I disagree with you about " 8-8 we don't deserve to go the playoffs." If we go 8-8 and are the 6th seed then yes we deserved it over everyone else. I don't care if we go 5-11 and make the playoffs with the 6th seed. Lol imagine a season like that where the 6th seed is a 6-10 team or something so crazy.
If we are 8-8 we aren't likely to be in the drivers seat in any scenario, and I'm certainly not gonna waste time going over playoff scenarios for that.
