None of those teams listed are better, I put the clippers head to head with us though for now. Denver is also a great team.

Usually teams 4-8 are only a few games apart so anything goes in the West. Warriors were great without KD in the RS the past few years so I wouldn't rule them out of a top 3 seeding, especially once Klay returns for the 2nd part of the season. Nuggets are the deepest team so they should be favored to get the #1 seed. Lakers have the best duo in the league, James is rested, AD is about to hit his peak and we

Gotta add in Anthony’s usual minimum of 20 games injured

Utah was a 50 win team last year and got significantly better in the offseason, yet you don’t have them in the playoffs. They are a legit contender and easily top 4 in the West. They are deeper than the Nuggets, who you call the deepest team in the West. You’re sleeping hard on them.

Oh yeah you're right, I'll make a quick change .

Agree with a lot but you forgot Utah

Yeah, there are so many potential 50-win teams someone will miss the Playoffs by a game or two, couldn't even get to Utah before I already filled 8 out off the top of my head.

Jazz aren't questionable. Exit Bricky and Favors and enter Conley and Bojan. Great defense and now great offense. Good luck!

Completely overlooked that roster for some reason, you could make a case for 10 teams out West for the Playoffs, maybe 11 if you're a homer of one of the weaker teams.. Dallas and OKC could easily be in the Playoffs as well. 3-8 is a very tough call and some of these teams aren't done with their off-season moves yet.

It's ridiculous to say that the Lakers are 8th at best though, they have the two best players out West and both are 100% healthy right now, along with a 3rd option who should take another step forward to becoming an all-star.
