Deadspin's 2020-21 NBA Preview — Pacific Division: Stuck between LeBron & a hard place
The Pacific division title (if that means anything to anyone anymore) has been passed around by Clippers, Warriors, and Lakers for over a decade.

The NBA will definitely expansion its way out of this pandemic hole

For some inexplicable reason, there is a conversation happening on the interwebs debating the merits of Tim Duncan vs Anthony Davis.
