I can't remember if this has happened before.

If the West standings end where they are right now, I think these are the only teams that have a legit shot of making it to the Finals (assuming all the key players are healthy enough):

More talented but tougher road:

Phoenix
Golden State

Easier road and talented enough

Memphis
LA Clippers
LA Lakers

Nuggets/Kings/Pelicans are solid teams but I feel like they're more "regular season good" than "playoff good", at least as of right now.
