They're mad about the Iggy on Tyreke foul call. It was soft but Iggy did reach and slap him in the leg so it was a foul. The non travel call was egregious though.


That wasn't the only call to go their way, either. For one, Bogus shoved Ryno for an offensive rebound that lead to points late.

what was crazy about that play if Iggy does not slap at Tyreke, I think Tyreke still falls. He looked like he was losing control at that point and Iggy bailed him out.

Oh well the non travel call at the end evened it out

Just a week ago I believe our playoff odds were in the mid teens. Up to 59% now.

OKC has 4 games left.

If they go 3-1, we need to go 3-2 to clinch.

If they go 2-2, we need to go 2-3 to clinch...and so on...

Is that correct?

Yes. Our magic number is 4, any combination of Pel wins and OKC losses that add up to 4 from here on out and we're in.

Love that we have a magic number. If we beat MEM tonight I think we basically lock this down.

Keeping our draft pick looks a little rougher. If we win out we get to 47 wins. To finish above the 4 seed in the East that means Toronto and Washington both need to finish the season 2-3 or worse. Us winning out seems more unlikely than the Wiz/Raps going 2-3, but having both, or rather all 3 things happen seems pretty unlikely.

This seems odd. We're projected on Basketball Reference for 44.5 wins and OKC 44.4 but we're at 49.9% to make the playoffs and OKC 50.1%.

That's confusing...not that it really matters lol:

I'd think if we're projected .1 less losses and most importantly, the tiebreaker is in our favor, we'd have to be somewhere over 50%, which is why that 59% sounds about right.

no draft order is set by reg season record
non playoff teams are 1 thru 14 by descending record, then the playoff teams by descending record

if the pels dont make it they'll pick 14 no matter their record. if they do make it they'll pick 18 io 19 most likely

20 is still possible. We have to leapfrog Washington (44-33) and Toronto (45-32). We own the tiebreaker with Toronto so we could tie them, but Washington beat us twice so we'd have to beat them by a game.

Step 1 win out 47-35
Step 2 Toronto goes 2-3 or worse 47-35
Step 3 Washington goes 2-3 or worse 46-36
Make the playoffs and keep Asik Pick
