Howdy, y’all.
If you’re anything like me, you are extremely ready for the NBA season to resume. But if I’m being real, I’m not sure if that’s because the All-Star Game felt so uncompetitive that I really just need something else to erase it from my mind, or that I’m just that hungry for basketball.
Either way: I was prepared to write something on the most noteworthy story lines throughout the entire league for the final two months of play. Then I realized: Just about all the stuff I’m most curious to watch stems from Western Conference clubs. So instead of casting a league-wide net, I scaled back to just the questions currently hovering over the wild Wild West.
