    Saw somewhere it's likely that each team playing 8 games will just be them playing the next 8 games on their schedule, of the 22 teams returning. SO if you have a game against GS scheduled, you skip it and go to the next one. If that's the case, our next 8 would be:

    Memphis
    Houston
    Dallas
    Boston
    Philly
    Brooklyn
    Utah
    Memphis

    Would love to somehow catch Memphis, but really, we just need to stay ahead of anyone else for 9th and we have a chance.

    Memphis will have:

    Portland
    Utah
    S.A.
    OKC
    Milwaukee
    New Orleans
    New Orleans
    Boston

    Are there even worthwhile free agents available?

    Evan Turner’s available. How worthwhile he would be is subject to personal interpretation.

    He was traded to the TWolves at the deadline. I don’t think he ever reported to Minnesota though and the rumor was he was going to be bought out. I can’t find any confirmation that that happened though. I think he’s in Portland though. Not sure if he could join the team if a buyout happened.

    Man I don’t even know what day it is.

    But if there are, Lakers will be ahead of the line to pick them up. When was the buyout deadline? Did it pass?

    So the teams aren’t playing the same amount of games overall so it’s not about losses. It’s about wins. If we are 9th in wins, we’re in.

    9 teams to get into the West, and we're tied for 9th. We just need to not F up.

    Not every team necessarily has 8 more games against top 22 teams.

    Oh for fucks sake, that actually hurts us because we had games vs the bottom 8 remaining teams. We would actually be two games short because the majority of the games we had left were against the crappy teams. ughhh

    So will we make up our games by playing the other teams that also need to make up games?
    Lakers v. Orlando/Miami
    Portland v. the other one
    Lakers v. Portland

    There, that does it. Do we want Orlando or Miami?

    LAL and MIA.

    And we'd have to beat MEM both times in the play in. This is going to be an uphill battle and pretty unfair considering we already played our schedule of tough games and were just entering the easy portion
