It's all about the Wild Wild West in the NBA. Who the heck would have though that Kobe and his Lakers would be the top team in the West with about 20 games left in the regular season? Well, even hardcore Lakers fans must be surprised by how glowy things are looking right now for them. With Gasol pefectly fitting in and Bynum yet to return glory days might very well be back in LakerLand.
Rockets who were stuggling a month back and two places behind on Playoff Spots have eclipsed Dallas to get into the 3rd place of an extremely competitive SW Division. They currently own this season's hottest streak of 15 games and has managed to pull off the last three games pretty easily without their SuperStar Chinese center Yao Ming.
Mavs and Suns, like I expected have not been doing well at all since they made trades for two proven but clearly fading players in Kidd and Shaq. Hornets and Jazz are also winning with Chris Paul and Deron Williams pulling mad numbers in the assists section of Stats. SA Spurs are still the champions and are coasting along well.
