This season has been absolutely crazy, especially in the Western Conference. Let’s run some of the ridiculous storylines, using the bullet points, the Lazy Man’s Best Friend (h/t Xiane):
- The Warriors went down to only two All-Stars (gasp!) and struggled. They would have to win out to get to 73 wins.
- The Los Angeles Lakers lost quite a few early, but are suddenly sitting in the fifth spot in the West. But they lost to Orlando twice.
- The Denver Nuggets have looked mediocre at times and positively unbeatable during others.
