Atleast our second game of a back to back is Minnesota

Thunder play Trail Blazers on their second game of a back to back

Indiana is the game to keep an eye on. Need some help.

I agree we catch T-Wolves at perfect time

I see us losing to either Houston or San Antonio but not both. If we do lose to both it stands to reason that we are not ready for the playoffs against a 1 seed anyway.

I see OKC dropping to either Indiana or Portland.

Nothing would make me happier than us win our next two and they drop one of the next two so that way the Spurs game is pointless.

Yes, at a glance.

They also shut down AA for some games. Still, they have been playing, will continue. If guys are dinged up, maybe they rest those guys (e.g. AA), but do not expect them to lay down against the team that's their main division rival.

Plus, the Thunder are not lighting it up, and LA should give them fits.

I just think it is more likely than not, but not like 90%, that we need playoff tickets. The difficulty seems overstated. Last week, some people were characterizing the situation as needing to win out, for example. It is not as difficult as that certainly, because they have not won out, and it is probably also not the case now.

2-1 though just to be sure
Houston game is the biggest in years for this team. I am very intrigued as to how they respond to the pressure of playing a very good team on the road with playoff stakes

Losing to the Timberwolves is far harder to make up, as going 2-1 with wins over HOU+SAS is the hardest 2-1 in our remaining games. Less drama, but logically it is more important. Lose it... Problems even going 1-2 yeah?

playoff experience is invaluable. i don't think anyone is counting the pels out of these games. we just all know they will be extremely difficult.

I want Davis to see what the playoffs are all about

we would get 2 home games to rock the blender and also hopefully build some fan support

I feel like if we beat Houston that would likely mean we're in. Can't see the Thunder going 2-0 on a back to back the way they've been playing. Also, cannot see us dropping such a crucial game to Minny.

I don't think they're locked in... but they need a lot to happen to advance

Blazers have 4th seed locked up. No matter what. They probably will be resting vs thunder. Ugh!
Not a good sign

Memphis, Clippers, and Spurs all tied for 2nd. Memphis plays @GSW and vs. Indy, Clippers play vs. Denver and @ PHX, and Spurs play vs. PHX and @NOP. Looks like no matter what, Spurs will play all out Wednesday night

Pacers winning was more likely than Houston win, which had sub-0.500 chances.

Minne likely drops both, and the Blazers win is more likely than the Spurs win.

As noted here and in other threads: Minne game is the one must-have, Pacers win (check) amd Blazers win are the more likely ponies to come in. All the rest is just nice-to-have.
