Can the Warriors win the Pacific? Of course. But they'll have to win on the road. I still think Phoenix is the best team in the Division, but second is up for grabs. For the first time in a long time, the Warriors are in the mix.

So much rests on Baron Davis and the improvement of 2nd year coach Mike Montgomery. The Warriors don't have a proven coach like the Bulls' Scott Skiles. Monty is a college coach who, in his first year, has made mistakes with his line-ups and misused his bench.

The Warriors finished 18-8 with Davis, a promising ending to a long season.
