Here are the Western Conference Standings: Only 8 make it. WHich of these teams won't make it in? I'll tell you this, though, the Western Conference Playoffs are going to be great! For us basketball fans in the East and especially Knicks fans, where the brand of basketball is unwatchable, the West is going to be great to watch.

If I had to guess, I'd go with the top 7 and Denver passing Golden State for the 8th spot.

Wow. You think both NO and Phoenix are going to slip?

I think they both will make it. I think Houston is going to fall out, 17 wins in a row and all - and Denver will move up.

As good as the West is, I think the all the teams that are in right now will stay in expect Denver will pass up Golden State

It looks like it might be Dallas that is left out. Depends on how the rest of the team picks up after Dirk.

Yeah, those injuries are the kinds of thinks you can never predict.

But hey... maybe Dallas can pull it together and win without him, much like the Rockets did without Yao?

From what I have seen, the Celtics can handle anyone from the West. They have been absolutely dominant against western division teams this year. The Hornets and Jazz have given them the most trouble. Their biggest problem will be getting by the Pistons or Cavs.
