Looking at the 8 teams that are in the playoffs as of today, I think those are the 8 teams that will make it.
Current lottery teams Grizzlies, Lakers, Utah, Clippers, Suns, Kings, Dallas. I guess I could see the Clippers making it if Blake and Milo and Galinari all get healthy something how, but that really is about it.
Overall, I think this is kind of bad news for the Lakers pick as it will create a real big race to the bottom in the west of the second half of the season as the playoffs become impossible for teams.
Thoughts?
