Hardwood Knocks is once again joined by Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes (@gt_hughes) to break down the entire Pacific Division, in addition to discussing the impact Russell Westbrook's latest knee surgery could have on the Thunder and his partnership with Dennis Schroder. The most pressing topics from this episode: the progression of the Lakers' youth; the direction—or lack thereof—for the Clippers; Phoenix's ceiling with Devin Booker as its best player; the Warriors battling championship complacency and a dearth of shooting; the Kings continuing to #Kangz; and other things!
