Texas will be the top team in the Western Conference

Despite the bold font, this isn't actually too bold of a prediction. Texas has been on the up and up for the past few seasons, and while they lost a few key pieces do to expansion heading into this season, the core of the team is still present and only continues to get better. Meanwhile, other top teams in the west like NOLA and EDM have gotten worse. This may be the time that Texas takes their place at the top of the conference. If not now, keep an eye on them the next couple seasons.
