The disparity between the east and west is already showing with a 14-3 win-loss record. The league needs to figure out how to rebalance this mess.

Wouldn't at all be surprised to see a Grizzlies/Warriors WCF. They both look dangerous.

Warriors have a balanced roster... Bogut has sacrifice scoring to be a facilitator and a defensive juggernaut.

Their only weakness is health.

I picked the Grizzlies to get the #1 seed in the prediction thread, but funny thing is I watched them twice before our game and they REALLY struggled against Minnesota AND Charlotte, so despite being 4-0 I kind of felt like they were not as good as I thought. Of course this doesn't make me feel good about how they handled the Suns.

Warriors looking really tough.

Lance just had a buzzer beater from almost the mid-court to win it in the 2nd OT. :O

WOW!!! I need to watch the highlights, that's insane.

Awesome to see the Bucks beat the Grizzlies and the Spurs lose (although NOP beating them might hurt our playoff chances).

Grizzlies were a bit lucky in close games that watched them play earlier.

Sac favored by 2.5 in OKC. Not sure who we should be rooting for.

Guys we're definitely getting that Lakers pick this season!!!

No way the Lakers will tank after this.

I expect them to step their play up a notch or two.

I feel she should have been more realistic and gone with 35.

It's more and more likely that they wont even get to 30, and we won't get our (their) pick. Same with the minny pick. Just your typical Phoenix Suns luck, nothing to see, move along.

Would you guys trade one of Dragic/Bledsoe for Noah?

Definitely. I've honestly thought if there was one player that would fit perfect on this team for what it needs it is Noah. High intensity, high bball iq, leader, can rebound, block, pass, etc.

I'm sure some here wouldn't do it but it's pretty much a no brainer for me. Who would you rather have? It's tough to decide which guard would be more desirable to keep. Bledsoe a much better two way player and defender and younger, but also has the injury history...and then Dragic has the higher bball iq, is currently better at leading a team and probably a better scorer.

I think from the Bulls perspective, if you had another ball handler vet guard as well, Bledsoe might make more sense, especially with his defense, but if you wanted someone who can definitely run the team and you need someone to handle the scoring load more (kind of like Rose did back in the day), then Dragic would make more sense.

People here are pretty divisive here between Dragic and Bledsoe and many clearly prefer one to the other.

Would Bulls fans be on board with that move? It seems like to many it might cause an uproar.
