We won a game, and dropped further down in the standings. It’s unfathomable to me how dumb some of you are.

it’s more than likely they don’t, but the playoffs are still a legit possibility. You’re speaking as though it’s impossible. It’s like a 30-35% chance

there will be some luck at play, there always is.
the tiebreaker with POR is a crucial 1st step

You thought the team was holding Ingram and Zion out to tank against Indy. You aren't looking too smart either.

We dont really have any reason to think this team will regress the 2nd half of the season. They're already picking up steam and they're only getting better. We might not make the playoffs, more than likely we wont, but I love seeing improvement and we're going to give people hell the rest of the way.

Pels and memphis both host portland.

Two losses for portland puts pels in tie with portland in loss column.

With a SA loss tonight we’re then only behind POR and Memphis. Memphis has the #1 toughest SOS remaining. Portland, not so much. Tomorrow against POR feels like a must win.

People have said there were "must wins" for two weeks now.

I dont think there are going to be must wins until after the all star break. We weren't sellers at the all-star break so we're going to try and make a push. The #8 will probably come down to the end and hopefully we're in the hunt close to the finish line. The last month of the season will have some must wins.

I would call the games against the teams we're competing against Must Wins. Our schedule is not as easy as it appears to be. Normally sub .500 teams are out of the playoffs at the end and will often be tanking. A lot of our games against those sub .500 teams this year are the ones we're competing for a playoff spot with, so those won't be easy games.

I agree there’s a long season ahead still but at home with a chance to gain a full game against a team we’re battling against is as crucial a game there is. This one may not matter at the very end but Portland is our most important opponent right now.

We have to at least split our two remaining games against POR if we want the tiebreaker against them.

The fact that this game is against our main competition for the #8 seed makes it basically count double, and the fact that it would give us the tiebreaker over them essentially gives us another win.

If we were to lose tomorrow, the game at POR would become a must-win. Since it's easier to win at home, let's just say that tomorrow's game is the most important game of our remaining schedule.

absolutely seems to be the biggest game remaining. really hope they let ingram play

looks like pels are favored by 2.5 currently with ingram as questionable
