The bracket is set and the NBA playoffs will begin in just a matter of days.
That means that in just a few months we will know the best teams in the Eastern Conference, Western Conference, and, of course, the entire league.
There are many predictions floating around because this season has been so widely competitive and shockingly unpredictable at times.
NBA analyst Brian Windhorst appeared on ESPN’s “Get Up” Monday morning and gave his surprise pick to win the Western Conference: the Golden State Warriors.
“I like the Warriors at full power,” Windhorst said after being told that the Phoenix Suns currently have the best odds via Las Vegas oddsmakers.

Windhorst may be in the minority with his opinion that the reigning champion Warriors could win the West but the team has shown some serious signs of power and progress lately.
The team has climbed to the sixth seed in the West and is set to play the Sacramento Kings in the opening round.
They are also getting Andrew Wiggins back and have been playing a bit more consistently lately.
But Windhorst touched upon the Suns, saying that they are definitely going to be hard to beat.
After this weekend, the Suns will face the Los Angeles Clippers in the opening round, which gives them an advantage according to many.
So, the Warriors have the postseason experience but the Suns have the better schedule.
If Windhorst is right and the Warriors are able to claw their way to another Western Conference Finals victory, it’ll be one of the biggest turnarounds in NBA history.
They have had an incredibly tough season and many people had counted them out.
How far can they go in these playoffs?
