Top 4 seeds in the West are:
OKC
Spurs
Warriors
Clips
The next tier of teams is:
Memphis
Houston
The next tier is:
Mavs
Blazers
Wolves
Lakers
Nuggets
Next tier -
Pellicans -
Jazz
Out of it:
Suns
Kings
I really like the Warriors chances to win the West but those other 3 up there are really tough. I think OKC found something in Steve Adams and Lamb is going to be really good off the bench. I think I'd pick the Thunder right now but I'm sure at some point in the season I'll pick the Spurs then the Clips then the Warriors.
Maybe the Mavs can crack the Griz/Rox tier but even though I think they make the playoffs, I believe it is more likely they miss out than hit the top 6. one of the Jazz or Pelicans may step up and compete for a playoff spot but ceratinly not both. The Jazz have the power game but I like the star power that the Pelicans may have in Davis and Holiday. If gordon and Evans are healthy they won't be fun to play at all.
