The West of the NBA dominates the league.
As we approach the final straight of the regular season, the conference of the West is in constant changes in terms of the first eight positions that will go to the playoffs to fight for the longed for championship. These movements are due to the winning streaks of precisely the first four teams at this time of the western conference.
First there is the Houston Rockets, owners of the best record of their conference and of the league, which are intractable to record 17 consecutive victories, playing in an incredible way which has allowed them to stay in that first place and demonstrate the great impact they are having. this season with his two stars James Harden and Cris Paul, along with a great cast that undoubtedly makes them a fearsome team.
The second best streak and perhaps the most surprising one is that of the New Orleans Pelicans at the hands of Anthony Davis, current player of the month of February and last week, who together with Jrue Holiday are playing phenomenally despite the absence of Demarcus Cousins (Star of the league and one of the best centers of the NBA), have 10 consecutive wins that not only place them in the playoffs right now, but they are also solo in the 4th position in the middle West game above of San Antonio and the Minnesota Timberwolves that despite the adversities still remain in the fight, in fifth and sixth place respectively. The Davis and company is the most remarkable, because even losing one of their best men, they found the formula to be in the fight for the postseason.
Then have the team perhaps more underestimated in the league, the Portland Trail Blazzers, led by the Lillard Youth, McCullers and an excellent team of players who give their best every night, have gotten into an 8-win streak to the thread and in case outside little they are at the moment the third better equipment in the disputed western conference.
Finally and always very important to follow closely, are the current champions of the league, The Golden State Warriors, who have a string of 6 consecutive wins, clinging to the second place in the West, following closely the Houston Rockets for that first Market Stall.
They are also on the lookout for those last places to qualify for Playoffs, teams like Denver, Clippers and Utta, who are currently playing very good basketball and anything can happen in the remainder of the season.
But not all the gusts are positive, we have also seen how San Antonio is in the midst of a drought winning just 2 of its last 10 meetings, which place them in 5th place of the conference, as well as Minnesota that has dropped to 6th place; just like the Oklahoma City Thunder that little by little have lost ground and are currently 7th in the standings.
There are still about 20 games left for each team heading into the playoffs, and if there is one thing we can be sure of, it will be a very exciting season finale.
