re: Sprint for the 8th Seed

I think that this is right. Maybe stars get lower minutes in the last two games of this thing, but these players are going to have to play every other day in the playoffs, so they might as well get their bodies in that rhythm.

Go Nuggets!!!!!!

Best case or most likely case?

Don’t want anything to do with having to beat the Blazers twice.

Ok so if we win next two and Portland loses next two we will be even in wins . We will be up 2 games up in loss column . Asking are we above them or still below them in standings?

Nothing matters except us winning.

If we win out, we are going to be in, IMO.

If we don't win out, we will not be.

Just win.

for us to get 8th Portland needs to lose twice though am I right. Not worried about Memphis , Sa or anyone else above us in standings today

Pelicans win next 2, Portland loses the game tonight, then We are ahead of Portland. 31-38 vs 31-39 Portland would be .5 behind Pelicans

That’s right. In order to finish above Portland we need to have 2 more wins than them the remainder of the season.

If we go 4-1 we need them to go 2-3 to pass them. If we go 5-0 and they go 4-1 they will be ahead of us in the standings

ETA I’m thinking Portland goes 3-2 in their remaining games so we’d need to go 5-0 to finish ahead of them in that case. I’m still having trouble writing off the Spurs and Grizzlies. It’s gonna be a tight race.

Pack it up boys, we'll try again next season.

Yeah pack this one in. We are done.
