Let's Talk on the Morning of April 4th

[MichaelMcNamara]

The Pels schedule prior to then is:

vs. Sacto
va. Minny
at LAL
at Sacto

OKC has:

at Utah
at PHX (back to back)
vs. Dallas
at Memphis

Pels sweep their 4 and OKC goes 1-3 and we are in control of our own fate again. Plus, Furious 7 comes out. So, we can (and should) discuss that as well.

If Pels lose one of those 4, I am cool with throwing in the towel, but I have a feeling we will be having playoff conversations on April 4th, in between the times we are discussing the greatest action movie franchise in the history of cinema.

Furious 7 seems more promising than us sweeping those 4. Seriously, Paul Walker's brother is going to win an Oscar (or at least a Moonman) for that work.

[pawel]

I am in.
AD practised FT yesterday - so this situation (6/14) will not happen again.
Hopefully EJ will show some improvement from last game.

Hopefully there will be some more good news on Ryno - he will be very useful in this last stretch of games.

Furious 7 should sweep the Oscars. Just like 5 and 6 should have.

lets also hope GSW, houston & SA are locked into their spots come when we play them so they may rest guys

Sweeping those 4 and Okc losing 3 of 4 is highly unlikely there. Possible? Of course. We need the dominos to fall just perfect.

Which of those two things do you think is more likely - us winning the 4 or OKC losing 3?

[luckyman]

And that is less than a month away from May 2nd.

The plight of this frustrating team ain't over yet at all.

I honestly think us winning the 4 in a row is more likely.

Can't wait!!! Hoping we see the monster come out of Pacquiao that we haven't seen since Cotto.

[MichaelMcNamara]

And you don't think SA showed how OKC is kind of a fraud?

Like I said the last few days, OKC has not defeated a +.500 team on the road since February 4th. That would mean, we are looking at likely loses to Memphis and Phoenix. Leaving at Utah (top defensive team since AS break) and Dallas needing to go just 1-1 vs. OKC.

I would say both are around a 40-50% possibility.

[pelicanchamp]

It's crunch time. OKC is going to the playoffs. Pelicans fail in crunch time. It'll be close just to add to the torture.

[4Real]

I'm guessing you are assuming PHX will crash and burn like y'all said in Jan, and Feb. and now in March and has yet to happen.

You sure of this? Think I should bet Vegas this happens?

[Asteptooslow]

I think if Hayward plays for Utah we have a shot.

[UNO Gracias]

Furious 7 should sweep the Oscars. Just like 5 and 6 should have.

Always the bridesmaid.

This year they will take home all the awards, even the documentary category.

[4Real]

Well I checked it out

92% says no

The Sacto games are the dangerous ones. LAL has gone from passively trying to lose to outright, "we're playing our bottom five in OT" trying to lose. Minnesota is clueless and beat up to hell.

[MichaelMcNamara]

We can talk now! Played out pretty much as predicted.

BTW, Furious 7 was fantastic.

[jgman]

now the discussion is our next 4:

@ Portland
vs GS
@ Memphis
vs Phoenix

vs OKC's next 3:

vs Houston
vs San An
vs Sacramento

we need to be to be at least even with them going into the final 3, for me that's 2-2

I'm Loving It!!!
When scoring and hitting 3's this Pelicans team is unstoppable. So how can they win when they are not?

I hate to make predictions but lately mine have been 100%. I'll go Pelicans 3-4 and OKC 1-3. BTW. I AM a HOMER.

the optimist in me says 3/4 too, but that's asking 2 wins from: away at the 4 seed, away at the 2 seed, and home for the 1 seed in 5 days. Easier said than done

I think we go 2-2 and OKC goes 1-2.
