Pelicans or Thunder?

Who's taking the 8 spot?

[Fudge]

Most likely going to be the Pels.

Thunder are playing AGAINST the refs + opponents for the rest of the season. Not good. League wants AD in the playoffs so bad.

OKC's looking rough recently. I think Westbrook is tired.

Pels got a tougher schedule but they're playing pretty well.

Pels Warriors would be a much more interesting 1st round than OKC at GSW at this point.

I think Westbrook could carry them to the 8th seed. I'm sticking with OKC not even looking at the schedule. It would be boring if Pelicans made it because Golden State would surely blow them out of the building each game. At least with OKC we get to see Westbrook chuck away and possibly own on Curry.

On the flip side, we could see AD in the playoffs

The Pelicans are probably a better matchup than OKC.

Unless Ibaka comes back.

okc would get their scrotum's kicked in hard. Pels might win a game.

Remaining schedule for each team:

Thunder
vs Kings
@ Pacers
vs Blazers
@ Wolves

Pelicans
@ Grizzlies
vs Suns
@ Rockets
@ Wolves
vs Spurs

Pelicans look like they have a much tougher remaining stretch than the Thunder. In the end, I feel OKC makes it, but just by a sliver. I would actually rather have NOP make it over Thunder just because they match up better against the Warriors and bitchboy Curry

Unless Ibaka comes back.

Curry/Draymond high PnRs forcing Kanter to switch onto Steph would get pretty old fast. OKC just doesn't have the defense with some of their recent additions to keep it interesting imo.

I however would be excited to see AD's first playoff appearance. Would have never guessed they'd have a shot post ASB. Rox and Sixers both rooting for those picks to convey in best case scenarios haha.

I'd bet Thunder get in over Pellies right now though. Need to look at schedules, but it may come down to the tie breaker.

nice schedule for okc. It'd be nice to rest Westbrook for that kings game but who can you rely on to carry the load?? Westbrook just needs to have another good stretch of games and Okc should seal their fate. Pelicans schedule doesn't look very friendly to me either.

Who owns the tiebreaker?

[coin24]

Pelicans have a rough path to finish, spurs might rest players though..

Id like to see AD in the playoffs

Who owns the tiebreaker?

Pelicans 3-1

Pels have a chance if any of those teams decide to rest their players, for sure the Spurs will rest Duncan/Ginobli/Parker.

Pelicans 3-1

Awesome. I hope it comes to that.
