I think the standings vs. Which teams are actually best will look different this year. No way does GSW try too hard in the regular season. I could see them being the best team but finishing 4-5-6. To me it’s LAC that looks like the team that will run away with the 1 seed and also be a favorite. Minnesota is a team that will finish high in the standings but be garbage in the playoffs when Gobert gets played off the floor, so the opposite of GSW. Phoenix is a team primed for implosion. So are LAL. Memphis has injuries to Jackson and lost depth. Denver and Dallas are high floor teams that should finish top 6. New Orleans is a big wild card
1. LAC
2. DEN
