The NBA West Thunders to the Finish
It's all good. The jockeying for position at the top. The scrambling to avoid being 50-win or near 50-win team left out of the playoffs, which is something that will be unprecedented. John Hollinger has a fine look at the nine teams in the middle of the scrum for the eight playoff spots and what the outlook is for each here on espn.com. He likes New Orleans for the #1 seed, with Golden State the unluckiest 51-win team in NBA history.
Oh, and while we are here, please do remember that Chris Paul is the NBA MVP. Thanks.
