The west does seem like more the wildcard at this point......But 1-10 in the west it feels like such a coin toss. Gonna be a good playoffs out west this year.
True. Teams that are currently in the play-in can take out any team that's in the top 6. I think Nuggets is the most balanced team and will come out on top of the dangerous group. They also have enough experience unlike the Wolves and Thunder.
The east seems like it's relegated to either Boston or the Bucks. I really can't see anyone else truly challenging. Sixers are interesting because embid can straight dominate but injuries.
I still would not count out the Heat. They've been the dark horse and they've eliminated those three teams on a number of occasions now.
