Rule out Denver just for discussion purposes, maybe Murray or Jokic gets hurt. Who comes out of the west?

To me it seems like every other team currently falls into one of four categories:

1. Playing Well But Is Young and/or Inexperienced (Rockets, Thunder, Wolves)

2. Have Talent But Are Kind Of A Mess (Lakers, Suns, Clippers, Kings, Warriors)

3. Suck (Spurs, Blazers, Pelicans, Jazz, Grizzlies)

4. Mavericks (Mavs)

The biggest question is which of the messes can turn it around or stay healthy, and are any of the young teams ready to break through?

Am I just a biased Mavs fan, or is this a fair way to break down the conference currently?

Really excited to see how Dallas matches up with groups 1 & 2. I’m not scared of any of them, but the Wolves are an especially tough matchup.
