Western Conference Playoffs

     This year the Western Conference playoff race has been tight as it usually is. Although the Thunder are the favorites this year, there are many teams that could win a series or two and upset them if they are hot. The playoff picture goes as follows, (as of 3/25):

1.      San Antonio Spurs (53-17)

1.      Tony Parker is back (averaging 21 ppg, 7.6 apg before his injury) and ready to play so the Spurs should be able to hold onto their 1 and 1/2 game lead over the Thunder. Manu Ginobili is finally back and playing like himself again (averaging 12.1 ppg and 4.7 apg). Popavich is resting his guys and getting them ready for the playoffs as always. Duncan is holding down the paint for probably one of his last successful season he’s averaging 9.9 boards per game, and 17.3 points per game.
