Continue to bask in basketball serenity, friends. Today we offer you a new wave of haiku verse to provide you with all the information you need to keep up with the 2015 NBA season. Last week, we previewed the East and now we turn to the Western Conference, where competition is fierce, champions reign, and a man with a unibrow shall one day be king.
