Our weekly look at every team in the West who isn’t the Memphis Grizzlies.

The teams out in L.A. actually looked a bit like their historical selves this week, as the Clippers dropped three in a row, while the Lakers have won their last three, and might be making their way back into the playoff hunt.

Our weekly look at every Western Conference team that isn’t the Grizzlies.

First off let’s talk about the Thunder, who have been looking quite good lately.

So, while my colleague Steve Danziger is handling the action in the east, I’ll be looking at the weekly action from the other 14 teams in the Western conference. Any questions? No? Ok, then, let’s dig in.

Who’s Ballin’

San Antonio Spurs
What else is new, right? Every year, everyone (myself included) thinks the Spurs are finally going to decline because they’re just too dang old, and it never happens. the team is running smoothly as ever, getting an [...]
