Bulls are lowkey feisty and can still move up if they go on a winning streak

Don't think so but maybe Sixers if they keep sliding

The Pacers and the Heat both lost. A Magic win over the Knicks solidifies Orlando as the 4 seed. The Magic control its own destiny at hosting in round-1 of the playoffs.
So: Just win!

The Bucks have a really tough schedule, and we play them 2 out of the last 3 games. It'll be interesting if we can get their lead down to 1 or 2 games prior to that.

My my my how the cookie has crumbled.
We entered the season hoping for a play-in.
Then we started thinking playoffs.
Now we are thinking 4th seed.
What does it all come back to though? Just win please.

...Sunday, a very real opportunity to bury the Pacers a little bit deeper.
followed by 4 very winnable games...if they (continue to) put the pedal down and grind out the wins, they could really solidify things this week and next.

I'm kind of mad that we only have the 21st easiest schedule now according to Tankathon. We've been at the bottom for a while!

From a competitor standpoint, NY not having Randle, OG and possibly Brunson (questionable) cheapens the hype of this game for me. I dont want to beat up on injury battered teams; I want to beat fully healthy teams that way I know where we truly stand on totem pole. To get a win here doesnt tell us much..

I VERY much want to beat up on them, early and often...especially in the Mecca. Smash them, send a message early that our forwards have our way against mortals and our POA defenders are like cats with a ball of yarn
Hopefully, rest our guys too...once the game is in hand. Get Jett in there to bomb threes without conscience in 4th Qtr to just blow open a beating into a laugher.

I see it as an opportunity we must capitalize on.
Injuries happen to everyone. Glad our injury bug hit hard when it did, and pray we remain healthy throughout the remainder of the season + playoffs.

I look back at the Hawks loss in Mexico as one f the best losses in team history. That loss brought this team together. Yes there was the annual mid-season slump. But it was muted and the team never stopped having fun.
I love this roster. And it is only a sniper guard from contending.

Yeah I get both sentiments. The reality is simple. A win here gives us a 2.0 spread. How we get there just is a simple "is what it is" moment.
I didn't spend all those Grant Hill years and now Isaac years to say that injuries aren't part of the game. As truly tragic is it may be.

I’m honestly loving their rejuvenated backcourt of Ayo, Coby and Caruso. Even Vuc seems to be back in form. I’m really rooting for them to shock some teams - just not us.
