    It would be nice if Houston or OKC would start collapsing because otherwise this is going to be Portland and San Antonio fighting for the 8 seed down the stretch. Who knows if Memphis and Phoenix will stay in contention.

    #MyGrizz will be in the race til the end.

    Rockets not playing a single guy over 6’7 and beating LA is intriguing. Say what you want about them, at least Morey and Dantoni are always open to trying anything.

    LA has three bigs which is almost as unusual today. It would be an interesting series

    Lakers need better defense outside. They have the paint on lockdown

    Lakers have also hit a bit of a skid

    Fuck back in Utah tonight already? Don't see a win here. Then again fuck Utah and everything that state stands for. PDX microbrew and a "soda" just out of principal. Fuck them.

    I think the Rockets are better than they have been in the past. They will get a center like Tristan Thompson once guys get bought out. It’s hard to believe in a D’Antoni team, but I think they have a chance to make noise. Still hard to see anyone but the LA teams winning the West.

    I wouldn’t want to play Denver in a 7 game series (altitude!?!).

    Jokic played awful the first 6 weeks, they’ve been racked by injuries (millsap, Murray, grant) the last 6 weeks, and they’re somehow still a half game out of 2nd.
