The Lakers are legit. This team without Bynum can go on a run. With Bynum, the Bynum pre-injury, they can win it.

The Suns are a farce. 5-12 against playoff teams. They have no defense. They traded their two best defensive players.

I still think San Antonio has to be the favorite by virtue that they are the defending champs. The Lakers are right there. And right now I have to say the Jazz are right there behind them as much as that kills me to admit. With all the hype around the Gasol, Shaq, and Kidd trades the Jazz have flown under the radar with one of the best additions this season in Korver. Deron Williams is the best point guard in the league in my opinion. But 1-10 in the west are good teams.

This should be a great finish to the end of the season and the western conference playoffs should be amazing.
