Yup. Only Houston and GS seem unlikely to move any time soon.Jason wrote:Nuggets have won 6/10. Which isn't so bad, but the 3-10 western conference rankings are insane. When any of those teams lose it's usually because they play each other. 3 games separate them all. It's absurd. Blazers are the three seed, but are literally in danger of dropping 7 spots by next week.showa58taro wrote:B/R had their power rankings. Blazers flying pretty damn high. Nuggets not so much sounds like. Not playing well right now. Utah though is roaring. Going to be a really tight finish as always. Loving being in third but we are a 3-game skid from 8th or something. That’s insane.Jason wrote:Realistically we're looking at Houston or GS in the finals for the west, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me to see any top ten western conference team make the finals. This is the most stacked conference I've ever seen.

Quality win against SA tonight.
Re: NBA 2017 - 2018
OKC went from 7th to 5th to 6th to 4th over the last couple of days. Crazy.

Looked real good last night against Miami. One of the few Portland games I've been able to see this year.showa58taro wrote:I’m just hoping Blazers keep it rolling. Playing some great ball at the minute.Monster wrote:OKC went from 7th to 5th to 6th to 4th over the last couple of days. Crazy.

Re: NBA 2017 - 2018
Yup. Been a very good few games. The GS wins have been awesome. But even some of the smaller victories have shown us a great side. Dame and CJ are rocking and rolling at the minute, and I’m loving Zach Collins recent run of form. Was how I thought Caleb Swanigan would be playing as a rookie. Really an exciting run. Just be good to keep nailing the wind and holding firmly onto third.Monster wrote:Looked real good last night against Miami.

Re: NBA 2017 - 2018
I'd be a little surprised if they didn't hold on to it. Everyone under them is pretty inconsistent. OKC will be damn lucky to hold on to 4th.

Re: NBA 2017 - 2018
Why are the Nuggets losing to bad teams like the Grizzlies when they’re trying to make the playoffs? Not a good idea.
Not removing until John Elway is fired.

They struggle against the Grizzlies, though.

Time to get new coaches if a Murray/Harris/Jokic/Millsap core can’t make the playoffs. The city of Denver has no patience for losers. Get your shit together, Jason.

Re: NBA 2017 - 2018
Homie, the Nuggets have one of the youngest starting lineups in the entire NBA, Millsap has been injured pretty much all year, the team is barely out of rebuild mode, and they're still keeping up with the toughest Western Conference we have probably seen. The 3-10 seeds can swap at almost any moment. For a guy who hates Trump, you're pretty quick to jump the gun and fire everything in sight. :pHeadhunter wrote:They shouldn’t, because the Grizzlies are fucking awful.Jason wrote:They always beat the GOAT teams then drop one to below average teams.Headhunter wrote:Why are the Nuggets losing to bad teams like the Grizzlies when they’re trying to make the playoffs?

Re: NBA 2017 - 2018
The West isn’t what it has been for most of the past decade. Two great teams and a lot of okay ones. Really not that great. Denver loses to teams like the Mavericks and Grizzlies, they’re a mess.Jason wrote:Homie, the Nuggets have one of the youngest starting lineups in the entire NBA, Millsap has been injured pretty much all year, the team is barely out of rebuild mode, and they're still keeping up with the toughest Western Conference we have probably seen.

Nah. Disagree there. 3-10 in the West would challenge for top spots in the east.Headhunter wrote:The West isn’t what it has been for most of the past decade. Two great teams and a lot of okay ones.

Re: NBA 2017 - 2018
I'm enjoying OKC's 6 game streak. Impressive win in Toronto today. But they still have Portland, SA, GS, and Houston to look forward to.
