This is the great mystery to be cleared up in the Western Conference
We reveal which teams can act as a pivot and enter the fight for the ten postseason spots, for which there is maximum parity.
After several weeks of competition in the NBA, it is clear that we will experience an exciting season in the Western Conference, with ten teams seemingly destined to battle until the end for the postseason spots, and some others that may sneak into that fight and cause major surprises.
A season filled with emotions and equality was already foreseen in the Western Conference, but just 10 or 11 games for each team have been enough for us to realize that all expectations will be exceeded. It is evident that there are several teams aiming for glory and that the overall level is so high that we can already see which franchises are heading towards tanking and which ones are set to compete for it all. Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers have no chance, but there are two other teams that can interfere with the top ten giants.
- There are 11 teams fully capable of making the playoffs and two more with the potential to surprise
Considering this, we see how both San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans are currently in a gray area, but they could become a serious threat to the established powerhouses represented by the Mavs, Kings, Rockets, Timberwolves, Clippers, Lakers, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Thunder, Suns, and Warriors. One of these teams will have to miss the playoffs, but if the Texans and the Louisianans keep evolving, we might witness the downfall of strong championship contenders.
