NBA Western Conference

Western Conference
Team GB
1. * San Antonio --
2. * LA Lakers 0.5
3. New Orleans 2.0
4. * Utah 4.0
5. Houston 2.5
6. Phoenix 3.5
7. Dallas 5.0
8. Golden State 6.0
9. Denver 7.0

LA goes 9-1 in their last 10, and lose a game to the Spurs. Houston has won 17 in a row and still is 4th in the league. Phoenix as close to being out of the playoffs as they are to #1.

It's a fantastic race. It's gotten to the point where I will watch ANY Western Conference game on TV... if I can stay awake.

I'm going to be [censored]ed come playoff time when I won't be able to see half of the Western Conference games.

u guys arent kidding. One of the closest races for the playoffs that I can remember. It will be interesting to see if the lakers can get bynum and ariza back for the playoffs. IMHO if they get those guys back (and they can contribute) they will win the west. The spurs however remain the team to beat.

Go Lakers

Assuming Devner passes Golden State:

San Antonio- Denver
LA - Dallas
New Orleans-Phoenix
Utah- Houston

Those are 4 great matchups. Hopefully the NBA fixed that dumbass scheduling problem they heve where game 1 is on Sunday and then game 2 isn't until the follwing Friday/Saturday. That blows.

DENVER (AP) -- These Denver Nuggets are starting to show they could much more than the first-round fodder they always are in the playoffs.

Now, if they can just make it that far.

Allen Iverson scored 29 points despite spraining his right ring finger in the first half and the Nuggets ended San Antonio's 11-game winning streak, 109-96, on Friday night.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Lakers didn't have to cross the line. They were doing just fine behind it.

Derek Fisher scored 17 points, Kobe Bryant had 16 and the Lakers went on a 3-point shooting spree in the second half of a 119-82 rout of the Clippers on Friday night.

"I think what we did is that we stepped up our pressure," Bryant said. "Try to make them play at our pace, or execute things that they are not used to doing, and our shooters knocked down some big shots to blow the game open."
