    How did the NBA as a whole get better?

    San Antonio, OKC, Clippers stayed the same (pretty much).

    Houston got worse, Dallas unknown, Minnesota worse, Denver so-so, Utah so-so, Memphis might be better (lack of injuries), but...who exactly got significantly better in the western conference?

    The top 5 teams are probably Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Warriors and Blazers. And it's not a given that the Warriors will be better than Portland (nor is it a given the Blazers would be better).

    Still get to learn a lot if you know what to look for. For instance you can see how much T-Rob has improved his defense. Getting to guard the best PF in the league every day really helps him improve that. Patty mills took a huge Step by getting that time to learn from and guard Tony parker.

    Neither. I think it's Rice with Dame. I mean, Dame likes to drink, so I'm sure they are drinking buddies.

    They did get Parsons, but I'm not sure if a team with aging Dirk and aging Tyson is really "much better" (Tone's words)
