Western Conference 2010-11 Standing Predictions:
To make it into the playoffs in the Western Conference is a huge accomplishment. You never know who will make the playoffs until the last game of the season and that's why everyone watches. The top team has the be the Los Angeles Lakers, but they have shown weakness and I wouldn't be surprised if a healthy Trail-Blazers or young Thunder upset them in the playoffs. Veteran teams like the Spurs and Mavericks will look to make it pass the first round, while the Suns and Jazz just hope to snatch one of the final spots. I wouldn't be surprised if the Grizzlies or Warriors push them out this season. The last place T-Wolves will even be fun to watch with all of there new additions. Now this is how I see the Western Conference shaping out this season.
