Who gets left out of the West?

by fiddycent on Feb 12, 2009 9:27 PM CST

9 teams competing for 8 spots...

Phoenix is predicted to be left out with Hollinger's playoff odds -http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/playoffodds

I am gonna have to go with Dallas as of now. Although theyve played well so far without Jason Terry, I'm not sure that will last.

But that could all change with Phoenix trading away Amare or Shaq...

Anyways, what does everyone else think? No matter what, there will be some huge games at the end for the Rockets, last 8 games:

@ Phoenix, @ Lakers, Portland, Orlando

@Sac, @Golden State (back to back)

New Orleans, @Dallas

Suns are a mess

I’ll pick them. Thank you Steve Kerr.

Suns or mavericks

Jazz also could be the team to free fall depending on injuries.

It won’t be the rockets unless another core player goes down also.

Go blazers :) (blazer fan here looking for the game preview from rockets side)

In my opinion, the rockets play smart basketball, so they won’t miss the play offs. The injury bugs are incredible in Houston though. If they could have the entire roster at 100%, they would be a contender.
