9-10. Los Angeles Clippers (30-26) – Utah Jazz (30-28)
The Los Angeles Clippers are 7-3 in their past ten games and are currently ninth in the standings.
The Utah Jazz have won eleven straight games and are currently tenth in the standings, one game back from the Clippers.
I only add these two teams because I wanted to shout out their surprising success.
Firstly, the Clippers are awesome for deciding to get rid of the two cornerstones of their franchise, all in six months and now only being half a game back from the eighth seed.
Insane.
Also, shouting out the Jazz for winning eleven straight games because of amazing team chemistry due to the genius of Quin Snyder, Donovan Mitchell, and team chemistry.
Here’s the thing about the Western Conference.

There is a strong possibility that seeds three through ten can compete with one another.
It literally is a toss-up for all of them, which makes me love the West even more this season.
