I just realized I expect 11 teams to make the playoffs in the west.

That obviously can’t happen so….


Suns
Nuggets
Warriors
Lakers

All should.

Memphis
Kings
Pelicans
Mavs
OKC
Clippers
Minnesota



All could. Most feel like they should.

Which 3 won’t?

Memphis are 0-6

[L.Kizzle]

Memphis and the surprise Kings. I think the Kings will flop hard thos season. Suns are my sleeper as well.

[Axe]

Memphis starting 0-7 is a hell of a hole to climb out of. Obviously doable but a hole.

Wouldn't be the case at all if steven adams is still playing rt.

I absolutely cannot see the following 7 teams missing playoffs/play-in: Suns, Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers, Kings, Pelicans, and Clippers.

And I absolutely cannot see the following 3 teams making it in: Rockets, Jazz, and Blazers.

That leaves Minnesota, Spurs, Mavs, Memphis, and OKC. If only 3 of these can make it, I think it will be Minnesota, Spurs, and Mavs. That leaves Memphis and OKC looking in from outside.

Easy to see the Pelicans missing it since they haven't made it in how long now? Certainly easy to the Lakers missing it with their top two players unlikely to play much. Same with the Clippers for that matter

Like… two years? Pretty sure they played the Suns in rd 1 in 2022.

Right now it’s the Clippers on the outside lookin in, along with the Grizz.
