Contenders: PHX and G.S.
Memphis on an island in third.
Utah, Dallas, Denver, and Minnesota on four streets in Middlesbrough.
The two LA teams eighth and ninth.
The Eastern Conference is more congested throughout the upper half.
The legitimate contenders, Miami, Milwaukee, Chicago, Philly, and Cleveland all have realistic shots at the title and are separated by two games one through five.
Toronto, BKLYN, Boston are sixth through eighth with one-half game separation.
Of the remainder only Chazz remains above .500 and I don't see any reason to seriously believe the Buzz will move much up.
