Jamal Crawford is an all-star, this year, but NOT an “established one” in people’s mind. Same with Steph Curry. That’s why they didnt’ get in. But if they repeat their same stats/impact next year, then they will get in.

Clippers are my pick to win the west, but Im not sold on Del Negro. When CP3 is in there, their “last-min” game time plays are always “give the ball to CP3 and get the hell out of the way”. They have to set something up something better.

Lakers should make a trade (I would trade D Howard, but Lakers wont do it). Lakers are hell-bent in keeping D’Antoni, so one has to go in order for his system to work. Plus, STEVE NASH is not the point guard that will give your team a ring. Even if they had Phil as coach, do you see Nash beating the likes of a Chris Paul or Russell Westbrook, or even a Tony Parker in the finals??? He’s also a major defensive liability. Woj’s article a few days back hit in right on head on this one.
