Thought it would be a fun poll question.

I voted 14-5, but I think 13 -6 might do it as well.

I just have a hard time believing that a team with 50 wins can miss the playoffs.

The important factor, IMO, is who those wins are against. We play GS twice, PHO twice, and Dallas, Houston, and Utah all once a piece. Got to win against the teams we are trying to catch.

hah Nuggets 19 in a row? Impossible with a coach and players who play their heart out 1 game, and pretend like its a practice the next game. However, I still think it's possible to get on a winning streak this week, because we're playing **** teams like Memphis, Seattle, Raps (without Bosh), etc. If we can pull out a win against the Pistons, that will be a confidence booster and I can see us winning 6-7 in a row right there. 14-5.

3 wins 2 losses
3 wins 2 losses
3 wins 2 losses
3 wins 1 loss

That is our usual pace on wins and losses 14-5 is only 2 wins off of the teams normal pace, but I am not sure it will be enough to get us in. If we get in, who gets pushed out?

I think it is 51, and that might be a tie for the playoff spot with San Antonio. Fits with Murphy's Law

So, 15-4

I'm also still wondering if Portland can climb out of it.

One of the current 8 are going to drop out.

i voted 15-4, i think 51 wins is what it'll take to make the playoffs.

Just for the record, 15-4 in our final 19 games would put us at 52 wins.

I think more losses for the suns mavs or warriors could do it. praying for the suns to stumble

Or Utah looking at the standings today you guys are only 3 games back of Utah.
Id rather have Denver then Utah in the playoffs

I vote 15-4 the other day. Now the only need to go 12-4 the rest of the way. I say we go 14-2 the rest of the way with 1 loss coming to Detroit.

I personally see you guys winning 11 more games on the season, and finishing with 51 wins.

Your schedule goes as follows.

At Detroit: Loss
At Philly: Win
At New Jersey: Win
At Toronto: Win
At Memphis: Win
Vs. Dallas: Loss
Vs. Golden State: Win
At Phoenix: Loss
Vs. Phoenix: Win
Vs. Sacramento Win
At Seattle: Win
At LAC: Win
At Golden State: Loss
At Utah: Loss
Vs. Houston: Win
Vs. Memphis: Win

51-31 is a very good season, unfortunately I do see the Warriors winning 11 games to finish the season also and finishing 52-30 and barely edging out.

Obviously it goes with out saying that those two games you play against them are huge. They also play a very tough home and home against the Lakers in which I see them winning one of those games, but if they lose those you could definitely grab the 8 spot.

This is going to be a very fun part of the season to watch you guys.

Unfortunately for you I think the Jazz will most likely wrap up the Division in the next 8 games considering the Jazz play 7 of them at home and the one they play on the road is against Minnesota, at the end of that streak they should probably have already won 52 or 53 games which is probably enough for the Division.

But good luck, I would like to see you guys sneak in and take the 7th or 8th spot and bounce either the Spurs or the Mavs out.
