I mean, generally speaking, you don't usually see, you know,
00:03
more than five teams in any conference being so many games
00:06
over 500. This was the old mo of the Western Conference
00:09
and the NBA and we're back there again. I mean, look at
00:11
Minnesota. They're 35 and 29, but yet they've had the most
00:14
success against Oklahoma City of any team in the NBA. So I
00:17
mean, to me, these are all really dangerous teams. And I
00:20
think that's what will make the playoffs fun. Gilbert is I
00:23
just don't think you're going to see like sweeps or anything
00:25
like that. I think long series are coming in the West.
00:28
Right? It's a story. We talk and tell every year, but this
00:31
year more than others. Everything's going to really
00:34
depend on matchups and how this bracket shapes out in the
00:37
Western Conference. When I look at it right now, I kind of
00:39
look at the tears, obviously, okay, see in a tear of its own
00:42
the Lakers and the Nuggets. I think are two teams who have
00:44
superstars on the team and they've been there before. So I
00:47
like them a little more than I like a team like Memphis or
00:50
Houston who have run into some difficult times recently and
00:53
Memphis is dealing with the injury to Jaron Jackson Jr.
00:55
Hopefully he can get back on the floor soon. Golden State.
00:58
I think is on the heels of Memphis and Houston. They're
01:00
continuing to win Steph Curry, new energy playing alongside
01:03
Jimmy Butler. I wouldn't be surprised. They continue to
01:05
move up the standings before the season's over and Minnesota.
01:08
I think is a bit of a wild card. Anthony Edwards. We saw
01:10
what they did last year. They're starting to figure some
01:12
things out, figure some lineup things out. If they can get
01:15
Julius Randall figure out the best role he can play on that
01:18
team. I think that that Minnesota team could be a first
01:21
round exit or they can make a run to the Western Conference
01:23
finals and all cards on the table for a lot of teams in the
01:25
Western Conference.
