NBA Update


We're about an eighth of the way through the 2017-18 NBA qualification round, and here would be participants if the playoffs had started today: the Celtics, Pistons, Magic, Wizards (!), Raptors, 76ers, Knicks and Hornets from the East and the Rockets, Timberwolves, Warriors, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Clippers and Jazz from the West. I am rooting for the Wizards in the East and the Pelicans (ninth place) in the West. Reminder: The Warriors beat the Cavaliers for the NBA17 championship.
