PODCAST: We finish our Gyro Step division previews with the whole Western conference
The extremely short version is we're not very impressed with the West.
The Gyro Step division previews conclude with a three-for-one special, as Rohan Katti and I go through all three divisions in the Western Conference, In addition to win totals, we also decided on the spot if each team involved could win the West and face the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals, if the Bucks can get back there.
There's slightly less slander, but not because we’re worried about these teams — honestly there was less spice because we’re simply not super excited about the current state of the West. Between injuries (Denver, Golden State, Clippers) and bizarre offseasons (Lakers, Blazers) we don’t see an overwhelming favorite here, although we did agree on one team we see as the most likely to make it through.
We went division by division and then in order of their finish last season, so Utah is up first and we concluded with the Houston Rockets.
As always, thank you for reading/listening/watching! We plan to keep live-streaming Gyro Step episodes, although if you tuned in on Sunday evening you got abruptly cut off about halfway through — not really sure why, although thankfully the audio and video versions are complete and unaffected by that issue.
