I know i'm in the minority but I have a healthy Clippers team as the favorite to go all the way, Celtics are the biggest hurdle but in the West I think they have the best shot. am I the only one who thinks that? :)


Well, that wake up didn't last long.


Whats up with the Clippers?


I've been asking that for two decades....really tho, I don't remember the last matinee game they looked good during.

Pelicans have been hot. Creeping up on the 4 seed, while the Clippers are slippin lately.

4/5 seed may switch soon. Basically flip flopping HCA. Pels vs Clips.

I got the Clippers coming out of the West, but the Pelicans are a sleeper team nobody is talking about. I always said if Zion ever decides to get in shape and stay on the court they could be dangerous. So far Zion has done just that. No team wants to see the Pelicans in the 1st Rd.

In fact the West is pretty damn tough all things being considered. Should be fun to see who comes out on top. Also not sleeping on Denver they should be the favorites as they are the defending champs. I just like the Clippers.

No idea why they didn't just bring Mobley off the bench

I don't think there are any easy roads in the west outside of whoever Denver plays against possibly. Everyone else will be in a dogfight. I'll be surprised if any team outside of Denver gets a sweep or even wins a very comfortable 5 game series.

Am i crazy or are the Cavs better w/o Mobley?

In any case are there still ppl who view him as a future Mvp candidate? He will be lucky to be Bam

OKC vs MIL is a clanking festival. Awful basketball.

You are in fact crazy. He’s not why they’re getting blown out.

I don’t know how Golden State only scored 27 points after Minnesota turned the ball over nine times in the first quarter.

Nice game from Giddey so far.

15/6/5 at the half. Amazing what happens when he’s allowed to do more with the ball rather than been limited to a 4th option.

I hope he keeps his confidence (and keeps improving) until he lands somewhere where he can do his thing. Would be a shame for circumstances to quash such a talent.
