The West is so fun to watch this year. So many teams are beating each other up and it's damn close. Funny thing is that Houston and Utah are still outside of the Playoffs. It's going to be interesting to see who ends up making it. Personally, I think Portland and Golden State will fall out with Utah and Houston replacing them.
As long as Golden State is out, I'll be happy. Less risk for the fans. I feel comfortable against anyone else, although the Celtics scare me for the Final. If we can lose to Miami, I think we can do the same against the Celtics. I guess we'll have a better idea once Boston comes to play Dallas, San Antonio and Phoenix.
I do hope that Portland continues their great play. Seeing such a young team doing so well, even without Oden, is very good for the league.
