ROCKETS GOT STOMPED AT HOME. The Pelicans Era is here.

Act like you've won a preseason game before against your biggest rival.

lets rank the players 1. harden, HOU 2. howard, HOU 3. Anthony Davis, NOP 4. Eric Gordon, NOP 5. Ryan Anderson, NOP 6. Jrue Holliday, NOP 7. Chandler Parsons, HOU 8. Tyreke Evans, NOP 9. Omir Asik, HOU 10. Jeremy Lin, HOU

4 of the top 6 players on either team are Pelicans

In no particular order all of these teams have the ability to be in the top 4:

Clippers
Spurs
OKC
Grizzlies
Golden State

The West may be even more deep than it usually is. I honestly don't see it, but that is just IMO. The W-L records are going to most likely be so close at the end of the season at the top it should be interesting to watch.

ETA: That list doesn't include Houston

oh my

OP knows what's up

I'd say so according to seeding.I think Portland gets that 5 seed. I like the bench play so far now that they're getting minutes. TRob has defensive and rebounding potential. His offense may never be good but he can run the floor and rebound the heck out of the ball. I think if Portland's bench is actually better, we might sneak into.the 3 seed.

WCF threats: OKC, POR, SA, HOU
Close But No Cigar: LAC, MEM (Not sure if they make playoffs.)
Good Teams But West Stacked: GS, other potential surprise team.

Houston is a threat

I wouldn't have said that a month ago. I think.they're starting to play better team ball which has led to more wins. Once the game slows down (playoffs) we'll see if they go back to the Iso Harden ball and akwardly force feed Dwight. If.so, then I can't see them being threats.
