Memphis will be an underdog in every remaining game. They likely luck into one win.
Same thing with the Spurs. I see one or maybe two wins left for them.
Sacramento will be favored over only the Nets. They also likely have one or two wins left in that schedule.
Portland, though, could go 3-3 with their remaining games. They will beat the Nets, the Sixers are in the middle of an identity crisis, and they have a shot against the Nuggets and Mavs. I think that 2-4 is a real possibility, though.
And then you look at our schedule, and you see that we should be favored in every game. What's odd is that, coming into this tournament, I thought the Magic would be an easy win -- and now I think that could be the toughest game we have left.
If my guesses about the other teams are correct, then we likely need to go 5-1 in our remaining games to feel comfortable in getting the #9 slot (with a real chance at #8).

Utah and OKC will be tough. I'd say we, at best, are a bit above 50% to beat them, not sure why anyone would think MEM is just an auto win for us.
Problem with the last 3 games, TOR and MIL have nothing to play for and BOS may not either. It's entirely possible at least 2 and maybe all 3 of those games have starters playing limited minutes or not at all.
Memphis could easily go 3-3.

quote:They play us twice, no reason to think we'll win both. LAL the final game of the season, nothing to play for. SAC likely gets 3 more wins IMO, certainly not "likely" to just win 1 or 2.
