re: The race for 8th.... where we stand (Updated 3/11)

Memphis was getting dogged on here, you weren't alone. I got hated on just from saying they were a good team.
I hate saying it but I think you can stick a fork in us. I get the easy schedule but we're not beating bad teams and losing to low end playoff teams. I can see us finishing about 12-8 and thats not enough.
Even if when there are 10 games left and we have no shot, I just hope we keep fighting and give everybody hell.

Yeah it's gonna take a crazy late season run like Philly had a couple years ago. Either way I do think we do well down the stretch with the way the schedule eases up, which should help build up excitement for next season even more.

Ive enjoyed this season. Losses like the Minnesota game are frustrating but games like last night dont bother me much, next year Zion wont be completely gassed in a back to back. With a fully in shape Zion or a healthy JJ, we win that game.
Most of us didnt think we were a playoff team going into the season with a healthy Zion, i've been pleasantly surprised how well these guys have played with each other given how many new players and crazy rotations that have had to run.

Need to go 15-5 to get to .500
It would take winning the games we should and playing hard in the tossups. Every game matters. Rest players on the 2 b2b guaranteed losses.
11 Remaining games we should absolutely win - @Min, Atl, SA, Sac, Mem, NY, @At, @ Wash, Char, Phx, Wash
2 games we will lose - @Utah, @LA
7 toss ups - need to win 4 - Mia, @Sac, @Mem, @Orl, @SA, Phily, @SA
Hopefully SA is shut down that last game. We can get those aways at Memphis and Sacramento. Beat MIAMI on Friday and i'll be a believer again.

both home and away with sacto and memphis and 3 with spurs must be wins.
kings will be trouble.
griz will have jaren and clarke back.
should be exciting.
phila is wounded. they will rest embiid if their position is locked up.
great stuff.

538 has us finishing 39-43, one game ahead of the Blazers and Grizzlies and tow ahead of the Kings.
But their model also has us at 69% to beat the Heat tomorrow night, so that really is a must win.

As sad is it sounds . . . For the 15th year in a row . . . I can’t wait until next year.
I feel our coach handicaps us.

Pretty sure the kings get to play the absolutely decimated 76ers tonight. No embiid or simmons i think
Posted on 3/5/20 at 8:07 pm to LilWezyAna
And the Kings will probably take care of them. Meanwhile Pels out here losing to everbody.

So much for analysts theory that Houston is the only team that can matchup with LAC

i get the kings.
phila quicker to loose balls. harris having his way.
phila up by 8.
8 minutes to go in first half.
phila up 75 59 mid 3rd.
phila hitting from 3
kings not.
total dominance and fox holding his shoulder.
sacramento schedule is tough next ten. two v pels.
pels win those, puts sacto in rear view mirror.

Seriously,anyone who thinks that we're out of it should look at the Grizzlies remaining schedule. Out of the 20 games that they have left, I see 3 games in which they'll be favored: home games against the Hawks, Magic, and Knicks. Their next easiest games are probably the two home games that they have against the Thunder-- I don't know if they would be favored in those or not. They will likely be underdogs in the other 15.

We aren't out of it but we will need to do our part and get some help. I do think Memphis fades but Portland concerns me now that they got Lillard back healthy. Their schedule is not much harder than ours.

Grizzlies aren’t the only threat now. Even with an easy schedule, it’s hard to trust that the team will be consistent enough to win all of the games they need to win to get in. With every loss, the mountain to make up becomes much taller. I have no doubt they’ll make it a race to the very end, but they are a fragile club with too many flaws to trust right now. They have a lot of issues to correct.

The next 4 games will tell us a lot about this Pelicans squad.
