Things are setting up schedule and ratings wise for Zion to make the playoffs (which is what we ALL want of course):
Pels - easy final 5, other than Spurs; they have to play Orlando, but John Isaac is done, so Pels should win.
Spurs - challenging final 5; impressive run thus far without LMA, and goofy that they finally decide to start Murray and White - White is making 3's too.
Portland - very challenging final 5 or 6.
Memphis - very challenging.
In the bubble, anything can happen, but I think Zion will make it.
I will say the quality of ball, competitiveness, summer tournament feel...has made this a lot of fun, and the fun of watching good basketball SHOULD override stupid ass Duke/ESPN/Zion BS. I love the fans, too, that's terrific.
