Image via WikipediaThis is a great time of year to be an NBA fan. The playoffs are in full swing, teams are surprising us with unbelievable postseason play, and fans in arenas have kicked up the energy about a thousand notches. The playoffs are so fantastic because there's so much at stake, and sixteen teams are fighting their rear ends off for a shot at the NBA title.
So yeah, it's a great time of year… for those 16 teams.
That leaves 14 teams (and by association, 14 fan bases) with little to look forward to until the draft in late June, but let's remind ourselves which of those 14 lottery teams are still worth talking about. Some of these organizations aren't far from the playoffs; they've either got the players to make a real run at it right now, or they've got a young core right on the cusp of blowing up. Today's Top 5 looks at the non-playoff teams who are most likely to get into the playoffs next spring. In descending order, here they are:
#5 – L.A. Clippers
#4 – Utah Jazz
#3 – Golden State Warriors
#2 – New Jersey Nets
#1 – Milwaukee Bucks
