So much talk still about the Suns who I just don't know how they will play together, especially on defense.

I still think the Nuggets are the favorites in the west. Bucks should definitely be in the finals if they stay healthy

Blazers have done really really well here. Hate that Jrue is going to Boston.

What's really funny is that Heat fans thought their "package" was anything close to what Portland got pic.twitter.com/e1TgGs3yQC

May not be final either. I doubt they keep Brogdan for the whole season.

Their depth has taken a hit though. They had a strong 8-9 man rotation. Now they got old-man Horford off the bench. Hopefully Pritchard elevates his game but he's picked on quite a bit when on defense.
