The West is so stacked this year. Who do you think the worst team in the West will be? I think it’s the Pelicans, Blazers, or Rockets

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.
