re: Getting the 8 seed seems extremely unlikely now

If Denver goes....

Sac W, Wash L, Bos L, @Sac W, Lakers W, Clips L, Hou W, @ Hou L, Cle L, @Ind W, NO L, @ Por W, @Cha L, @ Mia L, @NO L, @ Hou L, NO W, OKC L, @Dal W, @ Por L

36-46

And Pels go...

@Lakers W, @Utah L, Tor W, @Cha W, Por W, @Mia L, Hou W, Minn W, Mem W, @Hou L, @Den W, @Utah L, Dal W, Sac W, Chi L, Den W, @Den L, @GS L, @LAL W, @Por W

37-45

That has us both upsetting the Rockets once at home, Denver upsetting Pacers on the road, Portland on the road, and Dallas on the road. Denver is MAYBE upset once by us on the road.

Do you really think something like that is implausible?
