It will be pretty impossible to predict.
Some players will be somewhat out of shape having expected the year to be over. Some will be ready and raring to go. Some might not take these playoffs seriously and be unhappy with the isolation from family aspect. A .500 team could channel their inner preseason Oilers and go on a ridiculous run.
But damn if the x factors won't make it watchable to see what goes down. And even though the best constructed team may not win, it's undeniable that the best performing team over the duration will.
