We'll probably make it, but wouldn't be a huge upset if we don't.

We'll get there.
We're not likely to cause any damage though.

We will barely miss the playoffs then draft a guy that won't be on the team after his rookie deal is up. Our starting 5 will be exactly the same next year, but with a rookie SF at the end of the bench.

Re: Will Detroit make the playoffs.
Hopefully we'll stumble to the seventh or eighth seed and miss Philadelphia in the first round. We'd have a chance of winning a game, maybe two, against Milwaukee due to injuries or Toronto because we're in their heads a bit.

I really think we're a good chance to take Toronto to 7 and even take the series. You've got Lowry under an injury cloud with his poor playoff history. Kawhi's probably already decided to leave for LA, so there's a question over his ultimate commitment to the cause. I think if Drummond is feeling good and can stay out of foul trouble he can abuse them inside. Then there's the whole Casey thing and the season sweep. I really want and hope for this series.
Milwaukee with an impaired Giannis and Brogdon out, I think we can pinch a game or two, but ultimately they'll beat us by system.
Philly are too deep and Embiid is a monster, can see them sweeping us.
It's gonna be hard to manipulate our seed because it's quite possible there'll only be one game between 6th and 9th.

Yeah Drummond is our difference maker and if he’s matched up against a old Gasol then I’ll take my chances over Embiid
