The west is so competitive and its so hard to get excited about a team that did nothing most of the year and had to rely on a 22 game win streak to make it to the playoffs. If that win streak was 10 games instead of 21 or 22, would they have even made the playoffs last year? And realistically, how many teams each year even get 10 game winning streaks? 2? 3?
So you're telling me that if the Rockets had a 10 game win streak only they were guaranteed to lose the next 12 games? Your whole post isn't even logical.
Then you have Portland #5 when they also won 13 games in a row(or some number close to that).
So basically, the LA Lakers that won 33 games in a row had to "rely" on that streak to get to the #1 seed, and if they only had a 10 game win streak(which according to you, means they lose 23 games automatically) they would not have been the favorites to win the title.
