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 (alien.top)

Just a lot of uncertainty coming up. Especially with the younger teams gelling and key players getting injuries.

The blazers will probably finish near the bottom - unless things really come together for them. Probably the same with the Rockets.

Memphis will probably do much worse this year than last. But maybe they'll figure things out without Morant initially -- and if he comes back hot they could finish near the top.

The spurs and the thunder might surprise us, but I can't see either making the finals.

The clippers could do well or finish poorly due to injuries. Same with the warriors.

Utah and Sacramento might make the playoffs. Both teams are definitely good enough to occupy the middle - but not outstanding enough to make it work against the competition (imo)

The mavericks and the pelicans could do really well this year. Or go to shit.

I expect the Lakers to make a good showing again - particularly if Davis continues to look strong/healthy. But in the end I think Phoenix and Denver are the teams to beat in the west. Phoenix has made some significant changes - we'll see if it is enough 🤷
