Alright, a few weeks ago, I had put out "Who's the top 5 in the West?" And the near unanimous picks were Dalls, Phoenix, San Antonio, L.A. Lakers, and Houston Rockets.
Hit that fast forward button and we're in February now. Who's the top 5 now? Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio are pretty much DUHs. I think Utah has crept into that spot. I'll put Houston there for right now since L.A. has been floundering a bit.
Does anyone in the East really want to play Toronto right now? After Chicago made that comeback, I figured they would fold fast. But they stayed with it and won the game. They've won 11 out of 14 and now sit above the rest of the Atlantic. Not a great seat, but still, it's they're a conference leader with confidence right now. And in the East, that's all you can ask for right now.
