Sons

I dream of a day when all of Pels talk is gathered together at a bar watching us skullfrick the warriors in a game 7 of the western conference finals

Durant shoots, AD packs his shite into the uppers, the buzzer sounds

We all rejoice and grab the pelibro to your right’s penis

So what’s the path to the 4th seed? Pels win the final 2 and Jazz lose one?

4th seed still in reach. Utah has @LAL, GS, and @POR. Win out and we can do it.


Here's the problem. In order for us to get to 4 Utah needs to lose twice. Once they lose once, Portland clinches the 3 and rests players for their game against Jazz.

We'd lose tiebreaker in that case.

MIN 45-35 MEM DEN
DEN 45-35 POR, MIN
 


Looking at this, if the Pels win out, I don't think they can be worse than the 5 seed. Min and Den can't get to 48 wins, and we'll have beaten the Spurs to give them 47 wins max.

Right, but I’d rather be 6th than 5th if possible.

UTA (46-33) plays the LAL, GSW, and POR to close out. Pels need to win both games and Utah must lose 2 for us to vault

OKC (46-34) will probably win both of their final two games (MIA and MEM) but we have the tiebreaker and will be ahead if we win out.

SAS (46-34) has SAC and NOP. Big for final game for playoff positioning

MIN (45-35) has MEM and DEN. I'd put my money on them winning both so the Pels need to win both games since we don't have the tiebreaker

DEN (45-35) has POR and MIN. So the deck is stacked against them



Cant look past the Clippers but if we win (and I think we will win that one) the game against SAS will likely determine if the Pelicans will be 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th seed. This is nuts

Actually, looking again, I think they'd be 4th if they won out. OKC could get to 48 wins, but I think the Pels have the tiebreaker against them. Would you rather 6th than 4th? I don't want to play Utah, but it would be hard to root against home court in the first round.

Pels, Utah and OKC could all end up at 48-34. Adding the Jazz to our tiebreaker might not be great for us. We might go 2-0 and actually drop

I don’t care who we play. Let’s just get in the playoffs first. You guys are overestimating the ability of this team to lay an egg on any given night.

Yeah, over looked the Jazz possibly being in the tiebreaker too.

Looks like Jordan and Williams might not play Monday. Per birdwrites on twitter
