0 comments by on 2/12/2015

In the stacked Western Conference, it’s very easy to get lost in the shuffle. With teams like the 42-9 Golden State Warriors and 39-14 Memphis Grizzlies, along with five other 30+ win teams at the All-Star break in the conference, there are extremely talented squads everywhere.

Really “Psycho T”? Raptors guard Lou Williams was leading the fast break and had big man Tyler Hansbrough trailing.
