Re: Western Conference Outlook
It's interesting. Many of the teams expecting to be among the worst beat teams expected to be in the playoffs, and bad. Portland beat the Pelicans by 18. Denver beat Houston by 20 IN Houston. Even in the eastern conference. NY beat the Bucks by 25. We are not really expected to be in the playoffs, but these playoff teams from last year all had losses to even worse teams than we lost too...or at least teams that were expected to be worse.

Re: Western Conference Outlook
I'll keep my 36-40 wins... hoping for a turnaround like 13/14.

Re: Western Conference Outlook
I rank the Kings over us right now. Theyre a much more talented team, with a coach thats focussed on getting his team to the playoffs.
Cousins/Gay combo is scary.

Yeah I'd agree that Gay Cousins is a scary combo

Still think we are better.

Re: Western Conference Outlook
Houston is 0-3 to start the season. They completely collapsed against Miami today. They really missed Dwight and Terrence Jones.

Re: Western Conference Outlook
Locks (1-5) GSW, Clips, Spurs, OKC, Houston
Fringe (6-10) Memphis, Utah, Dallas, NO, Phoenix
Misses (11-15) Denver, Lakers, Sacramento, Minnesota, Portland
So either way I think we'll be in the playoff race til at least 70-75 games, which is what our FO want.
Whether that accomplishes anything I'm not sure.
