    Spurs. Howard is going to get injured(season ending)...I'm not hoping it, but I'm calling it.

    Seriously though, Spurs.

    Spurs
    Tony/ Cory/ Patty
    Green/ Ginobili/ Belinelli/ De Colo
    Kawhi/ Deshaun
    Duncan/ Diaw/ Bonner/ Pendergraph
    Tiago/ Aron

    VS

    Rockets
    Lin/ Beverly/ Young
    Harden/ Garcia/ Canaan
    Parsons/ Casspi/ Covington
    Motiejunas/ Jones
    Howard/ Asik/ Smith/ Henriquez

    That would seem easy enough. I think Houston needs better complimentary pieces to there starting lineup than Lin and Asik. Lin without Harden would be better like Asik without Howard. I would suspect at this time Motiejunas would be a better fit starting with Howard due to spacing and have Asik as back up. Beverly also woul make a better starter next to Harden because he doesn't need the ball to be effective. I can see them trading Lin if possible. Mo Williams would be a great fit; he can shoot the ball and handle.

    But as is they lack the depth they would need to win more unless they plan on playing starters big minutes. I must say though that Harden, Howard, and Parsons has potential to be a very deadly trio of stars; very complimentary. Harden is much better of a team player than Kobe is.

    Spurs

    Why are people over-hyping the Rockets? They will still be garbage. Maybe a tad bit better on defense but the team as a whole is still trash. Plus we got Baynes

    Harden is great but Dwight isn't going to run with them and they are going to suck.

    Spurs all the way. OKC doesn't belong in the conversation anymore. They have a long way to go to make up for Harden's absence and their lack of an inside game. Its Spurs - Clippers and everyone else.

    Spurs
    Clippers
    Golden State
    Houston
    OKC
    Memphis

    LMAO. OKC won 60+ games last year and were the #1 seed in the West. When a guy like Westbrook goes down...so does your chance at a le. And the Rockets add the best big man in the NBA and people think they will only get slightly better. Classic.

    People are thinking they are better because of Howard but it's Harden + a decent team that is going to get them to a good seed and some playoffs success.

    they were the youngest team in the NBA. last season was supposed to be a growing pains year, and instead they still managed to make the playoffs. thats pretty promising for a club like that. it was harden's first year as a go-to guy. parsons took a big step forward. it was the first time Asik had a big role. that was a team with "internal improvement" written all over it. now they added Dwight Howard... so yeah, they'll be pretty good

    The rockets are nothing but an ice sculpture to me tbh. They look good for this moment but will melt down before long.

    I'm more afraid of Harden/Parsons/Asik than I am of Dwight Howard.

    I actually think the Clippers are more of a threat than the Rockets at the moment.

    Barring any injuries (which is a given with the Spurs lately), they should be the favorite in the West.
