8th seed out West

[Dengness9]

I think it's clear that OKC has the most talent (of the 3 teams vying for 8th) and will be the 8seed at least this year.


I like the Suns and the Peli's, but do any ISH'ers think either team has a remote chance for a playoff spot?

I have a bet with a friend that OKC gets in, and I said its 100% guaranteed they make it. He didn't like that 100% number so he bet me.

What say you ISH fam?

PS - I have no idea of the schedules for those 3 teams the rest of the way out, but again, I don't think it matters.

[ButterFace]

Thunder will get it.

Unless westbrook it out for a significant amount of time I think Theyre a lock for 8th.

Phoenix just gutted their roster

The Suns basically just blew it up.

They're obviously out of contention now.

I mean Knight is pretty good and trading Miles shouldn't hurt much since they have Len and Wright.

PHX losing 7 of 10 before break is what really crushed em. That lead felt like their only shot to make the playoffs.

And yes RussGod alone should get them in and those trades were a thing of beauty.

Oh shit I forgot Thomas is on Boston now. I like Isaiah but maybe trading him will help the team function better with more defined roles for Bledsoe and Knight.

Although those 2 are both SGs in PG bodies.

This is going to be a playoff race for the ages.

1. GS - Curry, Thomson
2. MEM - Gasol, Randolph, Conley
3. POR - Aldridge, Lilliard
4. HOU - Harden, Howard
5. LAC - Paul, Griffin, Jordan
6. DAL - Dirk, Ellis, Parsons, etc.
7. SAS - Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard
8. OKC - Durant, Westbrook

No playoff rookies, 6-8 seeds legitimate contenders.

The question is can OKC move up to 6th or 7th? I think after this trade they are super legit as long as Brooks doesn't ruin it. Phoenix locker room must have been horribly toxic for those trades.

Thats scary as hell. Mavs spurs and okc are 678. how funny would it be if 123 get knocked off by 678.

I'd bet on 678 over 123

GS needs to tank out of that first seed

Honestly, I think Portland and Memphis are two of the more beatable Playoff teams out West. Really wouldn't surprise me.

[Dengness9]

OKC's seed depends on a toe to be honest.

I see spurs being the 8th seed. With that said memphis vs okc all over again. This time durant doesnt have reggie to bail him out.

Yeah, it will be between the Pelicans and Thunder, and I don't see the Pelicans keeping up.
