re: Play-in Race Tracker Updated: 4/6

Just thought I’d note as I don’t see it mentioned. If we win any 1 of the next 4 games, we clinch at least a play in spot. To clinch the 8th seed and 2 bites at earning a real playoff series, we’d have to win at least 3 out of the 4 games remaining. (Without other helpful results).
We can also technically clinch a play in spot without winning a game although that would be depressing.
All of this to say, tomorrow is an important game. It’s a postseason clinching game. Hopefully we bring the juice and get it done, so we can ultimately pursue better positioning than the 9 or 10 seed.

I did as soon as the Mavs loss was confirmed yesterday (after the Jazz had already lost)

Let’s hope the Jazz can do us a solid tonight. I hope they’re still up for a fight.

Our goal has to be the 6th seed

They're benching 3 starters. League sent a memo. frick

It's not great for the draft pick, but part of me is thinking the best case realistic scenario for the Pels is to have the Lakers win their way to 5th making 6th easier for the Pels to get by owning the tie breaker with the Clippers and Warriors.

We’ll be okay draftwise no matter where we fall. Some solid talent in the mid to late teens that should still available.

Lakers at 5 and us at 6 is perfectly fine with me. I don't want to play the Lakers in the play in. You get to the 6th seed and you have a badass first round matchup. The Kings offense has been incredible but their defense is atrocious. That'll be an entertaining series.
Tonight is a big night. Lakers either semi put us in the rearview and the Jazz tap out or we are set up nicely with a Lakers L and a Pels W.

Lakers still show Bitch Davis, LeBitch and Russell as Doubtful as well. They might sit some of them b/c Utah is sitting everyone. LAL does play tomorrow night too, and the Clippers game is far more important than this one.

The Jazz are throwing in the towel, they are trying not to win another game.

Oracle is a special place, but they won’t make it out of the first round with their road play.
Getting Wiggins back, assuming he's in any kind of game shape, could be a very big deal for them. And its the Chase Center in San Francisco, not Oracle in Oakland. The warriors have gone full corporate.

Semi surprised seeing as if they beat the Lakers and the Thunder lose to GS, then their matchup with OKC would be deciding the 10th spot. Their draft spot is almost a lock even if they tank the next four because the teams below them are 2 games below and are tanking as well.

saw the same thing. doesn't really make a lot of sense.
They aren't getting better than 9th, even if they lost all their games. or they can play to win, and they are likely to finish no worst that 11th, b/c i doubt they win a play in game and make the playoffs.

Welp... tonight has sucked so far
Pels lose... can't clinch tonight
T-Wolves won in Brooklyn
