SI Preview: West is best

Western Conference is NBA’s land of plenty

Now that the sun has set on the Bulls’ empire, the Western Conference is where it’s at in the NBA. In winning the 1999 title, the Spurs signaled a geographic shift in the league; now the East is least. Look for Tim Duncan, David Robinson and Co. to snatch a second-straight title this season—provided they can get past Phil Jackson’s new-look Lakers and Portland’s band of All-Stars in the conference playoffs. What’s the prognosis for your team? Find out in Sports Illustrated’s exclusive team-by-team Scouting Reports.
