Hahaha. I hate to say it, but the NBA champ is coming out of the West. Being a SoCal guy, I am certain that the Lakers will make it fo' in a row. But if by some catastrophe they don't, then Sac-to, Big D, or San Antone will still be better than the best team in the East.
It's just like it was in the 90s when everyone knew that whoever came out of the west was just a sacrificial lamb for MJ and Co. It's just reversed now.
