Sons, there have been plenty of legitimate gripes and concerns re the Pels to date. With that said, the schedule is about to lighten up SIGNIFICANTLY over the next two months.

It’s time to make a run at the 4 seed. Flock up.

that it is.

the schedule is very manageable for 6-4 10 game stretches until March. The last 14 games of the season, 7 of them are against either the Spurs, Rockets, Celtics, Cavs, Warriors.

I would hope by the all star break we have set ourselves up nicely to win at least 45 games.

7 games left this year. 4 on the road. I think 4 wins is realistic, 5 wins is doable if they play well.

Pels currently .5 games back from the 5 seed, 1.5 games back from the 4 seed.

We should win 8 of the next 11 games, but will probably win 7. Tomorrow's game should be a gauge. IF we keep the momemntum and go beat beat Denver on the road like we should, then I think we roll. Hopefully Malone decides to sit Jokic one more game, but I doubt it.

8 of 11 would be awesome. 6 games above .500 would be a nice and unfamiliar place for the Pels.

I think we end up the 5th seed if we stay healthy and get Solo back with a couple months left. 6th seed at the very least. Ideally I’d like the 6th if that means San Antonio in the first round.

We only play the Nuggets 3 times this year, so the winner of this game owns the tie breaker. That could be very important to both teams so if Jokic can go they should play him.

also it is not certain how he will look after injury

no matter what - very important game.
tiebraker might be useful

Pels already lost two games to Minny (0-2) - 2 games left. chance for a tie
vs PTB (1-1) 2 games left
vs UTA (0-1) 3 games left
vs. OKC (1-0) 2 games left

those games might be worth gold in April

Hopefully some of these teams will be resting guys by then.

Need to finish at least with 6 seed or else first round knockout will be inevitable.

Warriors only suited up 2 starters and still beat whomever without curry and green and swaggy p and the big palooka.
houston is 1 seed.
6th place or better is a must and it looks like a horrible last two weeks. Might go oh for last 6.
