re: Predict which seed the Pelicans finish at the end of the year

You think Paul is gonna let that team fold up? There's no way. They won their last 2 games before the break convincingly vs sure fire Western conference playoff teams without Griffin. 7.5 games up on the Pels even if the Ciips go .500 the Pels would have to go 21-6 just to tie them. Say they gooo... 12-16, Pels would have to go 19-8 disregarding tiebreakers. No chance to catch the Clips.

They have:

2 vs MIN
2 vs DEN
2 vs LAL
2 vs SAC
3 game homestand vs
NYK
PHI
BOS

That's 11 games they'll have a hard time losing. If they win even 25-30% of the remaining games vs teams that can beat them, that will put the Pels having to go something like 22-5 to catch them no?
