Warriors coach Don Nelson believes that the race to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals is wide-open.

"I think anybody can beat anybody," Nelson said. "I think it's like when we beat Dallas when we were eight and they were one. Everybody is trying to get to full strength, rest their guys and make sure everybody's healthy for the playoffs, as it should be."

Golden State completed one of the greatest upsets in NBA history when they defeated top-seeded Dallas in the first round of the 2007 playoffs. Nelson doesn't think the Lakers are immune from such a fall.

"Even the Lakers, without [Andrew] Bynum, are lacking something," Nelson said. "They're still winning, but they're not as powerful. They need a full roster. It'll be interesting to see when everyone has their full roster how everything shakes out."
