Which Western Confernece teams have a LEGIT chance to win it all?

I know the West is congested, but I'm still not buying into the idea that the inexperianced Jazz or Hornets can win the title. Nor do I believe that the old Suns can, they're two cornerstones will wear down and give out come postseason play.

To me, the only real contenders are LA, SA, Dallas and Houston. Everyone else is just fighting for the right to allow these teams practice on the way to round 2.

lakers and spurs imo. i'm picking the lakers to rep the west in the finals.

why are the jazz inexperienced? they did make it to the WCF last year.

basically, i think every team in the top 8 can make the finals except New Orleans (even though they have the MVP) and Golden State.

I still pick the Suns. Why? Because anything can happen. I love the fact that they are heavily discounted here. Thats probably the only reason why I stick around so much. Winning the O Brien is everything and it gets old being in the playoffs and being so close quite a few times. I have enjoyed watching the Suns be in the playoffs like it is standard fare for my team so winning games more than losing them has still been quite enjoyable. But yes, it has been frustrating to say the least.

The lack of defense and having killer instinct has gone way past the due date. The team does have the talent to compete with anybody and I do not doubt that one bit but it doesn't matter if you don't show it either. Part of being a good ball club is bringing it to every game and if you lose you cant say crap like "well we could have one if we turned it up a notch". If you lose you lose and the better team won. I will still stick by them and I dont doubt the talent but I do agree that the way the Suns coach plays mostly with a 3 rotation from the pine is hurting them.
