East:

Who Gives a frick



West:

1. Golden State 41-9
2. Memphis 38-13
3. Houston 35-16
4. Portland 35-17
5. Dallas 35-19
6. LA Clippers 34-19
7. San Antonio 33-19
8. Phoenix 29-25

--------------------------

9. New Orleans 27-25*
10. Oklahoma City 27-25*

Games before All Star Break

Pelicans vs Indiana 2/11
Thunder vs Grizzlies 2/11
Clippers vs Rockets 2/11
Spurs vs Pistons 2/11
Suns vs Rockets 2/10 - Rockets win



So best case scenario is that Pels win, and everybody else loses, in which case -

6. Clippers 34-20
7. Spurs 33-20
8. Suns 29-25

9. Pels 28-25
10. Thunder 27-26






The Pels will have played 53 games by the All Star break. That would mean, in order for us to hit 47 wins, we'd need to go 19-10. Why 47 wins? Because frick you that's why. I don't think the 8th seed is hitting 50 wins this year. I think 45 is still too low though. So 47 it is.






*New Orleans owns a tiebreaker over OKC due to a better head to head record.

Other tiebreaker scenarios -

Pels vs Clips 1-1
Pels vs Suns 1-0
Pels vs Spurs 2-1



Also, the Spurs are making the playoffs. Just have them here because they're in the thick of it.

So it looks like we need to be big Rockets fans the next 2 nights.

I just don't have any faith Monty will lead us to the playoffs. Hope I am wrong

I actually agree with your numbers. It won't take 50 this year. But the Pelicans will need all hands on deck and play more consistently than they have been to go 19-10.

If only we had a dancing shark . . .

Excellent post.

I'm predicting a Clippers and Suns freefall. Thunder and Pelicans both make the playoffs and scare the ever-living frick out of the 1 and 2 seeds.

We squeak out a win tomorrow night and make our final push after the all-star break with a fully healthy roster and a big-arse chip on our broad shoulders.

Pelicans Talk hosts a playoff watch party at Heady's place. We all get fricking trashed as AD ascends to super saiyan and penetrates Dwight Howard en route to a first round upset. At least one beloved poster will die from a bad batch of shrooms, which C on Z will inevitably be blamed for when the cops arrive.

Pels square off against the Blazers in round 2 - easy sweep. More binge drinking and partying from the Pelisons. Quail Man flies in to attend. C on Z watches from a jail cell.

I'll be on life support for the WCF due to excessive over-flapping and a myriad of hard drugs. I will also catch syphilis from being pity-banged by one of J Smoove's leftovers.


Someone will have to fill me in on the rest of the happenings when I awake from my coma in June.

Go Pelicans.
