It's an NBA all star break round table edition the top of the western conference. I think all of us belong to be here or do none of us belong to be here because the sons are just so much better than everyone else.

It is not locked on NBA but I would strongly suggest that for your second listen of the day I super appreciate you making locked on jazz the first listen if that's what you just did or if you did locked on grizzlies with the great Sean Coleman.

We appreciate that Brendan clean of locked on sons and Cyrus with too many vows in his last name of locked on warriors.

Like what were they doing playing scrabble and they like ran like the like went into labor and they chose the leftover letters is like your last name.

I still haven't talked to my dad in 30 years because of that so now I'm just kidding but no I don't know what he was doing. I don't know he was thinking pleasure to be on the program though.

All right we've got a bunch of things we're going to run through the top of the west if you look at the bet online lines right now the sons are finally I believe for the first time all year.

Near the favorites to win the west.

Crazy months later we got there.

Last time I checked the sons went to the NBA finals last year won the west and yet I go to bet online and the sons are finally plus 175 to win the west the warriors are plus 190 the jazz or plus 675 and Memphis is plus 1200.

I have my questions I have my questions what we'll get to those at lighter time though.

So let's start actually with the fact that the Phoenix sons are on pace to win 68 games and yet the MVP does not include a conversation about Chris Paulie Devon Booker the league is talking about the Brooklyn nets and what they're going to look like like is there a chance here.

I think that the Phoenix sons are actually a dominant basketball team that's way better than everybody else in the rest of the NBA not just the west but in the NBA.

Yeah I think there's absolutely a case to be made and and the record is one part of that the fact that I think they've won 18 out of 19 now after an 18 game winning streak in last calendar year like they have left no question unanswered about their performance this year but they also have been dominant in the clutch like there's really not a part of the resume.

You can poke a hole in we can talk about the MVP if you guys want to but this is a team that is thought of I think in those oh it's the hawks in 2015 or it's the raptors of some of those years.

It's not that they are elite they are historically dominant right now and I could totally see a world where they just really storm through.
