I’d still bet on Philly, but if healthy Brooklyn should be really competitive If I had to put my money on somebody I would take Brooklyn in the East and Lakers in the West. My top 5 for each conference would be West EastLakers Nets Clippers 76ers Nuggets Bucks Jazz Celtics Suns Heat You're not too far off from mine. Brooklyn is too much of an unknown for me. I need to see the whole team play together before forming an opinion. |

Lolmarcus How does this make the nets better? It's really depth at this point. LaMarcus isn't a great defender but is a veteran, and probably better than running your low bench options. Him/DeAndre/Blake/Claxton running the 4/5 when the team is healthy is going to be hard for some teams to defend. Their best plan of attack is to run you down and out with offense, and then they'll play alright defense to keep themselves in games. |

I'm sure, like the Lakers, everyone will be conveniently healthy for the playoffs. Drummond also went to the Lakers. Not bad, when AD is back that will help but it's still not the Nets in my opinion. |

I agree if the Nets get everybody back in time for the playoffs and Irving gets focused I don't see anybody in the East beating them. Imo Lakers gonna have a little harder time getting out of the West,depends on how far they drop they probably gonna have to play 3 of the top 4 teams (Jazz,Clippers,Nuggets,Suns) in the playoffs. That's not counting they might have to play in the play in games if they drop that far but I still think they'll come out of the West if they get healthy. If I had to pick between the Lakers and Nets ill go with the Nets but that's just because imo they got a rougher road to the championship. |

That game was way to close Phoenix should've beat them by at least 15 but at least they got the win. Book was incredible once again he doesn't get no where close to the credit he deserves imo,the guy is this young and tonight was his 6th 45+ point game. They 22-5 in the last 27 and still can't gain any ground on Utah.

I’m tired of complaining about the Celtics. What's going wrong over there? They're soft. They take turns on offense, and collapse on defense. When the J's are off the floor they can't score. Ainge has drafted mostly poorly so there's no depth. There's no urgency in them at all. If they don't care, why should I? |

Denver making their run now,they looked great last night. They could be really dangerous to a less then 100% Lakers team.

I'm glad Phoenix finally beat a bad team by double digits and the game was put away early. They got two big tests coming up next week in Utah and Clips,I'm excited to see how they do against two of the best teams in the league.
Man that was a bad loss for Golden State.

Granted Steph and Draymond didn’t play, but my god. I don’t care who is on the court you can’t be down by 60!

I'm glad Phoenix finally made up a little ground on Utah tonight. Their game Wednesday should be really good and mean a lot in the West standings.I thought they would be better this year and fighting for a playoff spot but I would never guessed they be this late in the season and have the second best record in the league.I know they probably don't have enough playoff experience to compete with the championship contenders this year so I'm not getting my hopes to high but this has been a fun team to watch see get better.

I guess "Chris' Secret Stuff" really works that man was great tonight. I hope Booker steps up a little more when they get to the playoffs,he missed a lot of stuff at the end of the 4th and in OT that he should'nt have. Really big win against a great team,gets them within a game and a half of the best record in the league. Another big game tomorrow night to really put some distance between them and the Clips in the division. Donovan Mitchell should be on more people's MVP front runners list,he was incredible tonight I thought for sure he was gonna beat them on his own.

Tough loss,I don't think I remember a game where one team shoot the three so well and the other couldn't come close to hitting one. I think Phoenix is closer to where the Clippers are then what the score showed but the game got out of hand at the end of the 4th and seemed like Phoenix was running on empty after that big Jazz win but LA was great not taking anything away from them they deserve the win.

You're lucky you get to watch so many Phoenix and west coast games. I'd like to see more of the Clippers to see if they're for real. I know Kawhi is, but I haven't seen how the rest of the team plays. Not just PG, but now Rondo and the rest. West is going to be crazy competitive come playoffs. |

Denver might be hurting if Murray is out for the year,hate it for him and the team. Imo they was gonna be the Lakers biggest competition but after tonight they fall down the list a lot if its bad news for Murray. I haven't watched a lot of the Clippers this year and only seen one game with Rondo and that was the game against Phoenix and he looked great imo. They played Phoenix twice and it was tight until the last couple minutes both games so myself I say they are really close to each other but the Clippers have the slight edge. I think both teams are better then Utah and Portland and like I said if Jamal out the year I think Clips and Suns are Lakers biggest roadblocks to get to the championship again. I can't wait to the playoffs start its so many good teams in the west I can see a lot of the series going the distance. |

Hey something fun to say about the Warriors! Steph goes for 53 and passes Wilt as the franchise's all-time leading scorer.
