*They won't be. They'll reel off some 8 out of 9 and 13 out of 17 stretches and be solidly in the 3rd-5th seed by the time the playoffs come. No need to prove themselves in the regular season at this point.

Exactly. The Dubs thrive on being an underdog. Their “B” team lost to a good Pelicans team by 11 points. Poole, Wiseman etc will find their footing. Hard not to see them representing the West again.
Meanwhile, the league’s handling of “L’Affaire Irving” continues to be an utter travesty.
