Both teams have an "easy" 3 or 4 games depending on Denver

Answer 1

The Warriors, definitely. The Mavs have gotten worse since 06. The Warriors know how to make a run at the end of a season, and it looks like Portland and GS will be taking the last 2 spots.

Answer 2

im not sold on the clippers yet. yes they look awesome on paper but we warrior fans know how injury prone baron is, and i know he will get hurt and camby will probably get hurt as well. im not sold on denver either, they were barely a playoff team and that was with camby, now without him, i think they now fall behind the pack (warriors, clippers, blazers, mavs, suns).  

Answer 3

Also, where would you place Clippers and Portland?

They both have a chance in the west conference.

Answer 4

Warriors have a better chance than the Mavs next season to make the playoffs.

Answer 5

I like how you've done your research, but the Warrior is going to be a 30-win team anyway.  They're not even going to be close to the 8th spot in the West.
