Won't be, but the fact is that this was unthinkable just six weeks ago. The fact also remains that we are a mere 4 games out of first place in the West. They've got to keep the pedal to the metal, for sure, but anything can happen in the West, now. Nobody's guaranteed anything.
Its not the numerical seeding, its how much we have caught up. In the last 10 the only team to keep pace with us is still ahead by 1 game: Utah. We have moved a game closer to the Lakers.(EEP) Rockets are now 2 games closer to NO, PHO, SA, (and are tied or ahead with DEN,GSW) Houston has moved 4 games closer to Dallas. Houston has left Portland in the rear view mirror.(6 game swing the last 10)
