Yes to every team you mentioned but the Timberwolves. The Wolves are in the same tier as the Rockets right now, and may end up scratching and clawing for one of the remaining two playoff spots.
I generally don't care either way with most of these games, but rooting against the Clippers is really easy, just on the lone fact that the scumbag known Matt Barnes plays for them. I do consider all those teams locks, yes. The Lakers obviously are the biggest question mark, but I just can't imagine them missing the playoffs. Just too much talent. Injuries could slow them down some, but I think the Warriors are here to stay too. I did not think the Rockets had any realistic shot at the playoffs before the season, but things are coming together much quicker than I thought and the way they've been playing I'm pretty optimistic about their chances. The Wolves I never was quite as high on as other people. I think they'll be in the mix for the playoffs, but I don't think ultimately make it.
Yes. Got it at a game shortly after the streak ended. Pulled it out of my closet. Might wear it to the game tomorrow.
IMO the Warriors will hit the wall and fall hard and the Rockets (who may do the same) have a chance to finish in front of them. Eventually their weakness at C will bite them. Regarding the T-Wolves, I think Adelman will get everyone on the same page and they will make a strong run eventually. Maybe not until after the all-star break.
The west will shape up like this 1-4 spots (In no specific order: clippers, memphis, spurs, okc) 5-8 (Lakers, Rockets, Timberwolves, Warriors, Nuggets, Portland, Utah, and Dallas all in the mix). I think Nuggets and Warriors will be 5 and 6. I also believe that Portland might drop down, and Dallas might come up because Dirk is back and if he starts balling again. Least Likely to make it: Portland, Utah, Timberwolves, and Dallas if dirk doesn't play like himself.

Haven't watched any of Clippers/Warriors tonight but noticed David Lee's production (24/12/6) blows away Blake's (10/6/2 on 2-11). Is Blake injured?
