all you can do is laugh at this point. team sends out the playoff emails and everything and immediately collapsed
The Bucks are the Pelicans of the East except they don't have injuries as an excuse.
Last week I was fairly confident we were making the playoffs. Now I don't know what's going to happen.
Worst time to go on a 3 game losing streak.
pels playoff odds down to 64%. denver up to 33%. clips 18%
Its getting a little tight around the collar.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
estimated denver point spreads remaining:
nuggets -4 vs. pacers
nuggets -5.5 vs. wolves
nuggets +4.5 @ clips
nuggets -2 vs blazers
nuggets +3.5 @ wolves
basically, they could easily win or lose any of those. 5 tough games.
pelicans' remaining spreads look more like this:
pelicans -11.5 vs. grizz
pelicans -7 @ suns
pelicans +7 @ warriors
pelicans +4.5 @ clips
pelicans -1 vs spurs
pels have the 2 highest probability games, a couple tossups, and the toughest game
just from a mathematical standpoint, it would be unlikely for denver to win more than we do over these last 5. next 2 games are legit must wins. then probably just gotta win 1 of the last 3.... but if we continue playing like we did today, AD will be watching the playoffs from his couch again
Jamal Murray may have just saved the Nuggets season with this athletic steal and drawn foul.

He went to the line three times and hit all of them to tie this game with 2 seconds left. He is 21. #Nuggets pic.twitter.com/nTRBLoZk92
nice job bucks
I’m very disappointed in the pelicans. What’s wrong with AD? He’s just not the same. Is it that ankle injury? He’s not playing aggressive enough.
We are in serious trouble. Minny, Denver and Jazz all have the tiebreaker. Spurs will probably have tiebreaker as well. If we win the next 2 I still won’t be relaxed. We really need to win 4 out of 5.

Playing with AD hurt changes everything. We could finish last 5 by going 1-4. PHX and Memphis have nothing to lose. SPURS are looking invincible. GSW is better than us and even with injuries they should beat us. CLIPPERS will be playing with urgency and desperation if they have a chance to get 8th seed.
We have to get Memphis, PHX and Clippers. If we do that and get lucky and beat spurs I will be shocked

I've been saying for awhile now that I have us at 46 wins with potentially being 45. I expected us to go 500 or sub 500 to finish out the season after that 10 game win streak.
I think 45 wins *might* get us in but it will be very close and it might not be enough. If we get 46 wins I think we get a spot. That would basically require Denver to go undefeated or maybe only lose 1 game to end the season and I don't think they do that.
42 had a good write up on how our magic number currently is 4. If we win 4 of our last 5 we are guaranteed a spot no matter what, so 47 wins.

If I am looking at it correctly...If we go 3-2 over the last 5...Nuggets have to go 4-1(they own tiebreaker)...Their schedule is tuff and I don't see them winning more then 3 games. Clippers would have to win out in this scenario...I see them losing one game. I agree...Our magic number is winning 3 games of the 5 which would be 46 wins on the year...We need help from other teams if we are at 45 wins. I would not be so worried if Milwaukee would not of screwed up that win last night against Nuggets.

Ok good. That's what I thought but I hadn't checked Denver's remaining games in a week or so.
47 wins we are guaranteed no matter what. 46 wins we aren't "guaranteed" but odds are really good in our favor.
45 wins is where it starts getting sketchy and we start needing some help from other teams.
thanks for nothing pacers
Don't forget when counting your magic numbers, the Nuggets play the Wolves twice. If Denver gets their magic number it will likely be by knocking them off both games. Utah plays Portland and GS.....those two teams won't be going all out but they are still tough.
In other words, there are WAY more variables in play that favor us. We just need to knock down our games. Let the chips fall.
And that whole silly argument about spreads is....just weird. Let the man post his spreads.
Or woman. However you identify.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
Pelicans playoff odds down to 63%. Nuggets up to 41%. If we somehow lose tomorrow, they pass us
