Which Western team will be left out of the NBA playoffs?

[Betallsports]

Which Western Team will be Sh*t out of Luck, come the NBA Playoffs ?

Hornets

Jazz

Mavericks

Rockets

Or The Suns ??? @)

 

[HacheMan]

Going to be New Orleans or Phoenix, and I was going to say the Hornets based on that division they are in & the games they have left against San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas, but then I looked at the Suns' remaining schedule which looks tougher....

[PO69]

Those numbers are good, but they hardly tell the whole story. Phoenix is playing much better of late and that would not be shown in the standings or numbers above. Likewise, New Orleans is playing much worse lately

 

[FairWarning]

Are those teams that good, or are those bottom six teams that bad?

 

[Biggamer3]

I think the Rockets are the worst of the bunch, wouldnt shock me to see them tank

 

[RobFunk]

I will say PHX. They seemed a bit invigorated with Gentry as coach. But they just got bitch slapped at home by a KG - less Boston team. And plus do you really think Shaq can keep playing at this level down the stretch?!

When healthy they are an elite team. Injury riddled almost all year though.

Tmac out for season, Alston traded, this team is done IMO

Big Rocket fan here and I'm glad t-mac is gone...Lowery and Brooks are better than Alston...Rockets make the playoffs IMO

 

[JakeT.]

Mavericks could easily collapse. Houston rallied without TMac last year and I really like Brooks at the point.
