Utah Phoenix and Houston are probably going to stay right where they are....in the middle of the pack. However, the race for the #1 seed is going to come down to 3 teams(SA, LA and NO) The fight for the 8th and last spot is a going to go down to the wire betw Denver, Golden St and Dallas. It would be ironic if Golden State takes the 8 seed away from Dallas, as they are the very team that ruined a dream season last year, by popping them in the mouth in rd 1 last year. Would Mavs fans start to hate GS more than they do the Spurs if they do take the 8 seed from Dallas?
Who will be able to survive the last 2 weeks betw LA, SA and NO for the right to have HCA throughout the Western playoffs? I do not think anyone has an idea at this point. I think SA has the hardest remaining schedule, but they also have the most experience under pressure, and there will be pressure in these last 2 weeks, so I like their chances to pull this off.
I hope Orlando pops the Hornets tomorrow night, so SA would be able to control their own destiny(unless NO wins out). Kobe in one technical foul away from missing a game and we all know that LA would have no chance to win a game w/o him, so in essence, their chances for the number 1 seed rest on Kobe's emotions in these last 2 weeks.
Last year at this time, the 1-3 spots were just about set in stone, so this is really a lot of fun this year just looking at the standings every day. Every day is important, because you can have a team drop 2 spots or gain 2 spots, and that is unprecedented; this is incredible.

suns are playing better than the lakers are right now. i wouldn't be shocked if the lakers drop to the middle.
- spurs
- hornets
- suns
- jazz
- rockets or lakers
- lakers or rockets
- warriors or nuggets
- nuggets or warriors
gettin through all of that is going to be a ... & then comes the east (bos or det). jeeez
Does anyone see a possible sweep in there? lol
Even without Gasol and Bynum, the Lakers have a pretty easy remainder of the schedule. Five home games, plus a Clippers road game which will essentially be a home game, and the two road games are against Portland and Sacramento. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers finish the season 7-1 or 6-2.
The Hornets have a relatively easy schedule but four back-to-back sets in the final 10 games, all four second games of the B2B being on the road, although two of them are against Miami and Minnesota.
The Suns have a pretty difficult end of the season schedule, facing Denver twice, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, and Golden State. They haven't proven to be very good against great compe ion and I suspect they will not finish strong.
The Spurs have a so-so end of the year schedule, four home games, four road games, only one back-to-back set. And, some easy games against Seattle and Portland. They do face the Jazz at Utah and the Lakers in LA so those will be two difficult games.
It's pretty interesting to see how things turn out.
im pretty sure he meant what he posted..
maybe you should have just posted another comment, saying what you thought.

I think NO finishes #1, and the battle for #2 might well be decided in the Spurs' Sunday ABC game vs the Lakers. SA is currently 1 game ahead; a victory in that game will put them 2 up and give them the tie-break, which would mean LA would have to beat SA by 3 games or more among the rest of the games that each squad plays.
we will NOT end up #1. unfortunately Jazz will clobber us in Utah. So wether we end up at #2 or #3 will depend on that game vs. Lakers
