Really interested to see who comes out of Rockets, Warriors (assuming beat memphis), lakers, and wolves quadrant. You could make an argument for any of them
West was insane. Lakers finish 3rd but 5 days ago 8th was in play for them.
Imagine Houston getting Steph, Draymond and Jimmy as a reward for #2 in west if they win that PIG.
I'm not at all a Laker fan (even though I've been there 12 years now) but I really like where they are set up maybe as much as anybody.
Five teams with losing records make the playoffs. Heat at 37-45. Bronny getting NBA minutes. Why are people not watching?
Looks like Niang and the hawks are in. Good for him.
I know they are in play in but if they can get in as 7 I'd rather face Houston than Lakers.
Who all is on Houston anyway? Only one I could name is Brooks. Kind of shocked they finished 2nd in west.

Have some good young players in Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, & Alperen Sengun
Rockets are a year away imo from being a serious contender. Lot of athletic forwards that can switch on everything. Amen Thompson has a chance to become an elite player if he develops a jump shot.
Still as play in game winner you like the draw vs a more tested 2 seed like the Celtics. If gsw win their play in I’m guessing they are close to even odds with Houston.
Houston is where OKC was last year. A lot of really talented, young guns who overachieved this year.
If GSW is their opponent, I’m guessing they’d be getting underdogs in that series.
Yes I agree. Rockets are a year away. They do have a lot of defenders that can contain curry. They kinda play like a college team way they harass players all over the court. I think if Butlers healthy I lean gsw but like I said above the most fascinating thing for me in postseason is who comes out of bottom quad of western conference. You got 4 really close to even teams in lakers, wolves, rockets, and warriors
That's exactly where they're good comparison. Very bright future
Georges always being a social media topic during games as a role player despite reasonable stats and reasonable salary is amazing. The haters are crazy and love his success and will never buy a drink near Ames forever.
He could help himself out by dropping 10 lbs. He looks terrible.
