great come back. D'Lo was amazeballs!! good to see KA ride the second unit. Hopefully this is a season defining game.

37 wins... i think we are in with this win. Magic would need to go 5-6 the rest of the way to get to 38 wins (we have the tiebreaker). wizards would need to go 8-3. Hornets would need to go 7-5.

another 1-2 wins would cement it for us, but i love our chances even if we lost out. (obviously i dont want us to lose out, but mathmaticlly i think we can and still get in)

Orlando scares me. They have a relatively light schedule. We need to get to 40 wins for me to feel safe.

I dont know about light schedule....

MEM - not good
PHI - (Playoff team, fighting for seeding)
@MIA (playoff team, fighting to stay in 8 seed)
@DET (Playoff team, fighting to stay in playoffs)
@IND (playoff team, fighting for seeding)
@Raps (Playoff team, fighting for 1 seed/home court)
NYK - trash tanking team
ATL - not good, but playing better of late
@BOS - playoff team playing for seeding, great home team
@CHA - fighting to get in the playoffs


To me that doesnt look like relatively light schedule at all... they have a 5 game stretch coming up vs east playoff teams with 4 of those being on the road.

also, if they DO end up rackign up wins, they probably take down the heat/hornets in the process.

I think as it stands we have like a 60/40 s hot of getting in without another win. 80/20 with 1 more win, 90/10 with 2 more wins, and 100% with 3 more wins

Prok, Where is Kswiss? granted he doesn't have a contract for next year but he will definately be in the league next year! lol

I'm more scared of Miami taking the 7th seed from us... I want to avoid the Bucks. Raps should be fun to watch

he's somewhere hiding with the clown on the General Board who made the "Josh Hart is better than D'Angelo Russell" thread that got closed after we kept bumping it to talk trash several times this season after D'Angelo would drop 30 points or more !!!

[-soul fist-]

And there’s the guy who said russell is not an NBA player.. well, he’s gone now. cya. *waves*

[Paradise]

Anybody who’s still coming here trying to troll knowing full well D’Lo is an all-star and front runner for MIP should be banned.

You’ve still got morons talking about Ingram is a better prospect. Any D’LO slander that becomes that bias at this point, is pure hatred or pure trolling.

[SpeedyG]

Let this be a reminder the next time we get posts along the lines of "Caris is our best player and anyone who doesnt think so is blind" after an 8 point on 4-12 shooting night for Caris.

Russell is a legit All-star at 23 years old who is getting better every day

Even Dudley has talked about Caris being our best player (until his injury) until Russell's recent explosions and growth.

Like I said in that thread, Caris picking up where he left off would have been a freaking boost for this team and he certainly looked it when he came back. Unfortunately, it proved tougher on his rhythm since then.

I have no problem with anyone who said Caris was our best player pre-injury... the comment in question came in caris second game back from injury, after DLo had a huge dec/jan and was playing like an all-star.

And in that return Caris looked like he was pre-injury.

But turns out it was adrenaline that pumped him up as he's looked off since.

Meanwhile Russell continues to improve.

I have no problem saying Russell is our best player now.

It's a combination of him elevating his game and Caris not being where he was. I still hope Caris gets back to that level (If not higher) next season
