Yeah, there's definitely at least 10 really good teams in the West. I would be careful about putting New Orleans and Portland that high, though. I think there's a decent chance one or both of them will miss the playoffs. Portland just doesn't have the horses and overachieved last year, and New Orleans has a really unbalanced roster without any quality wings.
Right now I think the only sure things in the West are GSW, Houston, Utah and the Lakers. OKC is also probably like 75% to make it in, so that leaves 3 spots for about 7 or 8 teams to fight over. The West is going to be such a bloodbath!!
