The Race to the NBA Playoffs is all over the place as we go to press in the Logo. The West is not won as the Spurs and Thunder continue to move forward for the West Home court Advantage. The Champs 305 have won 23 straight and they look like the Team to beat by far. The Nugs have been almost as hot as the Heat and they have the Rockies on Fire for get all that snow and skiing. There is a log jam in the Eats seeds 3-7 and one game separates them all. The Bulls were expected to get a Boost from their Injured PG as he stars in Adidas New Campaign #NoReturnThisSeason.

1. CHAMPS 305 #HeatNation (2) 51-14.....23 W's in a row...enough said

2. ALAMO City SPURS #Spurs (1) 51-16...trying to hold down the Fort until their Star PG TP9 is back into the Fold. OKC is the only threat to the Spurs having the West's Best record.

3. YOUNG Gunz OKC #RegulatorsReportOKC (3) 50-17...missed a d opportunity to past the Spurs last week. Can they pass the Alamo City for the #1 Overall in the West is the only question before Mid-April?


4. LOB City #ClipsNation (4) 46-21...played well and they have been play better of late as they head need to hold off the Grizz and Nugs for 1st Round Home Court.

5. GRIND House #GrizzNation (5) 44-21...trying to pass the Clips and sty away from the blazin' Nugs. Dangerous Team in Winning Time as they are Big in the Paint and play Playoff Type D all the time...#Grinding

6. Mile High NUGGETS #Nugs (7) 45-22...they have cemented themselves in as a real Threat to all the Teams in the West and the Logo. Tied with the Heat for the NBA;'s Best Record at home...30-3.

7. Operation GOLD SWAGGER #PacerNation (8) 40-26...Pacers are a solid #2 in the East but got a reality check in Miami last week. Maybe they get a Eastern Finals Match Up with the Heat.

8. Manhattan KNICKS #KnicksTape (6) 38-26...The Knicks are 0-4 on their current 5-game west swing and 'Melo is ailing and S.T.A.T. appears maybe out for the rest of 2012-13...Bad News in Knicks Land.

9. "BROOKLYN has a Home Team" #Nets (10) 38-28...the Nets are Jekyll and Hyde and after that who knows. They are waiting to put this Season behind them and make a run at the Zen Master.

10. GSW Warriors #DubNation (11) 38-30...they have an explosive outfit but can they get back to that early in the Season Mojo when they could have beat anyone on a given night?

11. HIGHLIGHT Factory 404 #HawksNation (9) 37-29...The Hawks have been playing well of late and the emergence of PG Jeff Teague has been monumental as well as the Lead play of both Big Al Horford and J-Smoove 5.

12. SEE RED #DaBulls (12) 36-29...the Bulls will have no Derrick Rose as he continues to see the shrink and they must make do of what they have...Blue-Collar Hoops with "Benny the Bull" Lunch Pails.

13. ROCKETS #RedNation (15) 36-31..the Rockets lose a big one last night to the Warriors but still have the Lakers and Jazz to fend off to keep their #7 Seed in the West.

14. CELTICS #GreenTeam (14) 36-29....I have to give it to the C's as they continue to move on and play good winning basketball without Rajon Rondo. Can they move up on the Bulls, Hawks, and Nets?

15. L.A.LAKERS #LAKEshow (NR) 36-32...look what the Wind blew in as the Lakers make their move in the West from as far back as the #1 Seed to a Solid 8 seed. Can they catch the Warriors and Rockets and move to the #6 seed in the West and set up LAL vs LAC 1st round...Wowza!

16. BUCKS #FearTheDEER (NR) 33-32...on any given night including in Winning Time you can get hit by the Beer Town Lefty or struck by Mississippi Lightning...which would you prefer?
