Critical games standings-wise (1 Viewer)

[Infoman]

Based on our remaining schedule, and the remaining schedules of PHX and SAC - My estimation is we have to get to 50 wins (Win 5 of the last 8) to avoid the play-in with certainty....

Find the 5 wins in the last 8 teams we face...

Suns
Magic
Spurs
Suns
Portland
Kings
Warriors
Lakers

Those blown 20 and 30 point leads earlier in the season are the reason we have to sweat this... and the reason that no game is a gimmie now.

At this point in the season, is any game not critical?

They all count but we have a brutal closing schedule against mostly WC contenders - so those games count twice as much in the standings.

Like Infoman said, all those blown 20 pt blown leads are coming back to bite us - I don't think we have enough cushion to avoid the play-in. We'll see.

Mavs just jumped us in the 5 hole. We’re 6th now

That sounds painful.

It's crazy to think that the West is so good that a team can get 50 wins and still barely avoid the play in
