    If they go 1-2 and we go 3-0, we are 8th.

    What we want is Memphis 1-2 and Blazers 3-0. That will mean all we have to do is beat Memphis once to go to playoffs. One caveat- Taylor Jenkins was an assistant under Buldenholzer who might rest all the Bucks to help the Grizzlies out.

    Even you have to admit that is a long shot. I can't see either team going 3-0, and the Blazers are as likely as the Grizz to go 1-2.

    You think Grizz will beat Toronto, Boston, or Milwaukee? How is it a long shot for us to go 2-1?

    The Grizz can't beat any of those teams if everyone who is healthy plays but that may not be the case unfortunately. So we just need to worry about winning our games... all of them, to guarantee we have a chance at the playoffs. We can definitely get on a roll, win the next three and then beating the Grizz two in a row will seem easy.

    Raptors seem to win no matter which guys they play. Celtics have been playing full out but they have nothing to lose so you're right, they might sit guys. I don't know what Stevens' philosophy is. Bucks haven't needed to win for months and they still roll out their starters for at least 25 minutes. They're winning a completely meaningless game against the Mavs right now.

    If we win tomorrow, Pelicans and Kings can both be bounced out with a loss. That'd be nice, I guess, esp since everyone picked the Pelicans to make the playoffs ahead of us. Pelicans play Spurs, Kings play Rockets.

    Yeah, we'll see what happens but like I said before, if our guys just play the way they're supposed to and Stotts plays it a little smarter and a little more efficiently on offense then we don't have to worry about anything. Beating that Memphis team two times in a row should be a given, I know it's not but if we play right it will be.

    Yeah, Phoenix and SA are playing really well so we have to win all of our games or they will likely pass us.

    SA playing REALLY well? They've been fine and have same bubble record as us and they barely beat Jazz with no Conley/Spider/Stieffle/Royce.

    It was this season and yes. Simons hit what looked like the game winning three and then Korkmaz hit a three at the buzzer to win.

    They have more than 3 remaining games hopefully. Best case scenario is 4 but most likely will be 5 and they will nedd to win at lest 4 of them 2 in a row at the end. Then they will have as many as 7 more to get another chance at 7 to get another chance at 7 to gat another chance at 7......

    Real close to figuring out how to ignore someone...... First he calls out "Dude". Then says they ain't "Winning Shit". Then he says "Grow up". Took 9 words to be a complete asshat three times?
