We are not going to get help. Only one option.

I sure hope someone starts having a tough schedule. It’s almost looking like 47 wins will barely get you in the playoffs (I’m kind of exaggerating but kind of not)

Yea 45 might not be enough
Posted on 3/6/18 at 8:26 am to NorthshoreTiger76
45 had been the cutoff probability wise but with all the other teams winning as well its creeping up to 46 and 47. That will change as the contenders play more games against each other.
45 should get you #8 depending on ties.
tonite is a straight up no fooling playoff game. The last 20 games are basically a play in tournament for the real tournament

HUGE measuring stick game for the Pels tonight.

Hopefully Emeka can play but he’s still doubtful

If AD/Jrue can keep this up they have a fighting chance at the 3-5 seeds. If they can't then they'll be fighting just to make the playoffs.

15 of the Spurs last 18 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
16 of the Clippers last 20 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
13 of the Thunders last 17 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
13 of the Blazers last 18 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
12 of the Nuggets last 19 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
10 of the Wolves last 16 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
9 of the Jazz last 18 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
14 of the Pels last 20 games are versus "playoff level" teams.
*Playoff level means top 10 in the West and top 8 in the East

So the Jazz have the easiest schedule but the most ground to make up. It sounds like it's a pretty evenly matched race to the end. I'll just repost this perfect description of the West for the day crew that might have missed it last night.

Jazz win again! After falling to 10th in the West, they've now won 15 of 17 (!) to climb all the way up to...
10th in the West.
Because the West is a flaming death gauntlet of nightmare fuel.

Good stuff.
Portland I see has a five game homestand starting tonight. They play the Knicks, Warriors, Heat, Cavs, and Pistons.
We just need to keep taking care of business. The March 27th game against the Blazers at home will be big as we can win the season series. If we drop that one I believe the next tiebreaker is conference record and ours is shite.
It will take at least 49 wins to get the 3 seed, imo. 13-7 is doable for us down the stretch, but unlikely with the whole 20 games in 37 days thing.

Ha, yea I saw that on twitter this morning.
It's absurd. The West is ridiculous right now. The Wolves might find themselves on the outside facing in if Butler doesn't come back before the end of the season.
The Spurs are struggling right now too.
ETA: seems like the Pels are somewhere around 3-5 in that group in terms of schedule difficulty (not taking into consideration of home/away or B2B games)

My pick to miss.
Defensively, they are an albatross without Butler and I don't think KAT/Wiggins can close out games still.

possibly, but they have a wide cushion in tie-breakers, and thus a greater margin for error

so basically we need to go shopping in Toronto. But Dallas, Miami, San Antonio Utah, and Cleveland isn't bad either
