    Laker fans shouldn’t boo PG13, just wave at him like Dame did.

    I read this piece and it made me wonder how players besides Curry and Hood have somewhat accelerated/resurrected their careers in Portland? Hood? Nurk? Davis? Aminu? Others? Anyway, Stotts is a very good coach, usually finding mixes and matches to get the best out of each of his players. I think the Blazers will, yet again, beat the predictions for this season.

    Why do they look so sad. Look like they all got stuck in timeout, and Horford is just like I can't believe they gave me that much money.

    Which is weird because Embiid spends a lot of time sitting on the bench in a suit.

    If I was a 76er fan, I'd be stoked. But, from the outside, things are a bit unstable - Embiid's Health, Horford's age, Simmons shot, and Bench play, too.

    BTW, I say unstable because things could go either way.

    Mitch Lawrence and Brian Custer on SXM NBA Radio said the Rockets are a top 4 team in the west.

    they could be if Harden and Westbrook find the kind of synergy that Durant and Westbrook did early in their careers. Westbrook and PG13 never really developed much...it was more like 'my-turn-then-your-turn-then-my-turn'. also, Harden & CP3 didn't do that great together. Sometimes yes, but a lot of the time when one was playing great, the other was sitting. And CP3 sure appears to have a lot higher BBIQ than Westbrook

    it will be a combustible back-court, but the odds appear much higher for implosion than for explosion

    but yeah, if they magically mesh, the Rockets will be tough
