NBA 2017 - 2018

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

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.
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.
Yup. Only Houston and GS seem unlikely to move any time soon.

OKC went from 7th to 5th to 6th to 4th over the last couple of days. Crazy.

I’m just hoping Blazers keep it rolling. Playing some great ball at the minute.

Looked real good last night against Miami. One of the few Portland games I've been able to see this year.

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.

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.

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 always beat the GOAT teams then drop one to below average teams.

They struggle against the Grizzlies, though.

They shouldn’t, because the Grizzlies are fucking awful.

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.

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. :p

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.

Nah. Disagree there. 3-10 in the West would challenge for top spots in the east.

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. :?

Our streak continues but next is Houston. The real test. Then Boston and OKC. it’s a hard schedule at times.

With a little luck, I'll be at the Portland/OKC game. Should be a good one.
