NBA playoffs: Every potential (and absurd) scenario left in the NBA’s wild Western Conference

It really is the wild, wild west.

The playoffs are nearly upon us, but there are still a few things that need to be ironed out when it comes to seeding.

The Eastern Conference is locked up and finished. We know who will be in the play-in tournament and where everyone stands in the standings. But the west? Whew. Y’all. That’s an entirely different story.

The Western Conference — for the first time in over two decades — was the weaker of the two conferences in the NBA. The parity was certainly there. The 4 through 12 seeds have been jockeying for position for most of the year.

The teams are still not done. And it has come down to the final weekend of the regular season. Here’s everything you should be paying attention to for the Western Conference playoff picture.

Let’s take a look at where things stand as of Saturday afternoon and see what the possibilities are.
