    The Jazz are one of the few radio broadcast teams that I actually enjoy if I can't get the Blazers broadcast

    This Blazer team has yet to form an identity ...it's still disjointed...they can fix it but it's not happening early in this season

    Who's everyone got in the Warriors vs. Suns game tonight? Preview of the Western Conference Finals?

    No doubt, especially if they can avoid injury.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Right now, I think the Warriors are the slightly better team, but it's close enough that I'd make the Suns the favorites in Phoenix and the Warriors the favorites in San Francisco.

    I think once Klay Thompson returns and is re-integrated, the Warriors will be the clear best team in the NBA. I don't expect Thompson to be peak Klay, of course, but I think the things that will be diminished (athleticism-driven things, like one-on-one defense and pump-and-go drives) won't be too detrimental to this team. He may not be capable this season of playing big minutes limiting the other team's best perimeter player, but he's still a smart defender who can fit into the defensive system and use his size to be versatile. And his dribble-drive juice was a more recent development--in the Warriors' first two seasons of the dynasty, he wasn't much of a slasher and he still provided a ton of offensive value. Like Steph, he's great off the ball, he can hit tough contested shots and thus has a ton of gravity.

    So you were following him enough to be "Pissed Denver Got Him" but you didn't actually know that he had any back issues?
    Wouldn't missing a season with back issues make things not considered equal? The guy ain't killing anything right now?

    Warriors...number 1 defense in the league and the best team at making big runs...they're a handful for every other team in the league..

    I thought it said protocols. Hopefully it's just that he was in contact with someone who might have it or something.

    Whatever you call it, 'Bron has to sit out 10 days, or get 2 negative covid tests within 24 hours of each other.
