The Fig Cap: Kobe Bryant is happy... he's REALLY happy! Doesn't the 2007 offseason seems so far away?

Okay, just about two games into NBA Playoffs games, we finally have our Western Conference Season Review for you all! Hey, at least it's here, folks! In any case, this season's quality in the Western Conference was amazing. There is no questioning that the West surely has the best, as far as teams go. Seriously, a team like the Golden State Warriors win 48 games and still miss the playoffs by two games? RIDICULOUS! They would have been the number four seed with homecourt advantage in the East! C'est la vie... that's how the ball bounces.

In any case, check out the excellent Western Conference season reviews brought to you by the About.com staff of basketball contributors:
