Who do you guys think is the most likely bottom 4 seed to make some noise in the playoffs. (#5-8)

 

West: I would have to say the Thunder. Any team they go up against will have trouble containing Westbrook and Durant. Portland could be the other team but I think they just have too many injuries.

 

East: Definitely Charlotte if they can get in, but right now they are 9th so I would have to say the Heat. Plainly based off Wade just taking over in a series.

The Thunder and Bobcats. One has an offensive player that is too difficult to contain and a point guard too athletic to ignore, and the other is dominant defensively.

 

I don't know if the Lakers would have trouble against OKC, given that we have a dominant frontcourt and the best scorer since MJ...but Phoenix would struggle with Durant and Westbrook, and I'd imagine Dallas would find them a tough play in a seven-game series, as long as Green is doing his job against Dirk.

 

Charlotte can beat any team out East if they are at home. Unfortunately, they won't have a top four seed, so you can expect them to look like the Bulls of last year's playoffs, in need of just one more home game.

Thunder wont phase the Lakers. They rely on Durant, Artest will shut him down, and he has this season. Thunder also dont have any bigs to match up with all star big men, so they wont go far in the playoffs imo.

 

Bobcats and Raptors in the East. None in the West imo.
