Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

2010-2011 NBA Blog Previews Northwest Division: Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trailblazers

Call this the playoff division. Every single team in this division (minus the lowly Timberwolves) made it to the West's Elite 8 last season. Can they go 4 for 5 again this season? Well, I'm not so sure. I'm curious how well Al Jefferson will do as Carlos Boozer's replacement, Melo looks to be gone by February from Denver, and it's anyone's guess how healthy the Blazers will be.

Definitely Oden...

He’s a modern day Shawn Bradley! So much expectations with no results! Everyone thought, including me, that Oden was gonna make an already good Blazers team, an elite one. Wrong! I hope Portland releases him, he joins the Warriors and becomes the greatest center of all time! Highly unlikely but I can dream. OBEY ODEN.

Scary division

As a basketball fan I hope the Nuggets and Jazz suck – I hate the Nuggets and am sick of Melo, as for the Jazz I just am tired of them beating us all the time.
Love OKC and Portland and think they are locks if they stay healthy. However, OKC kinda snuck up on people last year (in the same way I hope Warriors can this year) and this year teams won’t take them so lightly.
Minnesota, thank you for making Warriors look not so bad. Beasley and Love as the starting front court? really? This makes our two white boys up front look intimidating.

Can Greg Oden play more than 70 gtames. that is as much games he has played in his career. As for Beasley, rambis is having play at SF. Bad idea, he is not that good a ball handler to do that.

But who is he?
