    West:
    1. Timberwolves 21-6
    2. Thunder 18-8
    3. Nuggets 20-10
    4. Kings 17-10
    5. Clippers 17-12
    6. Pelicans 17-12
    7. Mavericks 16-12
    8. Rockets 14-12
    9. Lakers 15-14
    10. Suns 14-14
    11. Warriors 14-14
    12. Jazz 11-18
    13. Grizzlies 8-19
    14. Blazers 7-20
    15. Spurs 4-23

    Only 2.5 games separate 5-11 seeds.
    One of those teams wont make it.
    Which one will it be?

    2 of those teams make the top 6 and avoid the play-in. Who?

    Early speculation.

    Some folks made this speculation before the season began.

    there's no real playoff 'picture' yet, it might be more accurate to simply call this the standings ;)

    Its both really.
    But one reason I did this is to point out how meager our hold on a Play-In spot is.
    We will need every win we can get. Cant afford to give away games.

    exactly. I think it's way too early to even speak of having a "hold" on anything. I think that's more of a post all-star break kind of concern

    I would say the current 1-3 seeds have a hold on making the playoffs ;)
