NBA Western Conference

Who do you like to win it and why? Personally, I'm a Utah fan and they are only a few games back of first place. Everyone should watch the game on the 29th, Utah @ New Orleans on ESPN. The Jazz killed the Hornets in the last game @ Utah, with Deron Williams absolutely shutting down Chris Paul. No matter what, this is going to be a wild second half of the season as all the teams battle for playoff positioning.

Utah has a really good team, and my team (Warriors) basically have no chance against them... but Im still mad that the Lakers got Gasol for a pick, a rookie, and Kwame Brown...rediculous.

If Bynum can come back and produce half as well as he did in the first half the Lakers are going to be damn hard to beat. Of course the playoffs isn't that large of a sample and just about any team in the NBA can win 4 of 7 from anyone else.

My team are the Spurs, The west is goning to be a tough battle as always. The top 5 west teams can easily beat the east.

I hate NBA basketball. And I use the term basketball loosely. It is just a bunch of ball hogs gunning away. There is no teamwork and the way it's played they'll soon be wearing the same equipment as the NFL players.

College BB is much better, and a good "team" can beat a bunch of high profile ball hogs.

But my cousin, Steve Luhm, is the Jazz' sports writer for the Salt Lake Tribune. He follows the team around the country.

I just can't seem to get into college sports.

When I moved to Tennessee a year and a half ago, I tried to get into the VOLs spirit, but it just doesn't work for me.

I even tried to watch a Titans game. That lasted about 5 minutes.

I guess you can take the boy out of Jersey, but you can't take the Jersey out of the boy.

It's like a fungus...

It doesn't matter who wins the west, the road to the NBA championship goes through Boston.

The Celts will be hanging the 17th banner in the fall.

There are many good, and useful fungi in the world, you know.

Spot on here unfortunately. Although the loss to Denver the other day was a bit of a shock.

Would like to see the Jazz beat the Spurs in the West to give them a chance at winning the title they deserved 15 years ago in the days of Stockton and Malone.
