Thats fine BUT we still can't ignore the Clippers and Blazers getting significantly better. The Nuggets will still be hanging around as will the Suns.
Its going to be another race for #8 and a wrong bounce here or there and we could be facing the lottery no matter how hard we try. Its a legitimate possibility.
I mean these are the potential playoff teams in the West (in no specific order):
Lakers
Spurs
Hornets
Suns
Rockets
Jazz
Mavs
Nuggets
Clippers
Blazers
Warriors (maybe not now)
Thats 10-11 teams
