If the Pelicans could keep winning and were to beat someone out for the playoffs, do you believe our best shot is the Thunder or the Spurs? We are currently 2 games back of the Thunder and 4 games back of the Spurs. The Thunder are on a roll, even without Durant. I find it hard to believe we're going to be able to keep with their pace over the last few weeks of the season, much less better them by two games.
The Spurs are the Spurs, and you have to believe that veteran group will find a way to get in, because that's what they do. However, we are only four games back, and they are sliding a bit. Is it possible we find ourselves in a race with them for the 8th spot? Even if we didn't make it, THAT would be entertaining to watch.
