Western Wildness
As of this post, there are already three (L)Eastern Conference teams that have their playoff berths sealed. But we all know the real action and the drama will be in the West, where only the fates know how the playoff landscape will turn out. SI.com’s Jack McCallum sizes up the possibilites.
There are just so many factor to consider. With Dirk injured, the Mavs are hard-pressed to maintain decent rankings. One more T, and Kobe could be suspended for an important game. The Suns would like to avoid the Hornets and everyone else would like to avoid the Warriors. Crazy crazy season, that’s what it is.
