Who will be the 8th seed in the Western Conference?

If the 9th seed is within 4 games of the 8 seed, there will be a play in series, 9th seed needs to win twice.
Grizzlies have a 3.5 game lead on the Blazers, Kings and Pelicans. They have a potentially harder schedule than Kings and Pelicans, but no one has a clue how the better teams are going to treat this. Also, they got some players back. The cushion and having to be beaten twice (potentially 3 times by the Pels) is a huge advantage.
Blazers, despite getting swept by the Pelicans (0-4), have the tiebreaker since they played an extra game during the season, so they get in if both teams are the same amount of games back. Blazers get Nurkic and Collins back, two huge additions, but have a pretty hard schedule.
Pelicans have the easiest schedule left, and have Redick and Zion both fully healthy. They had the highest chance of making the playoffs pre-shutdown, the shutdown did reduce those chances (per 538).
So, out of the teams vying for the 8 seed to play the Lakers, which team does the MSB think will make it:
Grizzlies
Blazers
Pelicans
Kings
Spurs
Suns

easily the blazers

None. Neither the pelicans, blazers, kings, grizz, spurs, or suns choose to go through the first round embarrassment that awaits them

Suns are going 8-0 and then winning the play-in series.

I think the Grizz have too big of an advantage for us or Portland to overcome

Wait what? This is the biggest load of BS... especially considering the Pels were literally minutes from playing the last game before the shutdown and should have been allowed to finish up.

I wouldn't mind seeing this be a permanent feature.

Congrats on the attendance award.

For the record, I think the Pels are by far the best team of the candidates, but have the worst Head Coach.
So I’m not sure I can pick them.

Winning ROTY doesn’t mean a damn thing - it’s great for internet pissing contests, but that’s about it.

Brogdon won it over Embiid, too. How many GMs would choose him over Embiid today?
