For the last few years, right before the regular season starts, Jon Hays and I usually paste in our guesses for the top 8 in the west in chat. This year the west is up for grabs more than anytime in the last handful of years, so I thought I’d share my list:
- Rockets
- Clippers
- Spurs
- Blazers
- Nuggets
- Lakers
- Jazz
- Warriors
No doubt a few things are wrong here. For example, Dallas looks like a playoff team right now, and I left them out. But I’m excited to see how this shakes out, especially for the Spurs, who are exactly the team I was hoping they’d be now that Dejounte Murray is back.
