The 2021-22 NBA season rolls along in Week 3 and there is plenty to discuss. Between the altercation of Nikola Jokic and the Miami Heat, to Stephen Curry casually dropping 50 points on the Atlanta Hawks, to trade rumors beginning to heat up, there is plenty of news spanning across the entire league. 

Right now, the Eastern Conference is packed with talented teams, as just about half the conference has at least seven wins and in the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. 

With Stephen Curry doing what he does best in ‘The Bay Area’ and Donovan Mitchell continuing to grow as a superstar talent, these two teams are shaping up to be the two teams to beat in the Western Conference this season. 

And what about LeBron James and Co.?  With James out due to an abdominal injury, the Lakers have really struggled to gain any traction out West and are currently teeter-tottering between being a legit contender to being a real pretender this season.
