The NW Division is the worst in the NBA. In a down year, luck is very important. It's better than the NFC East in the NFL, but only because the Thunder have kept a decent record in place. So far this season, it's not just the NW division but the entire western conference has been down. The 8th place team (Utah) actually has under a .500 record whereas the Eastern conference has 11 of 15 teams at or above .500. 10 of the 15 teams in the West have an SRS less than 0 while only 5 in the East do. I'm not convinced at this point that the West will get its feet under itself, and overtake the East. When looking at BBR's adjusted net rating, the top 3 teams in the league are Spurs, Warriors and Thunder. The next 9 teams are Eastern Conference teams. 5 of the top 15 are western teams. Some things I've noticed and decided to note.
