    "Only" 6 games back. Maybe we can even get home court advantage for the 1st round?

    We can knock them ou of the playoffs. Make the playoffs ourselves and still have a lottery pick.
    Make it happen blazers!
    7th seed!!!!?

    Perhaps some would benefit from seeing "you can only create a new thread once every 24 hrs"

    Don't worry Memphis won't get Down that far but if they continue to loose we could have back to back pick.

    No. It's currently #20, and they have a hard remaining schedule, so the Hawks will probably catch them - very soon. In which case our pick becomes #19. If they succumb to their hard sched, they could easily fall further, but right now no one else is breathing down their necks.

    I'd be happy with #19, very happy with #18, and absolutely thrilled to get to #17 or better. Lotto not gonna happen.

    Memphis is sitting at #20 right now, with Atlanta (#19) a half game back. Indiana (#18) is only 2.5 games back, Detroit (#17) 4, Chicago (#16) 4.5, Miami (#15) and Milwaukee (#14) 5.0 games back. With 17 games left for Memphis, I could see them sliding at least 2 spots, and potentially 5.

    Memphis' remaining schedule:
    vs ATL (L)
    vs MIL (L)
    @ CHI (L)
    @ ATL (L)
    vs SAS (L)
    @ NOL (W)
    @ SAS (L)
    @ GSW (L)
    @ SAC (W)
    vs IND (L)
    vs DAL (L)
    @ LAL (W)
    @ SAS (L)
    vs OKC (L)
    vs NYK (W)
    vs DET (L)
    vs DAL (L)

    Memphis could easily finish 4-13. Upper end, 6-11.
