Best Team In The West

I didn't add teams with losing records...but you can pick other.

I picked the Spurs...they have got Duncan who never seems to fade...and Ginobili is having an MVP season IMO.

They're clearly the best right now. I don't know about Ginobili having a MVP season, but the team are playing awesomely well. I like Bonner; he needs to score a little bit more though.

The Spurs are playing the best right now, but I can't say anyone other then the Lakers, until someone knock's off the Lakers in the playoffs.

Just to not go with some of the favourites, I've chosen the Thunder to be the best. KD is one of the best scorers in the league, Westbrook one of the most well-rounded PG in the league, Jeff Green who is close to being an all-star himself, James Harden who I think has the potential to be a 6th man of the year, and some other pieces like a very good defensive specialist in Thabo Sefelosha, and you've got yourself not only a great team, but a young team as well.

I have to choose Lakers.....I have always loved the Lakers, so i have to stick with them.

The Spurs are dominant right now with Duncan having limited minutes. It's really obvious who the best in the west is, and it's San Antonio.

Maybe they're more dominant BECAUSE Duncan is only playing limited minutes. He's having a bad year right now even factoring in the reduced minutes. He's less efficient, is in the bottom half of the team in terms of offensive rating, and is averaging less win shares per 48 minutes than he has in his entire career except for 05-06. He's simply not contributing at the rate he's used to and the team is benefitting by sitting him more.

And when OKC visit San Antonio, the final score is 74-101 (Spurs winning). Tim Duncan finishing with a game high 21 points.

I still stand by my point ^.^
