Who will be the 8th Seed for the Western Conference?

The western conference is a very hard conference to play in if you are on a NBA team. There are a lot of star powered teams in the West. But not as much in the eastern conference. So it is very hard to get into the playoffs in the west.

That being said, who will be the eight seed in the west? It is a three way race between Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers, Zion and the Pelicans, and Ja Morant and the Grizzles. Sadly my boy Derrick Rose is not in the race of the East. So who will win the race?

There is about a month break off so the Blazers might be healthy with there big mini 3 of Dame, CJ, and Nurk, Now they added Whiteside so one of the 2 centers might be coming off the bench so they will get more big man scoring when the back court is out resting. Or they will do what the Pelicans used to do with Bogey and AD. That would get a lot of rebounds and they will have Carmelo Anthony as his normal potion, a small forward. So the Portland team could be in the race.

Next is Zion and the Pelicans. Zion is a young great player. He will not be stressed out in the playoffs, he will just play normally. Then he has JJ Redick on his team. Someone who is a veteran and he will not be nervous to be in the playoffs because he has been in the playoffs every year of his career. So with the just straight up talent as well as the leadership from JJ I think they have a very good shot at making the 8th seed.

Lastly is Ja Morant and the very talented Grizzles. They do not have a lot of veteran leadership on there very young team. The oldest player on the team Anthony Tolliver. They only have 2 player that are 30 years and older one of them being Anthony Tolliver. The other one just turned 30. So I do not think that they have much of a chance with the age. The talent is there but I don't know if they will have enough mentor ship to push through to get the 8th seed.

So in conclusion, I think that Zion and the Pelicans have the best chance to make it into the playoffs. They have talent and a lot of veteran mentor ship, mostly from JJ Redick.
