	Western Conference (NBA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Western Conference of the National Basketball Association is made up of fifteen teams, and organized in three divisions of five teams each.
		The Western Conference playoffs is divided into three rounds, with the winner facing the Eastern Conference champion in the NBA Finals to determine the champion.
		This necessitated the move of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets from the Eastern Conference's Central Division to the newly-created Southwest Division of the Western Conference.

	NBA WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
		Nash's Phoenix Suns and Nowitzki's Dallas Mavericks are squaring off in the playoffs for the second straight year and this time it's the Western Conference finals, making the higher stakes more of a focus than the friends-turned-foes angle.
		While Detroit and Miami slug it out in the Eastern Conference, everyone's expecting this series to be heavy on offense, even if both clubs had only one day off after Game 7s.
		The irony for the Mavericks is that they won 60 games and became the home team in the conference finals - for the first time in their 26-year history - because they paid more attention to defense.

	InsideHoops.com - NBA Western Conference Look - Who can challenge the Spurs?
		The Suns averaged over 110 points per game, seven more than the rest of the league, and they used their fun and gun style to plow over teams last year on their way to the league's best record.
		This year, they lost two of their top 3-point weapons, and will have to rely on a slower, more methodical attack, something that doesn't necessarily fit the mold of their team leader, reigning NBA MVP Steve Nash.
		Phoenix has simply lost their identity, and that may ultimately cost them a chance to win the franchise's first NBA Title.
