Western Conference - Sure Things

(1) Houston Rockets (54-14, clinched)
(2) Golden State Warriors (52-16, clinched)

The Rockets and Warriors both clinched playoff berths (and their respective divisions) this week, but that was pretty much just a formality for the top two teams in the league. Now, all that's left for these two squads is to figure out who gets the top seed and who comes in second.

You would think there would be more teams in this tier by now, but as you'll see in the next slide, things are a little tight in the wild, wild Western Conference right now.
