It is a tale of two conferences as we approach the two thirds mark of the season. In the East, as we discussed last week, we’re seeing gaps emerge between the tiers of competition. Out West, however, it has begun to look like a pecking order featuring the best (Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies) and the rest. The Sacramento Kings (!!!) are the third seed as of this morning, and the Minnesota Timberwolves — a team that looked destined to implode the second the season began — have climbed to a 27-25 record good for the fifth seed in the conference.
