    If you compare age and per 36 minute and advanced stats, this particular Plumlee is basically Joel Freeland without the accent. He'd be nice to have short term, but when Rolo and Freeland come back, he'd be in the same position in POR as he currently is in PHO - 3rd string center struggling to get consistent PT. And, that's not worth a 1st round pick, even if it's in the late 20s.

    Warriors up 55-28 at half vs Denver. Amazing.

    Chicago 12-10 at home and 15-5 on road. Strange.

    Anyone not even including Golden State on their list is a moron and should be disregarded entirely.

    Regular season doesn't matter. Warriors lost in first round with basically the same roster last season. It will be 0-0 again when the playoffs start and Warriors can't stop Gasol/ZBo, Dirk, or Aldridge. Rain Bros can cancel out the Splash Brothers.

    Just seemed convienent, I guess.

    But, really, no GS? That doesn't seem right. Take Dallas or us off and put GS there.

    Last season has no bearing on who the best teams in the West are this year. GS has been flat out dominate all year.

    His reasoning, which I agree with, is that you need an All Star big man to throw it to in the playoffs. GS doesn't have that. Not on the level of Gasol, Aldridge, and Dirk.

    No one is awarded a championship for a big win streak in the fall. You have to beat a playoff team in a 7 game series to be a contender. Warriors didn't make any significant roster upgrade to a team that couldn't win a playoff series last year.

    I'll tell you for certain that Memphis and Portland would win a playoff series against GS and it wouldn't go 7.

    Gasol/ZBo were 19/33 against Warriors and beat them. Aldridge dominated GS and only lost because refs didn't call Batum's timeout. It won't help GS that they blew out all the other teams if they can't beat these two teams.

    If GS is healthy (Bogut) I'll take that bet.
