Call It: Race for the #7 & #8 Seeds in the West

Just a few games left and we have three teams battling for the final two spots in the West: Dallas, Memphis and Phoenix. Which two are your picks to make the Playoffs?

I voted for Mavs & Grizzlies. Suns will lose against the Spurs, then the matches with Mavs & Grizzlies will be interesting and the decider.

I'll pick the Mavericks to hold on to the seventh spot while the Suns edge the Grizzlies for eighth, but it's a coin flip. As with the race for the top seed in the East, it's great that they'll be playing each other this late in the season with a chance to decide it all and get into the postseason. A stroke of luck there when they made up the schedule.

Mavericks and Suns for me. I really hope the Suns make it, all 3 deserve a spot.

I was always skeptical of Dragic led PHX. I will stick by it and go with MEM and DAL. I think they make the playoffs more interesting and competitive anyway.

Memphis owns the tiebreaker and they play Phoenix one more time. With the way they've been playing, the grizz get the nod. (Dallas is almost a lock)

I think Dallas and PHX get in but I really want Memphis to make it. It would make the first round series in the West even more exciting.

Memphis at full strength is a fun matchup, especially against the Spurs.

MEM just took over 8th seed. SAS could have done themselves a favor and lost to the Suns tonight.

MEM could pose to be a match nightmare for the Spurs as shown in the past and they have been hot since allstar break iirc.

Match up nightmare? Like when the Spurs had the top seed and where eliminated by the 8th seed Grizzlies in 6 games in 2011 or the one last year where the Spurs swept the Grizzlies in the WCF?

Not to say it would be a cakewalk, but I'd take this year's Spurs over this year's Grizzlies in a seven game series.
