    Playoff Watch: Race for 8th

    Might as well have a thread.

    Pels are 4.5 back of 8th seed. We play Kings, Mavs, and Nuggets (x3). Must win games here. Might get lucky and catch GSW resting on that last game of the season. Maybe Gentry can call in a favor to Kerr lol

    Currently Nuggets are in 8th, but Blazers are hot as hell right now and will almost definitely overtake the Nuggets. Nuggets schedule is just as brutal as ours. Playing Houston tonight.

    If we can beat Dallas, they'll be up a game on us but they have a few toughies in the schedule (i.e. GSE coming up)

    Blazers have a really easy schedule. Gonna have to hope they fall flat a couple times, but they are playing really well right now.

    Wolves and Kings hanging around but if we take care of business, we should be fine.

    They would have to do worse than that - Pels ain't making it to 39 wins

    Pels did their job. Let's go Warriors (ew), Bucks, and Spurs!

    Warriors up 20, Bucks down 8 (game just started), and spurs up 2

    Steal one of the next three road games. Particularly @Denver. Then try to make up more ground over the 4 game home stand after.

    I think we are going to win all 3. We keep getting better. We're hot right now. We have to beat Denver. I think we will. Gentry is running the offense through Cousins which is perfect. Our guards are able to make great plays because the defense can't handle boogie. This is going to be the best Pelicans team we have ever seen.

    Man.... I'd love us to get in but I just can't see it happening. Even if this form continues we'll still fall short. It's out of our hands and we're depending on other teams messing up

    Next season..... that's the one...

    When you started this thread, the other one wasn't on the next page, but just a few (something like 5) threads below your's... should have been quite impossible to not notice that if you hade taken a look for something like that at all.

    But I guess some people always have to have "their" own threads, no matter what.

    Edit: ...and it's still not anywhere close to the next page. So much for that.

    Lol thanks for your input. I feel honored that you used one of your regularly schedule 3 posts a year to point this out to me. I must be so special!

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    Lets break it down - we are now trailing Nuggets by 3.5

    Tomorrow Nuggets lose to Cavs - trailing by 3

    Keep pace - win all three against Nuggets - get tie breaker and take the spot

    As long as you don't call losing to the cavs "messing up" - then we control our destiny with Denver

    Portland is really the team that has to mess up

    Trailing right now by 2.5 - if we pick up a game and a half then win the last game of the season we take the spot in a tie situation. That would be exciting BB

    Kinda reminds me of the situation chasing OKC a couple years ago - at 11 games out i thought we were done - then we magically went 8-3 and took the spot in the tie breaker.

    It is not impossible.
