Western Conference and NBA Finals

15 Questions for the West

Southwest:
San Antonio- Does Tim Duncan and Co. have one more run in them?
New Orleans- With CP3 and David West, can you ever truly consider them out of it?
Dallas- Is "The Matrix" reloaded?
Houston- Is Daryl Morey the top GM with the way he has constructed this team and lured Trevor Ariza away from LA?
Memphis- Are there going to be enough basketballs to go around?

Northwest:
Denver- How awesome is Chauncey Billups leadership and winning?
Utah- When will Jerry Sloan get a Coach of the Year recognition from his peers?
Oklahoma City- Can Kevin Durant take the team to the next level and get them to the playoffs?
Portland- I personally think they take a step back and stop listening to Nate McMillan, but I could be wrong. What say you?
Minnesota- So when exactly is Ricky Rubio going to be a T-Wolf if ever?

Pacific:
LA Lakers- Is Ron Artest that much of an upgrade to the Lakers to mess with the chemistry from last year?
Phoenix- Will 7 Seconds or Less return in the desert?
LA Clippers- Is Blake another pawn in the Clippers Curse?
Golden State- Anytime you can start 4 guards and one center you gotta do it, right?
Sacramento- With some of the best fans in the NBA, will the team be staying in Sacramento and if so does Arco need to go or get upgraded.

Playoffs:
1) Lakers
2) Nuggets
3) Spurs
4) Suns
5) Hornets
6) Mavs
7) Jazz
8) Thunder

Western Semis: Lakers over Suns, Spurs over Nuggets
Western Finals: Spurs over Lakers

NBA Finals: Spurs over Magic in 6 games
With the Spurs healthy, I think they have one more run in them and I like their additions of Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess, and DaJuan Blair. They seemed to get younger overnight but Manu is the key for the Spurs. Can he stay healthy? With Dwight Howard and VC, I think the Magic will get back to the Finals but just against a different opponent but with the same result. Looking forward to another awesome NBA season.
