Western depth doesn't mean it has the best team

I made the statement today that the NBA Western Conference is down this year. After being roundly ridiculed and mocked of by my co-workers, I tried to make more point more clearly. So let me explain. No, let me sum up — that’s all the space I have. The Western team which makes the Finals will not be as formidable as the Spurs were last year. The West is deep, but it’s not as tough at the top. Not saying the Celtics or the Pistons will win the title, but don’t hand the trophy to the Lakers, etc., just yet. — Jeff Gilbert
