I mean... they scored 64 points in the 2nd half alone

the problem is they gave up 76

they scored 27 in the 4th

but gave up 43

the offense was there to win in the clutch... the defense wasn't

the Nuggets have made it a 2 possession game with more than 1:30 remaining against the Suns

trying to pull off a comeback from down 20 at halftime

ETA: nevermind... Suns win 100-93

These last 2 games without Jokic have made the strongest case for Jokic for MVP.

it's irritating me to no end that the Lakers have won the 1st 2 games of a 5-game road trip... and looking at the upcoming opponents... may end up going 5-0 on it

It’s time to accept that they are pretty good, especially at full strength.

Looking like Pels and Mavs fighting for the 9 seed to me. I'd love to be wrong but its the most likely scenario given the schedules.
-Pels have some breaks on our schedule but its still the toughest.
-Lakers might make it to a top 6 seed, kind of hope they do so we don't have to play them.
-Wolves are playing too good not to beat everyone on the schedule outside of us.
-Mavs could lose their next 4 or win their next 5 depending on which team shows up
-Thunder probably aren't playing well enough to pass us, especially with their schedule. They blew their easy wins this past week.
-Jazz are done

Best realistic scenario would be GS and LAL being 5 and 6, Clippers falling to 7, Wolves at 8, Pels 9 Thunder 10. Then go beat the Clippers without P George again.

Nahh, we gonna be 6th seed and miss the play in altogether.

Zion is coming back in the next couple games, that’s going to give the team a huge boost in confidence.

Bruh we are pretty much tied for the 7th seed and 1-2 games back from the 5 seed.

“Best realistic scenario” is NOT 9th place…..

Realistic scenario? Yeah. BEST? Hell no

Meaning with their new trade pieces paired with at least semi healthy Lebron and AD.

I think we have to hope the Pels go 4-1 with wins over the Clippers and Wolves. That would give the Pels the head-to-head tie breaker. I doubt we get out of the play-in. We need to be at minimum 8th if not 7th to give them a chance.

I don’t feel real confident of the Pels surviving some ref shenaigans if they are 9th or 10th.

I fully expect the Lakers to be 6th at minimum. There schedule is weak and the leqgue has been helping them biy with the officiating and FT advantage. Kind of ridiculous at this point.

all playoff teams. if they decide they need to go full go vs pels it's extremely difficult .
and the worst team of the 5 is Minnesota. last game. they will surely need the win to stay in or improve in the play in jumble.

best you can hope is memphis and sacto are so set they cannot fall out of 2 and 3 so the pels games are rest days.

So if we go 2-3 rest of the way,

Thunder need to go 4-0 to jump us and mavericks needs to go 4-1 to tie us?

If that’s true I feel like 41-41 is getting the Pels into the playoffs.

Yea, obviously not a lock but at this very moment, making the play in isn't a concern for me

It's getting the 6 seed, and at the very least the 8th seed.

Fighting for 6/8/10 is just soooooo much more critical than 7/9

We are one of those teams that plays much better at home than on the road, and four of our five remaining games are at home.

I think that 3-2 is the realistic expectation, and 4-1 is what we could hope for, especially if we get Zion for the last two games.

Heat up 15 on the Mavs in the 2nd

If that result holds... our magic # to the play-in would fall to 3... and I think we make it 2 with a win tonight
