If the Jazz were healthy last season, I think they would have been a top seed. So, assuming they stay healthy this year, they will at least be top 6.

Figured it would be between the Hornets and Jazz, and it's neck-and-neck right now. Either way, no complaints but I picked the Hornets.

New Orleans. Okafor makes them better. Utah didn't get better, they got chaos with the Boozer issue.

Will booz put on a UTAH uniform? UTAH did nothing this offseason and NO didnt really add anyhting to their squad either but I think NO is a more complete team than UTAH as of right now.

although UTAH most certainly has the better bench

New Orleans. This is assuming that Boozer won't be playing for the Jazz though.

I'm going with OKC City, I like it's bench, and I like the addition of James Harden, a true SG to play that spot. Westbrook, Harden, Durant are all guys that can get their points. The only thing about that team is experience. But they got all the talent in the world to make a playoff run.

It usually takes around 50 wins in the west to get the #6 spot in the west.

I feel extremely confident in saying that OKC will not improve last year's record by 27 wins this upcoming season.
