Western Conference Champions:

Dylan: Oklahoma City Thunder

Jared: Golden State Warriors

Mike: Oklahoma City Thunder

Evan: San Antonio Spurs

(Note from Evan: the West is always loaded, and we know that. Expect the Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, Clippers and Rockets all to be bunched together this year. I just think the Spurs are the most complete team in the league)

Jack: San Antonio Spurs

Tyler: San Antonio Spurs

Sheamus: Los Angeles Clippers

Andrew: Golden State Warriors

Consensus: San Antonio Spurs (three votes), Golden State Warriors (two votes), Oklahoma City Thunder (two votes), Los Angeles Clippers (one vote)

Unsurprisingly, four different teams received votes to win the West. Most would argue there are five legitimate title contenders in the West, so a lot of variation in the voting is far from surprising. The Spurs got the most votes with three, as Evan, Jack and Tyler seem to think the Lamarcus Aldridge addition will put them over the top. Oklahoma City received two votes, as Kevin Durant returns healthy, and the defending champion Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers also received votes.
