Southwest remains NBA's Toughest Division After Rockets Retool Roster

HOUSTON -- The San Antonio Spurs won an NBA title last season and essentially have their entire roster back for another championship run. So why aren't the Spurs a sure-thing to at least finish first in their own division? That's life in the Southwest.

With four of the past five Western Conference champions coming straight out of the Southwest, the NBA's toughest division won't be any easier this season.Three teams -- the Rockets, Mavericks and Spurs -- are boasting hopes of competing for a Western Conference crown and the Hornets have enough talent to end their three-year playoff drought. On top of all that, the Grizzlies even got better this summer by adding a talented international star and a promising rookie point guard.
