And doing the math we are sitting in a pretty good position. If we can go 6-5 the rest of the way that gives us 50 wins. OKC would have to go 8-1 to pass us NO Pelicans would need to go 9-2 (or 10-1 if we win tie breaker) Spurs same as the Pelicans Minnesota needs to go 9-1 (or 10-0 if we win tie breaker) Utah needs to go 9-1 (or 10-0 depending on tie breaker) Denver and Clippers can't catch us if we go 6-5. I like our chances.
We only have the tie breaker for OKC. We have to win our next games against NOP, SAS, & UTAH to maybe get the tiebreaker. Otherwise we loose the tie between each of those teams. It's very unlikely we'll get the tiebreaker against MIN. Portland is ahead far enough that it hopefully doesn't come to the tiebreakers.
I really liked the way our team played last night. Looks like we do have a shot at 50 wins! Id say that Neil & Paul feel like they are right on schedule in their 3rd year of a huge re-build. Pretty impressive, imo!
I liked that I hated the way we played because we didn't play as good a game mentally as we've done against Golden State recently. 50 wins is definitely in reach, and I think we can still get to 51. I'm cool with the streak ending here; gives us a chance to regroup after the fever breaks and get back on the wagon for the playoff push.
A lot of matchups in the Western Conference with playoff implications to be played yet. With so many teams battling for position it will make teams have to play their starters till the end.
Looks pretty similar to most of the teams in the playoff hunt. Portland-- 8 games against playoff contending teams with 5 on the road OKC-- 8 games against playoff contenders and 4 on the road NO-- 8 games with 4 on the road SA--8 games with 4 on the road Utah-- 7 games with 4 on the road Minnesota-- 4 teams with 2 on the road So other than Minnesota, our schedule is very similar to the other teams.
Because we are already talking about the reminder of the season in a thread already created. I’m honestly getting sick of these new guys creating a thread every time some random thought comes to mind. It’s lazy. I’m not sure how you guys rolled elsewhere, but here shit stays organized. Should have read the forum rules homie.
And before you come back with, “ I created an account here 9 years ago”....you are new here. And if that is your response, you should know we don’t clog up the main page with multiple threads about the same damn topic. Pretty easy concept to grasp right? I swear this place is falling apart in the last year.
I blame you. What did you think would happen after you drove away all of the good posters with your bragging and blurry photos? Does the expression you reap what you sow mean anything to you? BNM
and I am honestly getting sick of you thinking you can control what people post. Don't like it, ignore it.
