    Kind of amusing because of Garnett’s affinity for doing these, and now the guy who replaces him breaks his hand doing them

     I think Portland just made the playoffs. Lillard looks like he is for real. Matthews and Batum are good secondary options a long with L.A. I like Utah but I am not a fan of Mo Williams and they have no backup for him. Foye is not a PG. Golden State will be there also but you are depending on Bogut and Curry to stay healthy….

    Mo Williams isn’t special, but he’s better than Devin Harris. The key to Utah making the playoffs is Al Jefferson, not whoever is playing point guard. At least Williams can shoot the ball.

    All Jefferson needs is for his wings to make jumpshots.

    I like Utah and Portland. Not buying Golden State. Bogut isn’t close to being close to being ready to play.

    The KG curse is real. First Rubio, now K-Love. I bet Pekovic will break his foot in the shower next.

    I like Golden State to make playoffs more than Portland. If either Curry or Bogut can stay healthy for the season they’ll be in the mix at the very least, if they both are? No question they make the 8th seed in my opinion.

    I don’t think this will hurt Minnesota as much as you’d think though, it’s not THAT long to be out in an 82 game season, and it will give Derrick Williams a chance to show what he can do in extended minutes with more responsibility.

    As always, the West playoff race is shaping up to be a good one.

    Is MN reacts the same way those Houston teams did when Yao and McGrady were always hurt. Those teams were still a team  you didn’t mark as a win becasue they came at you every night and fought.

    And this team has Roy and AK, sure neither are super young and aren’t shy of injury, but they are two smart players that have All Star talent, and Pek isn’t one to shy away form the paint. I expect them to go out and play like they have something to prove, which Roy and AK do. I’m not saying they are gonna come out winning left and right (which would be awesome) , but they will not roll over like last season. The team has a lot more depth then last year.
