Four weeks until the playoffs. Top 8 seeds advance.
There are three tiers in the playoff race:
Top tier: Baggy Maggums (Embiid, Tatum) and Cody Z Baldspots (Steph, Beal) have a strong hold on the top of the league. They meet in Week 16 in what could determine the #1 seed.
Second tier: Greggg Popacapabish (Vucevic, Harden, LaVine) is 9 GB and holding on to 3rd. Giannis Aneedtocrapo (Holmes, Rozier) is 11 GB with a ton of guys ranked outside of the preseason top 100. Beal or No Beal (Jokic, Murray) is a little further back at 16 GB. Beal or No Beal beat Greggg Popacapabish 6-2, so this group is very much up for grabs. Beal or No Beal faces Giannis Aneedtocrapo in Week 16. All three of these teams should make the playoffs.
Bubble: Four teams are within 2 games of the last 3 playoff spots. None of these teams are likely to break into the Top 5 absent a huge collapse at the top. Ph's Spurs Donks (Luka, Mitchell) is 23 GB and D14 (VanVleet, Butler) is 23.5 GB. Ph and D14 have a key match up this week that should give the winner a playoff edge. Both teams have made the most move this season, so this could be a chess match.
Bam-ItsDameTime-isle (Dame, CP3) is 25 GB. isle has a tough matchup against #1 Baggy Magnums this week. He finishes with Ph and Popacapabish.
Medium Baller Brand (Kawhi, T. Harris) is 25 GB and coming off a tough 2-7 loss to Ph. He faces Popacapabish, Beal or No Beal, and D14 the next three weeks.
Bottom Tier: Three teams still have a shot at the playoffs but need to come through big the next few weeks. Paint Touches (Lebron, Sabonis) is 28 GB and within reach of the Bubble, but has Aneedtocrapo and Baggy Magnums the next two weeks.
Hermits United (Collins, Suns Bridges) is 33.5 GB. Hermits should pick up some steam with a win over Googling Fournier but has huge games against isle and Paint Touches before facing #2 Cody Z in the last week.
Googling Fournier (which I finally did after Fournier tweeted about it) is a dead team starting LaMelo and SGA with CJ on IL.
