If the Thunder play .500 ball the rest of the way, they end up with 38 losses. The Blazers hold the tie-breaker against them so they'd JUST have to go 17-3 the rest of the way to get the 7th seed. Unless the Thunder totally implode, it's not happening.
I think that would qualify as an implosion, Gramps. I'm in favor, but it's not real likely. Of course, Westbrook may continue with the stat padding in his chase for the MVP, so you never know.
They averaged a combined 31.7 mpg. Not really the lynchpins of the team, but sure. Similarly, we'll be adding Evan Turner back to the roster this weekend after having missed a month since his hand injury. Who knows how well the team can perform once they all hit the court together?
For the first couple weeks, probably. I don't expect to get a decent feel for the Turner-inclusive squad until after the road trip.
That's the record we need to have over these final 20 games to just MATCH our record from last year. smh We finished last year at 11-9 over the last 20.
We are only 6 games behind Memphis and they play GS tonight so it could be 5 games by the end of the night. Starting tonight, if we go 9-1 in our last 10 and they go 3-7, we would tie the grizz and we own the tiebreaker. Is it likely? No but schedule-wise, it is definitely possible.
They have 3 road games and 6 home games... Knicks, Pistons, Mavs to end the season all at home. At kings tomorrow, only two hard games are Spurs/thunders (1 home 1 away) So, If you say we have some wins coming because we're at home, they do too, so 3-7 is highly, highly, highly unlikely. So the answer is no.
Damn Grizzlies are right there only 4 games back? What the hell happened to them? Damn we have their pick too
