Here's what's wrong with every West playoff team

The NBA playoffs are still three weeks away, yet we know the eight teams competing for the Western Conference crown.

As usual, the West is deep. But this season, each team has some troubling flaws that could prove fatal in the postseason.

  • The Warriors rank 14th in net rating in that span

  • Their offense is scoring at below-average rates
