If we go 8-4 down the stretch of these last 12, where do we land?

In your opinion? Is it good enough to lock into the playoffs, would we be the 5,6,7 or 8?
We have a pretty tough stretch though, Cavs, Rockets, Warriors, Blazers, thunder and spurs again. Hopefully we win all the other games we are supposed to win and take a couple of these.

Hope to play warriors.
Finish number doesn't matter.
Bay boys have key injuries.
May or may not be 8 guys healed up by playoffs

GSW has our number. Not no. Not hell no. But frick no. You don’t WANT to play the defending champs cause they’re coasting through the regular season.
Anyone but GSW we could be competitive against.
I’m kind of hoping for Houston and going for the GSW/Dallas type 1/8 upset.

Definitely good enough to lock down a spot considering the 3-10 seeds will also be beating up on each other during this stretch. If we go 8-4, we are atleast a 5/6 seed imo.

48 wins? That would probably put us 5th

If NOLA goes 8-4, missing out on the playoffs means that Denver is going 10-2 (or something like that, they may have more games played)
The current magic number is 11 wins, being that DEN holds the 2-1 tiebreaker

Clippers and Nuggets have equally tough road laden schedules coming up. I believe they'll both miss out.
Portland and OKC are too far ahead (for the pels) to catch and will battle for the 3/4 spots.
Utah has a bunch of cupcakes left so I feel they're a lock for the 5th seed with a real chance to sneak up and catch OKC or Portland.
6-8 will be some combo of NOP, Minny, and SA. Considering schedules I'd say Minnesota finishes 6th and the final game of the season between NO and SA will decide 7-8.

OKC is only 2 games ahead, they could easily fall back into the fray with a couple losses.
Utah has the easiest schedule so they'll probably make it.
Minny is weird right now and Spurs continue to defy logic but have the toughest schedule remaining.
LAC and Denver need to start reeling hard to give the Pels a shot bc 6-6 is the likely finish for us.
Rooting for Miami and GSW tonight.

Fair assessment from all. Thanks for input. I feel confident myself in a 6 or 7 seeding.

I think 6-6 sneaks us into the 8 seed. Clippers have a brutal schedule and Denver has a tough schedule too and they’ve been struggling recently. 8-4 gets us the sixth IMO. Think we’d finish over Minny and one of Thunder/Jazz/Spurs. Especially if two of those 8 wins are against the Thunder and Spurs which would give us the tiebreaker over both

Minny has a cupcake schedule to finish and they also have the tiebreaker over us. OKC needs to win 6 of their last 10 (which won't be easy with their schedule but definitely isn't impossible) to overcome our potential 8-4. The Jazz have a tough schedule (GSW twice, SAS, MIN, LAC, and POR) but they have the tiebreaker over us and have won 21 of their last 23 so I'm not holding my breath. Spurs will drop.
8-4 gives us a chance at #6 but it's by no means a guarentee

I find it hard to believe that the Nuggets will win 45 games, or the Clippers will win 46 games

We aren't missing the playoffs.
Even if we go 6-6 to close it out, the Nuggets have to go 8-3 and the Clippers have to go 10-3. With their schedules, that is very highly unlikely.
It should not be hard for us to win 6 games.
Dallas, Memphis, Phoenix should be 3 easy wins.
Win 1 of Indy or LAL
Lets just assume they lose all 3 to Houston/Portland/Cleveland, even though i think they should be able to win 1 of those.
Then you have OKC, @GSW (who won't be playing anyone), @Clips, Spurs at home. you can win 2 of those, and if you can't, then you don't deserve to make the playoffs anyway.
