If Pelicans stay somewhat healthy I can’t see them being the 15th team in the west
They’re never healthy, in fact the season hasn’t started yet and they’re already the most injured team in the league.
Under budget and ahead of schedule. Everyone jealous already
Zion and BI missed a ton of games last year and they still ended up around .500
They were competing near the top of the west before Zion got injured. I thought (perhaps foolishly) that they'd be a 50 win team last season, and I think they really were with a little better injury luck. They're deep, have a youth movement, and have some top tier non-overlapping star power
Man early season was so great, Suns and Pels battling for the top seed in the West. Booker and Zion in MVP talks, honestly was an all around great and competitive beginning to the season. Then the injury bug just wiped out the league 😿
Even the blazers where a top team the beginning of the year for like the first month
Remember the Spurs? Now, I don't even want to think about how much of a hot streak they're going to go on this season.
Nuggets were only losing cause we actually were giving heavy minutes to DJ it hurt to watch. As soon as he was perma benched we went on huge WS
If Zion can play even 55-58 games that's a massive improvement
You were a 1seed for like a week in December let it go
Yeah they would both have to miss the whole season and it be a CJ McCollum led team to end up last place.
Man a couple years ago they gave us a run for our money. I think Brandon Ingram is underrated. Jonas and Jose are excellent. They got some dudes. There is just the big pink Zion in the room.
It’s not even just Zion anymore. Everyone is hurt or injury prone. Every game I’m holding my breath.
They are a playoff team of Zion plays 60+
Yeah imo it’s the Rockets, if not them then they Blazers
personally i’m just glad we aren’t in the running anymore :D even if the worst happened, we still have enough good young talent to win some games
