Can we just talk about the Western Conference next year.
Defending champs, defending MVP, didn't really lose anybody. Biggest home court advantage in the league.
Spurs - Aldridge, Kawhi, Green, Parker, Duncan, West, ginobli... Popovich.
The Clippers could be a beautiful disaster or just better than anyone. A team with Lance Stephenson, Josh Smith and Jamal Crawford is impressive.
Rockets - assuming Ty Lawson can dry out a little bit. I also like their rookies as much as anyone in terms of a fit. Harrell looked like a beast this summer. And Dekker will fit with what they try to do offensively.
Thunder - kind of the forgotten child but with a real coach now and two of the best seven players on the planet. Watch out for the McGary effect.
Grizzlies still the Grizzlies.
Macs still the Mavs.
Anthony Davis might be the best player in the league next year. Just too bad the rest of the roster is garbage.
Oh and the Timberwolves will probably be the most interesting team in the league.
As good as a conference can be.

The West is going to be VERY fun this yr. It was brutal last yr and every team looks to have improved this summer. Only thing I disagree with is the Mavs. I didn't think they would be terribly good if Jordan followed through and signed. Getting Deron was an unexpected windfall but he is a shell of the AS he was.
A lot of teams in the east got better too though. The Heat should've been strong last yr if healthy so keeping everyone and adding Winslow was big. I really like what the Bucks are doing too. Cavs should still roll but we saw how injuries can kill even the best teams.

Yeah I don't think the Mavs are contenders necessarily but they're probably like a three seed in the East. Same with the Grizzlies and probably the Rockets too. And they've got a better coach than every team not in San Antonio.
And my point was that some team like the Thunder are going to win 60 games and have to play them in the first round.
I'm concerned that we are just getting KG part two in New Orleans. Going to waste a great players best years with second rate coaches, third rate rosters and a fourth rate front office.

They've made shitty moves for yrs and got super lucky in the lottery. That won't stop the shitty moves.

Trouble for Derrick Rose> The lawsuit filed against Derrick Rose, accusing him of drugging and gang raping an ex-girlfriend, provides more details about what the woman says happened that night in Los Angeles. The complaint actually names 13 defendants—Rose and his friends Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen, and 10 unnamed “John Does”—and lists nine causes of action, including sexual battery, battery, and trespassing.

Bad situation but she waited 2 yrs and now files a civil lawsuit. Whether she is telling the truth or not, she looks to be just trying to get a payday.

Khloe Kardashian rushed to be by Lamar Odom’s side after he was found unconscious in Nevada on Tuesday, Oct. 13
Kardashian’s ex-husband, who has battled substance abuse issues in the past, was found unconscious on Tuesday afternoon by two women he was partying with, Ryder Cherry and Madison, at the Love Ranch South in Pahrump.
Love Ranch South owner Dennis Hof told Us that after the NBA player was found, staff called 911. Operators instructed the staff to roll Odom to his side, at which point, "a bunch of ugly stuff came out of him,” Hof explained. Odom was then transported to a nearby hospital.
.....where Odom remains unconscious and on a ventilator, that drugs were found in the 35-year-old’s system. “Virtually every drug imaginable was found in his system,” the source says.
