Nurkic is developing into a Center we can utilize, needs to become more efficient against NBA caliber players

Comments? My first thought was to wonder what Las Vegas is burning this summer? Have they polluted the air every where with Hashish? Not sure pot would cause this. Not trying to be a homer? But I don't buy this at all, especially looking at what the projections are for a few of the other teams.

I believe they had the Nuggets winning 26.5 last year, not a lot of credibility IMO....but that sounds like a good bet IMO, take the over !!

Totally agree and I'd say take the under on Minnesota - I love what they are building but a 13 game jump from last year's win total? With a new head coach, implementing a new system? Young players have a lot to learn without adding a new system. I didn't look too closely at the Eastern Conference. I did agree with the top 5 or so in the West but after that? If I were a gambler, there would be some other good options there. I see the west in four groups with Warriors, Spurs, and Clippers fighting for the top 3. I see the Blazers, Jazz, and Thunder fighting for 4-6. I'd put 7-8 up for grabs with the Grizzlies, Nuggets, Twolves, Mavericks, Pelicans, Rockets fighting for those two playoff slots (not in that order for any of the above, more or less). I see the Lakers, Kings, and Suns looking in from the outside by the end of December.
