The East’s top teams in the West are still better and have better chances against Golden State.Note:
If Utah (49-31) wins either of its final two games, it would give the Western Conference five 50-win teams this season. And that would mark the 32nd time since 2000 that a 50-win team will open the playoffs on the road — with all 32 of those teams having hailed from the West. The last 50-win team in the East to start the playoffs on the road was the 1998 Atlanta Hawks.
I have no faith in none of those West teams matching up with GS especially Denver. The top 4 in the East all match up well and have competed and won games against GS. Utah can win 50 but they ain’t doing shyt.
The West has been so good because of the organizational stability of its small market teams (Utah, Portland, Denver, San Antonio) those teams also always seem to dominate at home.
