You Know what i live in phoenix and I like the phoenix suns too, but Im fro m la and im a laker fan and I got to say that la will take it again, because 1, steve nash is not getting younger, 2 the lakers have the best bench in the nba, 3, the lakers have kobe bryant and Pau gaSOL, 4,Phil jackson will be back, and 5, the lakers have 3  of the top defenders in the nba, kobe, ron-ron, and matt barnes.  Derek Fisher is really good defeder too and so is pau and bynum.  The lakers win the west.  But if anyone else will win the west it would for sure be the suns.  I hope that nash gets a ring because he deserves one.  Maybe he will before he retires.

West:

1. Lakers

2. Suns

3. Dallas

4. Thunder

5. Utah

6. New Orleans

7. Denver

8. Portland

The Lakers will win the West and should also win the whole thing. The Suns maybe rising, but the western conference isn't. The Eastern Conference should be way harder than the Western.

Well, I wouldn't put Phoenix up there this year with Amare gone. The Lakers should be the favorites still.

I'd put the Mavericks over them because the additions they made.

The Lakers should win the West this year, and finish with 60 or more wins.

They played sloppy in the last few weeks of the regular season, but I don't think t

Lakers are strong, but I really hope Suns could win the West this season. And I agree that Suns, Lakers and Dallas could be the top 3, then here's my ranking:

West:

1. Suns

2. Lakers

3. Dallas
