Cedric Maxwell and Josue Pavón preview the NBA’s Western Conference. Pavon breaks down his top five teams in the conference, only to realize that there could be up to six teams worthy of being mentioned. Maxwell is reluctant to rank five teams due to the competitiveness of what’s expected to be a tight battle before the two breakdown which teams should be heavily considered and which teams will find themselves on the outside looking in.    Are the Clippers the top team in the west as Pavón believes they are? How will the Lakers fare with LeBron James and Anthony Davis joining forces, and will there be trouble in paradise with Rajon Rondo in the mix? Max gives his take on the Rondo effect, reflecting on his final days in Boston and questioning if he can make a positive impact with the Lakers this season. Tune in to find out what Max had to say, as the two dive deep into the 2019-20 season preview.     Support Max's Podcast by Supporting His Sponsor BetOnline.AG -    With Football is half way over?!?!
