As of right now, we are the 12th seed in the West, tied in the win column with Portland for the 11th seed and only 0.5 games behind Sacramento for 10th seed. As you know, 10th seed qualifies you for the play-in tournament, so despite being 10 games under .500 and having started the year abominably (we've actually been an above .500 team for a little while now) we're somehow still very much in contention for a playoff spot. Wild.
Anyway, tonight we play Brooklyn who are 26-15. Yet, they're only 3-3 over their last 6 and only 3-5 over their last 8, including losses to Portland and the Clippers, so this isn't an impossible game. That said, it is on the road and we can never just expect a victory. It'll be interesting to see how the team shows up.
Let's find out.
