Things you learn on NT: Ohio is in the MidWEST.@shotsrangout type of last second play
Me/freeze / @friscostylez type of last second play
They must teach y’all different growing up learning to play in Nebraska. Must be the Midwest in general which is why LeBron does it too since he’s from Ohio. There are levels to this ****, young bol.
From Wikipedia: The Midwest is divided by the Census Bureau into two divisions. The East North Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, all of which are also part of the Great Lakes region.

Yeah I was just about to ask the question of, who is going to drop out (if anybody) and who is going to take that team's place?
Only thing I know for sure is that Sacramento will definitely be out. One of Lakers/Grizzlies/Blazers going to go too. Houston and one of New Orleans/Minnesota going to make it.

LeBron looked like he didn’t wanna play last nightwhat a waste
not in that first quarter. Dude was extra spry. He was running full speed and cherry picking like a mug mug for about 6.5 minutes....had him thinking he was doing it....then that elevation hitcha boy and brodie needed oxygen, stat! It was downhill from there, his white cell count wain the basement. Poor Guy.
Oh and Lonzo hurt his ankle. I'm sure that hurt Lebron raymone James Sr.' morale down, as well as the rest of the ball club, top to bottom. Jeanie tossed n turned.

- Denver looks like the 2nd best team in the league right now, and they have the 2nd easiest schedule remaining out west per bball ref, only behind the Clippers. They'd be a solid bet I think.
- Skeptical on the Clips, but this strong start should carry them to the playoffs if they stay healthy. They've had the 4th hardest schedule in the league per basketball reference, and have the easiest schedule left out of all of the west teams.
- Blazers? Pelicans? I'd probably go with the Thunder or Nuggets for the 2nd best team in the west "right now" if they stay healthy.

Anything in-between the states on the Atlantic coast and California is Midwest

I think Houston Utah and San Antonio are donezo. Memphis has a tough schedule coming up and a protected pick..I could see Gasol ending up in Indiana if things go south. Mavs are capable, just depends how bad they want their pick. People are sleep on Minny, they'll work their way in. Sacramento and Nola will fight but probably fall short. I can picture the AD trade talks getting loud if they keep looking how they been looking

Watch ya mouth. That's not even an Akron thing. Bron just do it because that's him.
And they got the warriors 4 more times, so they really lost 13 games, wth 25 more to go
December is going to be a lovely month. Them F BoYz got
Spurs 2X
Rockets
Pels
Grizzlies 2X
Warriors
The Real LA (Clips)
OKC
And they’ll most certainly trick a game off (or two) to one of Kings/Nets/Hornets
God bless the western conference
and I gotta pretend everything is straight. This is why I said before the season started I wasn't certain we were making the playoffs/winning 50. We shall see though

I'm not a believer in Memphis. That roster is pretty devoid of talent sans JJJ a rookie, and Mike and Marc. If one of those guys gets injured it's curtains. Seldon, Mack, Green? I mean it's been a good story so far, but I don't trust them.
The Lakers are 11-9, but are sporting a 0.1 Net Rating (Spreadsheet Boyz) and are 4-8 against teams who are over .500, two of which came against the same team. They're on the road a lot in December, and have the Clippers, kings, warriors, spurs, rockets, grizzlies, pelicans, all in December. Shaky.
My own pessimism is why I don't buy the Clippers yet. I feel like someone's gonna get hurt or something
they'll get in though I think if everyone stays relatively healthy. Hard to imagine starting out this good and missing the playoffs completely. - I don't believe in the blazers either. Just don't

Lol you think the clippers are for real? They've had like 10 games against injured or disadvantaged teams. They played gs with no Curry, Durant fouls out and they win in ot. Played Memphis in an early game, Conley fouls out, win in ot. They just played the blazers and nurkic gets hurt 2nd half and then I think Leonard fouled out
. Now tonite they get Phoenix on their 3rd game in 4 nites. They've been incredibly lucky with their schedule. Don't get me wrong they're solid. They're alright but they're not real

I don't think there is really any reason to think the Lakers are "more real" than the Clips though. Both teams could be looking shaky in a couple months.

Clipps are a better team than Dallas and Minnesota tbh. No disrespect to Luca Brasi of course.
No I dont think they will finish 1-4 in the West but you're saying they wont make the playoffs.
I do believe the Lakers will miss the playoffs though so there's that

At some point Dallas gotta realize that winning isn't in their best interests this season.

lakers are 4-5th in defense...but then 22nd in offense.

defense is effort....you cant just randomly become a better scorer. for as long as we can remember, brons teams been just fine offensively and just had to shore up defense and string along key stops. And, if we're really keeping it a buck...tht 4-5th in defense feels misleading too. I see them give up points all of the time.
