Yesterday we talked about the East and how there are only a few teams that are likely to do some damage in the postseason. Today let’s take a look at the battlefield that is the West.
From the Timberwolves at 1 to the Suns at 6, it’s not an overstatement to say any of those 6 teams can make the NBA Finals (Timbs, Nugs, Thunder, Clippers, Mavs, Suns). All 6 teams have an All-NBA caliber player and with how these teams have been looking recently, anybody could win on any given night.
If the playoffs started today, we’d have another installment of Mavs vs Clippers, we’d have KD return to OKC, And the Nuggets and Timberwolves get two strong teams out of the play-in.
The Pelicans and Zion have been looking strong as of late, and have the potential to come out of the play-in and cause some problems for whoever they match up with.
The playoffs on the East will be something to keep an eye on, the West however is going to be must-watch TV every single night! Could the Nuggets repeat? Yes. Could the ‘superteams’ that are the Clippers or Suns make it? Yes. Could a young upstart high seed like the Timberwolves or Thunder get there? Yes. We’ve got a lot of different things that could happen. Are the Lakers going to be a problem for any team they match up with? Absolutely.
Anything could happen, we’re in for an exciting postseason.
Oh, one more thing. The hottest team in the NBA right now with the longest win streak in the league…The Golden State Warriors. Get your popcorn ready and poppin', because it’s almost time!
