Best in the West?

Based on the offseason improvements made by the New Orleans Hornets and Memphis Grizzles, I feel compelled to rephrase the title of this post to 'Best in the (south) West. Clearly, based on their individual performances, 4 out of 5 southwest teams are arguably the best 4 teams in the Western Conference AT THE MOMENT. Order is certainly to be restored this week as Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and San Antonio will go head to head for the ultimate bragging rights as the king of the southwest and the Best in the West.
