That's part of the army's rehab program for guys who spent time in prison. Making them jump out of a helicopter tightens up their butt hole.
I think the Nuggets will be better than the Blazers this year, but trying to argue that Denver was better last year? Gosh, if only the teams had actually played each other, we could stop speculating on which team was better and we could let the results of the actual basketball games be the determining factor.....
I would not be surprised if the top 8 teams split 2 and 2 with each other in the west this year. Utah and Denver will probably be the front runners at the All star break. Not sure of Klay's timeline but the Warrior machine will pick up when he gets back. Portland can so go either way that it fills me with trepidation and excitement. In Houston I expect auto-cannibalism in their backcourt and should be fun to watch.
