    The whole West will be tough though. Wouldn't be surprised if Jazz or Hornets actually got 8th.

    You both made the same mistake I did. Just corrected it. They are the New Orleans PELICANS.

    Hornets play out East now and might actually be good.

    Maybe 11-12. Forgot about them. But the 7th-12th could be up for grabs.

    They will be a home court team if lance fits well and they are on the same page. Probably a year out from that kind of chemistry.

    That's what I'm used to. I'm so happy they changed back to the OG kush

    That could be possible. I think top 6 are locked in, barring no injuries. 7-8 is a toss up between 5 teams. (Phoenix, Utah, Dallas, memphis, and NOLA)

    You seem to be forgetting that Westbrook has been injured each of the last two years. I'm not convinced his body is capable of playing as hard as he will have to to carry that team to a winning record for 2 months. Then you wonder how they handle Durant coming back. I don't think you just throw the reigning MVP out there unless he is 100%.

    Wow. No Warriors. No faith in Kerr?

    I pick the Thunder to finish 4th. Certainly Durant can rally them to HCA in the last 4 months of the season. No one picked the Thunder to finish first.
