    If our record is better than minny and Denver and OKC I will be thrilled. If we can move ahead of them and get 6th seed and face Portland with injured Lillard I like our chances. I’d rather Portland than Houston. If we somehow get in and face GSW it will be intriguing because they aren’t near as good without curry. Look at the games they lost. Most of them were games curry didn’t play. So if we got GSW I wouldn’t be too pessimistic.

    I want grits to be on the playoff roster with a healthy Ian Clark.

    Of course the Warrriors get called out by Steve Kerr for an embarrassing performance against the Pacers tonight. Now the Pels have zero chance against the Warriors since we are next up on their schedule and they will be motivated to play well in that game. That makes the Suns and Clippers games must-wins now.

    Then again, it'll be pretty demoralizing if they lose after being called out.

    Kill the head and the body will die. Can we say that in this sport?
    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.

    I have a strong feeling the refs will help the Warriors get out of their slump on Saturday.

    Magic number is Pels wins/opponents losses added together . If the Magic Number is 4, it means 4 must be reached by any combo of our wins + opponents losses. If Magic Number is 4 & We win 2 & opponent loses 2- Magic Number has been reached.

    Try some arithmetic . 5 games left. Team A is 25-10 Team B 23-12 . Team A needs 29. Thus MN #4. Team A Wins 2 (27 wins)... Team B loses 2. (most wins is 26) Thus Team A has just clinched. The amount of wins can change by 1 or 2 in one night. It can never change directions. But can be expedited . Thus Team A W's + Team B L's = equals amount of differential needed to reach goal.

    Our magic number is 3 now btw. With a win against Phoenix it becomes 2. With a win we also move into 5th place.

    I know that. My point is that MN# changes are NOT only affected by our wins. It is also affected by opposing teams losses. The variables in this race are so enormous, it's mindboggling.

    I wasn't arguing with you. I was just updating what the number was for everyone before the game tonight.

    That's why I didn't quote you.

    Just the math, so many scenarios. Wish we had another cupcake on our schedule in these last 3 games.

    And the Clippers are eliminated. No more Clippers in the running.

    Is that good or bad for our next game? Will they throw in the towel or play pissed off and try to knock us out

    Who knows? I'm hoping they give up but we can't be certain I guess.

    In case anyone was still unaware of how trash the Eastern conference is.

    I wouldn't mind that. Honestly, shy of the Rockets, I don't really think there's any team we couldn't take on in the first round. So basically, we just have to avoid 8th.
