Would be really great if Atlanta beats Cleveland.

Looking at the teams ahead of us, its still hard for me to figure out who misses. I thought it was going to be Miami but it feels like Wade coming back might reenergize that franchise a bit. I'm leaning towards Indiana now but still tough to say which team it will be that misses out.

This is not just our day. We lost and the Heat, Pacers and Sixers won their game. :(

The Clippers play Philly tomorrow both on B2Bs.

That's a game I'd love to check out.

Will be really hard to catch a playoff spot. 42 wins won't be enough.

Last night hurt us. We have 3 very winnable games left before the break. Hopefully this was the game to check their poise. How we respond will tell us what kind of team we have.

Gotta get that 4th or 5th seed. 1st 2nd and 3rd are gonna be what they're gonna be. I do not want to play any of them in the 1st round. Give me the Raptors though 2nd round ;)

And so the Sixers and Bucks are about to win again. We just can't get a break.

Both teams had horrible games. If they continue to play like that, they won't win a lot of games.

Don't be delusional. Even to get 6th seed we need to win 18 games in the last 28 and our schedule looks very 50%ish.

Well then sucks to be us cause we're gonna lose in the first round. Our best chance though would be against the Raps

I want Boston in the 1st round. I think our frontcourt would give them a hell of a time

Wow Washington is really screwed. They lost Satoransky and Frazier to injuries and Wall is still out for a few weeks. They might miss the playoffs, especially if their alternative is to sign Derrick Rose.

Until Brad Stevens makes adjustments and SVG waits till the offseason to reevaluate.

So what now? 2 straight loses and we're below 50%. I have to say we can no longer overtake the Sixers. So we'll just hope that either one of Indiana and Miami will stumble.

Joel Embiid is starting to get exhausted, Sixers chances will stand or fall with his availability. Although the Sixers have a very easy schedule for the remainder of the season it's filled with back-to-backs and rarely have more than one day off.
