Who will make the last train to the playoffs between the Spurs, the Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers, an

I think it's most likely the Pelicans. Currently, the NBA West Rankings Grizzlies, Pelicans, Spurs and Trail Blazers are ranked 8th and 11th.

Let's talk about the Spurs first, the Spurs are arguably one of the most successful teams in the NBA in the 21st century, and this started with the addition of Tim Duncan. Popovich did not hesitate to spend an entire season in order to win the top pick in the draft so that he could select Duncan, and later he got the top pick and selected Tim Duncan in the draft. The Spurs have always been known for their composure, and the Spurs coaches are all over the NBA teams, and Popovich's reputation and coaching ability have also been praised by many peers in the industry.

Since Leonard's departure, the Spurs haven't been as strong as they used to be. At the beginning of the season, they played exceptionally badly, DeRozan still performed tepidly, Aldridge's form was mixed, the team's squad was relatively old, there were no consistent scoring points, and the overall physical fitness of the team's players was lacking. This is one of the reasons why they failed to make it to the top 8 in the West, and judging by the current roster, it may be difficult to catch the last train of the playoffs.

Let's talk about the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers played well in the playoffs last season, and thought that there would be a good start to this season, but they lost consecutive games in the opening stage, Lillard and McCollum's state is worrying, with the addition of Anthony in the late stage and the recovery of the backcourt double-gun state, their results have been significantly improved, but just as the Trail Blazers are gradually on the right track. Lillard's injury cast another shadow over the Trail Blazers. From the current point of view, it is also very difficult for the Trail Blazers to enter the playoffs.

The Grizzlies, currently ranked eighth in the West, are a surprise this season. The team drafted Morant, who is currently No. 1 on the rookie list. He is mature beyond his peers, a commander on the pitch and a scorer.

However, the Grizzlies' momentum has declined recently, and the Grizzlies' overall strength is still lacking compared to the strong opponents in the West.

Finally, let's talk about the Pelicans. The Pelicans' Ingram has improved so quickly this year that he could be one of the favorites to be the most improved player of the year. The overall lineup of the team is balanced, and Holiday and Ball have good strength.

The team has been in hot form lately, and it is very likely that they will come back to catch the last train of the playoffs.

I think the probability of the Grizzlies and the Pelicans is relatively high, especially the Grizzlies, Morant has performed very well this season, and is likely to lead the team to the top eight.

The Grizzlies have a better chance of making the playoffs, because the Lakers deliberately released water, the Grizzlies just won a game, and when the Lakers meet the Pelicans, they will definitely go all out to prevent the Pelicans from entering the playoffs, and the Spurs and Trail Blazers are still far from the eighth win in the East.

As things stand, I think the Pelicans have a good chance of catching the last train to the playoffs. Because of the Pelicans' champion, he returned from injury. They have more firepower support for their team.

On April 28, 2017, Beijing time, the first round of the 2016-17 NBA playoffs continued, and the Memphis Grizzlies hosted the sixth game of the series with the San Antonio Spurs. At the end of the game, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 103-96, eliminated the opponent with a total score of 4-2, and entered the Western Conference semifinals. In the semifinals, the Spurs will play the Rockets.

In this game, the Spurs' Leonard played as solid as a rock, he shot 8 of 19, got 29 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.

The specific score is -22 (Spurs in front).

On the Spurs' side, in addition to Leonard, David Lee had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, Aldridge had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Parker had 27 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, and Mills had 10 points.

On the Grizzlies' side, Randolph had 13 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block, James Ennis had 11 points and 3 rebounds, Mark Gasol had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Conley had 26 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and Carter had 12 points and 4 rebounds.

Judging from the current situation of Shanjing, the ranking of the teams from 4th to 8th in the West will not be determined until the last game. On April 8, the Thunder defeated the Rockets, the Pelicans defeated the Warriors, the Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers, and the Nuggets defeated the Clippers, making the Clippers completely miss the playoffs!

In the final few games, the Spurs and Pelicans, Nuggets and Timberwolves will all play each other directly to determine the final standings.

At present, judging from the schedule, the Thunder is relatively easy and may rise to fourth in the West, the Heat have locked up the playoff qualification, and the Grizzlies have been rotten, so the Thunder have a good chance of winning two more games. The Pelicans and Spurs will play head-to-head later, and it will be the last round of the regular season; The Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Timberwolves will also go head-to-head, and it will also be the final round of the regular season. So after the final round of the regular season, maybe these teams will be able to have the final standings.

This year's Western Conference competition is quite fierce, and it also makes fans addicted. Except for the two teams of the Sharps Rockets and the Warriors, who locked the top two in the West early, the other teams are fighting against each other, and each team has good strength, so in the playoffs, every group of matchups will be full of highlights!

On April 22, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs in the 17-18 season continued. The Pelicans at home won 131-123 over the Trail Blazers after four quarters. In this way, the Pelicans swept the Trail Blazers with a total score of 4-0 and entered the second round of the playoffs.

According to the schedule, the Pelicans will face the winner between the Warriors and the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.

131 points set a new record for a single playoff score in the history of the Pelicans, and 42 points in the third quarter is also the Pelicans' all-time playoff single-quarter scoring record!

The specific scores in the fourth quarter were -42 and 36-31 (with the Trail Blazers in front). On the Trail Blazers' side, McCollum had 38 points and 3 assists, Aminu had 27 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Lillard had 19 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds on 7-of-16 shooting, Nurkic had 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Turner had 15 points and 5 assists, and the Trail Blazers only scored 6 points off the bench. On the Pelicans' side, Thick Eyebrows scored 47 points (a playoff career high) with 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, Holiday had 41 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds, Moore had 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 steals, Mirotic had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Rondo had 7 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists.

The Pelicans swept the Trail Blazers and have already qualified.

It's over, and the Trail Blazers are sent home at 4:0.

It turns out that Lillard still brags and can't get tough at the critical moment.

In the 2014-2015 season, the Rockets finished in second place in the West with a 56-26 record, successfully avoiding the fourth-place Trail Blazers and the fifth-place Grizzlies, and battled the seventh-place Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.

This season, the Trail Blazers are 51-31 in fourth place, the Grizzlies are 55-27 in fifth place, and the Mavericks are 50-32 in seventh place; Because the first place in each division automatically ranks in the top four, the Trail Blazers are in fourth place by virtue of their division advantage.

The top eight rankings for the entire West are:

First, the Warriors, 67-15;

second, the Rockets, 56-26;

third, the Clippers, 56-26;

fourth, the Trail Blazers, 51-31;

fifth, Grizzlies, 55-27;

sixth, Spurs, 55-27;

seventh, Mavericks, 50-32;

Eighth, Pelicans, 45-37.

Note: The first place in the division enters the playoffs and is automatically ranked in the top four; If the record is the same, look at the net win-loss relationship between the two sides; If the net win is the same, the net score is looked at.

First of all, the strength of the Rockets is enough to be in the top four, even if it really falls to the sixth or seventh, it is not afraid of the Grizzlies and the Trailblazers.

The Trail Blazers completed a seven-for-three deal with the Pelicans on the trade deadline, and Lillard has not played a game after analyzing various situations, and the Trail Blazers, who are determined to rebuild, have won four consecutive games and are currently in tenth place in the West and advanced to the playoffs.

To be able to play such an excellent result, but also to defeat the Pelicans management, thanks to the Pelicans management for sending them a top 3D player Josh Hart, Hart averaged 25 points per game in the three games after the trade, helping the team to win four consecutive games, in addition, Hart's defense has been great, his skills have become more and more comprehensive, and his shooting efficiency is very efficient, which has changed the Trail Blazers' much-criticized backcourt defense problems, and he and Simmons are known as the new Tear City two-gun combination.

The Spurs are now grinding their roster and developing their new star players, and the 10th place in the Western Conference playoffs is basically between the Trail Blazers and the Pelicans. Now the Pelicans management has chosen to trade Hart, who is in excellent form, for the veteran McCollum, who is strong and weak in offense and defense, which proved to be a very unsuccessful trade for the Pelicans, after the two teams after the trade, the Trail Blazers won four in a row, and the Pelicans are 1-3.

Finally qualified for the playoffs, the Pelicans management personally broke off the efforts and tacit understanding of the young players, thinking of using McCollum to add an insurance to the team, but McCollum thought that he was the boss, averaging as many as 24 shots per game, which directly disrupted the team's system and passing and cutting cooperation, and the defensive end was like a black hole to be targeted. Almost all players are watching McCollum singles these days.

The Pelicans management was frantically complained about by the fans, and they were scolded for not understanding bullshit, sitting on Ingram and Zion Williams for many years without results, the dignified Ingram did not have any treatment, replaced a McCollum with such a good Hart, personally sent the competitor to the playoffs, and pulled himself down, such an operation is estimated that the whole league will not find other management.
