With the start of the NBA regular season less than a week away, two of our writers breakdown the Western Conference and make some playoff predictions
The NBA season finally tips off in less than a week. Training camps and pre-season will soon be in the backburners and we will soon be arguing about way-too-early MVP picks, and whether or not LeBron James will finally bring an NBA Championship to Cleveland, amongst other things.

Let’s take a look at our Western Conference playoff predictions for this upcoming season.
