Start by looking at the standings. Five teams in the West have never been to an NBA Finals; among them are the top three teams in the conference in Denver, Memphis and New Orleans. Additionally, the divide between the top two and the pack in the middle has become increasingly glaring. Memphis and Denver both finished Monday at 30-13 … 8 1/2…
