    I don't know how that's much worse than the other contenders in the west. Just basing it off last season and how everyone thought they'd be done yet they made it to the conference finals and had a great regular season.
    Thank you, man. I didn't want to respond to such ridiculous posts. Nothing is certain is sports, but barring injury the Spurs will still be top 4 team out west. They'll need a better 4/5th bigman to have a chance of surpassing OKC & LAL.

          Yeah you're right, 2nd to 5th spot is pretty close. I like the clippers but how are they so different than last year?

          Tomorrow could get ugly though when I think about the matchups.

            Well, they added a ton of depth. To me, they are the deepest team in the league. Now that can be a gift and a curse, just depends on how unselfish everyone is.

            Look at their roster. Every position has a starting caliber player.

            CP3/Bledsoe
            Crawford/Billups
            Butler/Hill
            Griffin/Odom
            Jordan/Turiaf

            Their negatives are still postup scoring and the coach. Griffin supposedly has worked on his jumper and post game, and Jordan looks like he'll at least try to rebound this year.

            They are very different this season and for the better. If you got a chance to watch the Clipper/Grizzly game I think anyone would have their eyes opened. Eric Bledsoe is about to make his name be known.

              That's the piece of info I was missing. Yeah that looks pretty good. Has Odom played yet?

                Re: 10/30 - 11/7 Games Discussion Thread.

                Yup Odom played and he played surprisingly well. He looked very comfortable out there like he hadn't missed a beat. They also have Matt Barnes, Willie Green and Ryan Hollins to fill in. That's really ridiculous to me. 13 guys who all deserve some decent minutes.

                They are all hungry and motivated, that's the key.

                  Well my reasoning is they picked up some real nice pieces in the offseason.

                  Crawford, Hill, and Odom were excellent pickups. The bench is deep, Griffin will likely improve on last year, learning to expand his game.

                  You got Paul running this offense, they are deep, and Crawford adds a burst of scoring to this team, a guy they desperately needed, and best believe Paul will manage to get him some nice looks.

                  I like what the Clips are doing, and I think they could be a force, picking some good veteran players, and if Odom can return to himself, that's another huge piece of the puzzle. Dangerous team.

                      Good for him, he's too good, he deserves a nice ending to his great career.

                      Man doesn't look too good for the lakers to win that one, wonder what the odds are.

                        VNI, I have that 8th seed interchangeable with Portland and Minny. Do you think Minny can grab that last spot?

                              8th seed is gona be pretty close. There's also Utah and New orleans. I wish they make it but I know for sure they're gona be exciting to watch at least. If they can stay out of injuries for a while I like their chances.

                                Yea, I agree. For me it's if Roy can still be productive from the field, I know his athleticism is sapped, but can he make an impact on offense.

                                I think Nawlin's is a year away, but yea Jazz in the conversation.
