Assuming they beat bulls/cavs how do you see the other 8 going?

Schedule gets considerably easier after after that and 26 of the pels final 40 are against sub 500 teams

The Pels have the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA (per ESPN). We stay healthy and we make a playoff run.

Nothing about those 10 games are “easiest”.

I’d be very happy with 5 wins.

Look at the last 15 games though. Pels should be favored in all of those except the 76ers and even that one will be at the blender, so it’ll probably be a pick em. Those games are the reason the Pels have the best chance to make the playoffs (46%) ahead of Portland (30% and 2 games up on the Pels now) and Grizzlies (12% and 3.5 games up), according to FiveThirtyEight.

Also Pels only have 5 back to backs left on the schedule so Zion should play in most of the remaining games and only one of those back to backs are in the final 15 games.

I think the closer we can get to that 8 seed by those final 15 games, the better chance we get the playoffs. If we can be even with the 8 seed at that point, we are pretty much a lock to make the playoffs, so that’s what I’ll be rooting for.

6-4 clippers could be a close game if Jrue and jj are able to play.

Houston could be a close game with the team riding a hot win streak and Houston seamingly struggling lately.

i know. I just don't think that easiest schedule remaining starts just yet. We've got a lot of games remaining against the bottom of the east, and we should be able to win a lot of them.

The easiest part i think starts after the next 5 games.

Clips and Boston are tough games. Memphis is playing great right now, like we are. Don't konw what to say about the Spurs, but i'd never call them a probable win. One positive is Murray is out for Denver for a while.

I think it's not a crazy thing to think we can win 12 of the last 15, and the good thing about those last 15, is that we play the Spurs 3x and the Grizz 2x, and that's likely who we will be competing with for the 8 spot, so we really are in a good position right now if we can just keep up the above .500 winning percentage from here on out. We need to go 25-15 the rest of the way to finish 41-41. We've got 4 sets of 10 game stretches to close the season out. 6-4 in each of them gets you to 40-42. I think that's definitely doable if we can stay healthy.

Even if we don't make the playoffs, finishing the season at 41-41 would be a huge energy boost going into next year, b/c that means you played at a 50+ win pace for the last 2/3's of the season, and that's something to be proud and excited about.

Easiest in the west at least according to Tankathon. But at least the teams were competing with now for the 8th spot have much tougher schedules. I agree if were full strength we have a great shot.

no one dared answer the question op posed.

How many wins out of 8?

Teddy says 3.
But maybe he said 5.
