From what it looks like right now, these are your "8th seed" contenders...

Phoenix 11-8 (5-5 vs. west, 6-3 vs. east, 10 home games)

Sacramento 9-9 (8-8 vs. west, 1-1 vs. east, 8 home games)

Denver 9-9 (5-7 vs. west, 4-2 vs. east, 9 home games)

New Orleans 8-8 (6-5 vs. west, 2-3 vs. east, 7 home games)

We won vs. Orlando, Charlotte
We lost vs. Cleveland, Atlanta, and Washington

Not bad considering all 3 were away and all 3 are >.500

I thought I added them too, but here you go:

Oklahoma City 5-13 (4-5 at home, 1-8 on the road, 3-8 vs. West, 2-5 vs. East, 9 home games)

Last year they went 59-23 (.720), 34-7 at home, 25-16 on the road, 36-16 in conference.

If they do the same as last year the remainder of games, you're looking at: 30.5-10.5 at home, 19.3-21.7 on the road, so roughly 50-32 record.

They've played 18 games so far (won 5), to get to 50 wins they need 45 more wins out of 64 games or .703

The reason they are 8 and Sac is 7 is because of strength of schedule. If they're a legit 13-4 or whatever it is, I'm sure their odds will go up as they beat better teams. Like someone already said, you're not having 4 teams winning 60+ games this year, some of them will start coming back to the pack.

Sacramento meanwhile has some quality wins and we're probably the worst team they've lost to. I don't want to believe in them, but I can't totally dismiss them like in years past.

Yeah that seems about right. Not making the playoffs but just enough wins for us to question whether Monty keeps his job.

Yeah their schedule has been extremely easy so far. They will start to get tested more and more...but I think Houston is pretty good, they'll make the playoffs.

Pels are 15% to make playoffs at best. Do you really think they will finish with a better record than OKC? Beating out OKC is prob the teams best chance imo unless any of the playoff teams from last year lose 2 players from a long time. You ain't catching none of the top 7. jmo
