I am not sure it is fair to say that they underachieved. They were very close to making the playoffs for each of the last 2 years despite having a very young team with perhaps that worst point gaurd play of any team in the league and many of our key players being injured for large stretches of the season. We added really solid, veteran roll players in Hill, Johnson and Diaw. The kind of veteran players that know how to close out games. We get Alec Burks and Dante Exum who missed almost all of last year and all of last year. Add to that a really good coach and we are all pretty excited here in Utah.I just don't understand Utah. They have underachieved the last 2 seasons and haven't made the playoffs yet with that roster and yet everyone considers them a lock? I don't see them as a 4 seed.
TJ Warren has been on FIRE for the Suns and the Thunder just scrap like crazy I really like the move they made for Grant and it frees up time for Jofferey who is fairly decent/athletic big man.Bledsoe with the buzzer beater, Utah wins again, holding their opponents to a stifling PPG. Westbrook beats the Clippers, kudos.

The Warriors are the Lakers now.
Pelicans looking rough to start this season
Lakers beat gs by 20 after beating atl on the road. I use to hang my hat on the fact we weren't the worst team in California.![]()
Speak for yourself. The Warriors may be #2, with a bullet, but the gd lakers will always be most hated with me, because my hatred of the gd lakers is not dependent on their personnel, or their system. It's dependent on location and laundry.Is it wrong that I was a little bit happy to see the Lakers win tonight? The Warriors have become the new Lakers.
Yes it is, because the Warriors didn't steal our championship away from us in 2002 when the NBA made the kings play 5 on 8.Is it wrong that I was a little bit happy to see the Lakers win tonight? The Warriors have become the new Lakers.

The Pelicans just announced that Lance Stephenson has a groin injury that will require surgery and sideline him indefinitely.

Re: Lance Stephenson injury-Pelicans could be in line for the hardship exception and add a 16th player after the Nov. 10 at Milwaukee game.
Well, they do play us on Tuesday, so...At this rate, the Pelicans may never win an NBA game again.
