I think the gap has been closed.

And I think I'd look at it a couple different ways.

So the first way I would try to interpret this question is let's look at the top teams in terms of viability and likelihood to actually win a title now, this year.

So when you look at that, clearly you'd have to give an edge to the Western Conference.

Yeah, I think so.

I think you're right.

I think the top two, I don't know any Eastern Conference team would be favored in a series against either Oklahoma City or San Antonio.

I don't care who comes out of the East.

They're going to be an underdog against either one of those teams.

And then you've got Denver sitting there.

You're right, because they got that next group of four.

After the top two in the West, you got Lakers, you got Minnesota, you got Houston, you got Denver, right?

All of them have been inconsistent for different reasons.

When I look at those four teams, the one team I look at and go, you know what?

I still have a belief that this is going to be a very difficult team to play and could go on a deep run in the postseason.

That's Denver of the group.

Because I know how good they were early.

It was one injury after another all season long.

And now they're starting to get these guys trickling back.

Christian Brown's back.
