Another week done and dusted and it is becoming apparent that conference roles have swapped this year. In recent years the Western conference has been, by and large, vastly superior to the East. This year it has changed. One only needs to look at the table. In the west there are 3 teams tied for 2nd Houston, Portland, and Dallas all with 25 points. In the East 25 points would leave you tied for 5th. The 30 points that western leader SKC has would be tied for 3rd in the East. It was also a double game week for many teams, some took advantage, and others didn't.
