As of now, which team in the West is the favorite?

[BUMP.]

Poll coming

[BlairForceDejuan]

I don't think there is a favorite.

[pauls931]

I'll go with the LA Rams.

[Ditty]

lol 2nd seed rockets

does anyone have the quote from the rockets fan saying they would be the 2nd seed at the end of the year?

I voted for them so there won't be any jinx

[Muser]

With the Spurs D recently you have to give it to L.A, although the gap is closer than some laker fans like to think it is.

lol rockets

[DeadlyDynasty]

The LakeShow is king of mountain till proven otherwise.

[elemento]

Rockets of course

Their frontcourt defense is amazing !! u just can't beat that

[ElNono]

The way Battier crossed over Kobe and won the game for them, you just have to think they're favored, tbh

[BlackSwordsMan]

Well its not the spurs or lakers.

[TE]

The Lakers, they the champs.

[frodo]

mavs, they stacked

the 32yr old is just a prime version of bruce bowen tbh, Kobe suffers low FG% everytime he faces battier's defense.

[Venti Quattro]

Right now LA has yet to put a solid run

[Pelicans78]

I gotta go with the Hornets. Once CP3 is 100% healthy and they establish Thornton in the rotation, they will be unbeatable.

[rayjayjohnson]

Jazz, because I hate the spurs and the lakers.

so just hope the Jazz finally get the 8th seed with Lakers & spurs ending 1st and 2nd seeds. Utah will give tough matches to any team imo.

Regardless of how things have progressed thus far, come playoff time the Lakers will be the team to beat. They are the 2-time defending champs for a reason.

Really? Have you watched the Jazz this season?

The jazz that will curb stomp the mavericks, if they managed to get out of the first round, of course.

A healthy Mavs team will easily beat the Jazz. Won't be close.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think any of the top 3 are legit contenders this season(so far), but right now, you would have to go:

1. LA
2. San Antonio
3. Dallas

The Lakers deserve respect, since they are the defending champs, and their size is still the biggest issue for other teams..

Spurs need to find consistent D, and Mavs need to find a #2 option..

Excuse rayj he's a little bitter at the moment.

I think a Mavs/ Jazz series would be very interesting but I like our size advantage against a smaller Utah team.

Spurs beat the Lakers already. Gotta give it to the Spurs.
