Here are the tough Remaining games for each team in March & April. Yes I included Portland and Denver as tough teams! Most of these teams will face each other so obviously it will make it even more tougher! So who gets number #1 and who has the easiest road there?

People can't stop making new threads of the West for 10 damn minutes.

Why isn't Houston in the mix?

I would assume because they are not within 1.5 games of 1st place. But any of the top 9 deserve mention.

I think they have the same record as Utah. And I agree, any of the top nine teams have a shot.

But Utah is not on the pole and their future games are not listed.

Well color me silly.......

Yao is out for the season, so there is no way Houston can get 1, maybe not even 8th

I'm not putting other teams because I don't think they will come close to the 1st spot!

And I voted Spurs, I think they are on fire right now!

Oh thanks

i voted mavs, cause iirc they have the best record against the good teams and struggle with the worse. so having 15 games against good teams doesn't hurt.

As much as I love Chris Paul... please stop overrating NO and putting them as a centender. I don't care what their record is but they are near the bottom in the West in terms of having a chance to win it all.

lakers have 3 more games with the mavs jeez
eh i'll still take them for #1

Those LAL v. DAL games will help to decide the West. A 2-1 advantage for either time will end up being huge at the end of the season.

I'm going with the Lakers on this one. The have it better than anybody down the road. I say the Lakers will finish with 58-61 wins.
