So far in West in my opinion:

You have 6 top teams all within 5 games (in loss column) and will vye for seeding all year long:

LAL, Den, LAC, Mavs, Rox, Jazz

Then you have A loner in 7th (OKC) who are 3 back and 3 up on 6th/8th place.

Then you have 6 teams within 1 game (loss column) fighting for 8 seed:

Port, SAS, SAC, Suns, Min, Mem.  These teams will fight tank vs playoff seed all year.  Some will fall back fast.

OKC could still hit a bad patch or trade key players and fall.  Currently have too many good players to tank and youngsters are learning fast.  Still without Diallo last month.  Robes all year.  And Gallo last few games.  Wondering if Gallo is on block and being cautious.

Still so much BBto play. Portland is team needing to add player to get into fight.
