12-5 would be great but I don't see it, more like 9-8

I think 9-8 is more unrealistic than 12-5. I have us winning every home game down the stretch minus the Warriors (finishing 7-1 @ Home) and losing to teams with a better record on the road (finishing 4-5 on the Road). To go 9-8 we would basically have to not beat a team with a better record than us home or away the rest of the year, and since we are now playing our best ball I find that extremely unlikely.

vs Denver W
vs Bucks W
@ Suns W
@ GSW L
@ LAC L
vs Houston W
vs Kings W
vs T'Wolves W
@ LAL W
@ Kings W
@ Blazers L
vs GSW L
@ Griz L
vs Suns W
@ Rockets L
@ T'Wolves W
vs Spurs W

I think that's very realistic and puts us at 11-6 which means we end up at 47-35. That's really dicey to make the 8th seed. 48 is kind of a magic number in my book so 47 is really asking for help from the Thunder.
