Can anyone stop the Oklahoma City Thunder from winning the Northwest Division? The Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Portland Trail Blazers are loading up for a run at OKC, while the Utah Jazz are finally ready to start winning games.
Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize enter the Northwest Division War Room to predict how all five teams will finish in the 2026-27 NBA standings.
Are the Thunder a lock for 60 wins after trading Lu Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe? Does adding DeMar DeRozan give Nikola Jokic and Denver enough firepower to challenge OKC? And can LaMelo Ball help Anthony Edwards and Minnesota take the next step? Then, Portland has assembled one of the NBA's most fascinating backcourts with Ja Morant and Damian Lillard. Could the Blazers make the playoffs? And with Darryn Peterson joining Utah, is it possible that ALL FIVE Northwest teams could compete for postseason spots?

Nick Angstadt & Ryan Blackburn break down Tyrese Haliburton's return after 472 days, and how his pace and playmaking, plus Ivica Zubac in the middle, lifted a deep Indiana Pacers team past the Minnesota Timberwolves. The hosts look at the instant chemistry between Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball, and debate whether Minnesota has enough ball handling behind its two stars. The conversation moves to Portland's long-awaited Damian Lillard and Ja Morant starting lineup, with a debate over whether one of them is benched by Christmas after the Blazers struggled to defend a short-handed Golden State Warriors team. They then react to Aday Mara's perfect 10-for-10 night for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams' preseason debuts, and the Milwaukee Bucks' odd depth. The hosts look at the Orlando Magic's livelier offense under Sean Sweeney and Cameron Boozer's promising start for the Memphis Grizzlies. They wrap with Caleb Wilson's back-and-forth with Dillon Brooks in Bulls vs Suns, and a spicy Dillon Brooks vs Devin Booker debate.

Who wins the Southeast Division after one of the wildest offseasons in the NBA? Giannis Antetokounmpo is now with the Miami Heat, the Charlotte Hornets traded LaMelo Ball, the Orlando Magic have a new coach and the Washington Wizards added AJ Dybantsa.
Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize enter the Southeast Division War Room to predict how the Heat, Magic, Hawks, Hornets and Wizards will finish after just three wins separated first and fourth place last season.
Does adding Giannis immediately make Miami the favorite? Can Orlando finally turn its talent into results under Sean Sweeney? How dangerous is Atlanta? And what does Charlotte look like in the post-LaMelo era?
Then, who finishes last — and could all five teams realistically compete for the play-in? Plus, the guys debate which franchise has the best long-term outlook and reveal the players and storylines they're most excited to watch.
