to one of the weakest over night o_O

Wow nets came out big vs Knicks. Though this does means that Knicks will target Chris Paul come 2012.

I think next news we're looking at either trading Aldridge for scrap or minny trading love for scrap.

Presti needs to trade Durant for Fisher and Artest or the Thunder will fall behind in the Division Race for Mediocrity.

Looks like a lot of HCA come the first round of playoffs for the next decade or so.
