    There is no unbeatable team this year. Warriors are awful. Celtics can’t beat Orlando. Bucks lost to Rockets. Whomever is first in West doesn’t stay there long. If Blazers are serious about winning a title, now is the time to get it done.

    Yeah, for this year, it's all about development over the course of the season. Chemistry, defense, experience, health... if they can grow into their potential, we could maybe see something special come next May

    With AD out, he might wear down.

    Jokic - 40/27/10. He is already the greatest Nugget.

    Lillard against three defenders. Glad he made it but might not have been the best option?

    Pelicans have lost 4 in a row. They should blow it up.

    That’s why anyone can win it. There is no elite team in the West this season.

    In the immortal words of @KSF-ERIC - We lost to the Thunder and hence we are trash.

    Suns sale price getting close to 4 bil according to Woj.

    Jody is going to go for nothing less than 3 now.

    Are the Suns really that more valuable than the Blazers? I had no idea?

    phoenix is close to top 10 in the US media market. We're maybe like 20.

    Sale also came with the Phoenix WNBA team apparently.

    They were also in the finals last year and have a 26 yr old all NBA player locked into a long term contract.

    Minnesota seems to do better without Towns (and even without Gobert). Edwards and Russell seem to feel more free to do their own thing now. I wonder if they should consider trading Towns (plus maybe McDaniels} for Siakam?
