95 was interesting looking at the standings, because I knew Houston was a 6 seed that year, and I saw utah with 60 wins, and I'm thinking "were they really the 3 seed with 60 wins?"  And they were.  Kinda.  They had the second best record in the whole league that year, but the Spurs won 62 games and were in their division, and the Suns won 59 games and won the Pacific.

What's funny and what I didnt remember, is they actually didnt play that much better in the regular season with Clyde.  They were 30-17 when they traded for him and 17-18 with him the rest of the way!  Until the playoffs, obviously.  They won Game 5 against Utah (best of 5) on the road by 4 and then game 7 in Phoenix by 1 before winning the WCF in 6 and then the finals was a cakewalk thanks to Nick Anderson I guess.

There were a bunch of teams in the west in the early to mid 90s that were really good every year (Utah, Seattle, Phoenix, Portland more in the early part of the decade) that are a little lost to history because they never won a title.

Utah I already did, the Suns from 89-95 won 55,54,55,53,62,56, and 59
Seattle from 93 to 98 was 55,63,57,64,57, and 61
Portland from 90 to 93 was 59,63,57 and then 51.
