Middle of last season, I always thought if Denver and LA met in the west finals. Denver would somehow came up on top. Unfortunely, George Karl
I think the 4 best teams in the west are:
1. Lakers
2. and 3. I 'd say Dallas or OKC ( I really like this team behind LA!)
4. Rockets. With Yao back, this team looks dangerous on paper !
Denver will have to surpise me this year! Same goes for phx
