I guess that's the point of making these jerseys anyway, but at least something like El Valle has a connection to something people actually call the general Phoenix area. I'm sure there aren't many people outside of Portland who know why they're called Rip City, and that doesn't stop them from making the jerseys.

In other news, Michael Beasley had 30 points (!) tonight in Melo's return to the Garden. LOL.

Michael Beasley can score. He puts up numbers whenever Porzingis sits

Shane Young posted this. I think it sums up the state of the NBA pretty well. Look at the Warriors and Rockets way up in the top-right. Interesting to look at the position of the Celtics and Cavs, too; excellent on one end, less so on the other end.

Yeah; they are "quietly" having a really great season. They have given their team and system an almost complete makeover and it's worked beautifully. They also have their rookie OG who is playing quite well. But nobody is talking about them.

I agree, the Raptors are low key good.

And yet the gap to the Rockets and Warriors is huge, plus the Celtics are significatly better on D while missing a very good player and the Spurs just got Kawhi back. Raps are both So Good and Not Good Enough.

I put the Raps and Wizards in the same group. Solid 50ish win teams with no shot at getting to the Finals, much less winning them. Hell, I think the Sixers could give those teams a scare in the playoff if they were to match up.
