1.) Nuggets- ain't going nowhere... they will be a top 3 seed, at worst

2.) Grizzlies- will slide a bit... still end up top 4 or 5 seed

3.) Kings- not that they are bad, but teams behind them are better now... very similar to Pels, but they are healthy

4.) Mavs- just acquired Irving to pair with Doncic... they will likely end up top 3

5.) Suns- just assembled one of the best starting 5's the NBA has ever seen... likely top 2 seed, at worst

6.) Clippers- see Kings and Pels...

the way i see it, the Suns, Mavs, Nuggets, and Grizzlies are your top 4... the Kings, Clips, and Pels are all fighting in out for those spots behind that group... and that's before we even know how the Lakers will look with their acquisitions... if those guys work out for them, they will climb the standings too...

we can't help that other teams in the West got way better while we stayed the same and are awaiting our star player to get healthy... it is what it is

Clippers are getting better

We sure on this?

Get a bit of this vibe with the new Suns, Booker aside.



On paper it sounds amazing, then you realize CP is geriatric and plays like 30% of games. Ayton refuses to live up to his potential and continues to have rifts with the team/coach, KD is 34 and oft-injured. Booker is a star though and in his prime, so I give them that.

I would say at this point, we will most likely finish behind the Nuggets, Suns, Grizzlies, Mavs and Clippers. I think we are closer to the 7 seed than the 4 seed after today.

if zion is back all things are possible.
7th seed after a home playin win is just fine.
you do not visit scenic denver until wcf.
4 plays an equal for the right to lose to Denver.
7 is just fine. 100% health is the ticket to that wcf date with denver.

guess we'll see... this much is a fact, they are better today than they were yesterday... can we say the same about the Pels?
