All the Pels need for 50 wins is to go 11-7 the rest of the year.

I think they have exceeded all our expectations. They look like they are just hitting their stride at the perfect time. Now go beat Cleveland at home in a really tough game Wednesday and make a statement. Oh and frick YOU STEPHEN A SMITH!! He’s still but hurt Zion didn’t go to the Knicks in the draft so he makes fun of him instead like a bitch.

Honestly, the only thing that has exceeded my expectations is the number of games that Zion and BI have played. If you told me before the season that Zion and BI would both play 70+ games, I would expect them to win around 50 on the season.

Pels have only won 50+ games 1 time ever. This would be awesome.

This is a young team. Getting to 50 wins will do wonders for their mindset.

Nice not to worry about play in

We're getting there but certainly haven't crossed that bridge just yet.

Yeah, what is it, 2 loses to 7 seed?

Correct. 2 games up in the lost column, 2.5 games up overall.

That can change real quick. Get it to 4 games, and I'll feel good about it.

We have 6 easy wins left on the schedule against vastly inferior opponents.


outside of that we have:
Clippers
@Magic
@Miami
OKC
Bucks
Celtics
Suns
Magic
@Suns
@Kings
@GSW
Lakers


Going 5-7 against those teams gets us to 50 wins, assuming we beat a Cleveland team sitting everyone, Blazers twice, Nets, Pistons, Spurs.

With the way we are playing right now, as long as we stay healthy I think there's a really good chance we'll be at 50 wins.

OKC through Phoenix at home stand will show a lot about the Pels. It's a tough stretch and Pels statistically show no major advantage when at home as opposed to the road. In the playoffs, where margins are smaller, you'd like that home win% higher.
