So no Pacific Division wild card teams in the playoffs this year?

4 teams get in from the Southwest, 3 from the Northwest & the L.A. Clippers... could it happen?

stern will bail them out imho, they might still get bounced off the 1st round or 2nd but the league will suffer a big financial hit if the superteam fail to make the playoffs, which the league will do their best to prevent happening

If the Spurs, Grizzlies, Wolves, and Thunder are in the 2nd round of the playoffs this year, Stern will be on suicide watch.

The Wolves won't make the playoffs, but you can easily replace them with somebody like the Nuggets or Jazz.

Okay, that's fine. Personally, I would love it. I would love a Grizzlies-Wolves WCF or Grizzlies-Jazz WCF. It would be a ratings hit.

The Warriors get in.
