This is just a place to talk about basketball or get into any conversations or discussions of it. So to start things off, who do you think is going to take off in the Western Conference? Although LA is star studded with the clippers and lakers, I feel like the rockets may actually be higher than expected. Westbrook is accused of stat padding, but think about how efficient he will be now that he has more shooters surrounding him as well as James Harden. That duo might be looked at as wanting the ball too much, however think about Chris Paul. Him and Harden didn’t get along great on the court but it’s undeniable they were a successful team their first year. Although this year they could have done better maybe due to a loss of important role players, I have a feeling this new rockets team will do some damage
