Hornets and Suns have losing records at 8th place

Nothing new for the East, but the west is more top heavy this year. Also, a couple teams like the Pelicans and Warriors have been hit hard with injuries.

I don't think a losing record should get you in the playoffs. Just give the first seed a bye during those years.

west is stronger 1-15 than last year or many yrs

cant compare shit so simplistically

no simple mind here bub

confirmed boxscore watcher.

the suns have been playing without their #1 pick. for the last 5-6 games, they've played without the backup to ayton (Baynes) and without the starting pg of the team (rubio). in case you didn't know, the suns biggest blackhole was having no pg last season. so, what do you get when your starting center, backup center, and starting poing guard aren't playing?

L's. lots of them. suns should be way above .500 with a healthy squad, they already showed they can play well. having no center that can play defense is a fatal flaw of this team.even baynes is a backup, he's been good so far, but there are moments where ayton would simply be a better option.

anyways, you don't watch basketball so i don't know why i'm wasting my time with you.

west is back to the 2014-15 days but there's a big dropoff after utah. Lot of that is the suns, blazers, and kings being pretty injured however
