This would be a big win... we want to beat Detroit and take that 6 seed from them, but in the grand scheme this game isnt as important as people are making it out to be.... Even with a win, detroit is like 75-90% likely to be the 6 seed, their schedule is just too much easier then ours the rest of the way.

A win would be nice more so because it would mean we could basically drop 12 straight games and still make the playoffs (i dont think we will lose 12 straight):

Mon, Mar 11 vs Detroit Win 36 33
Wed, Mar 13 at Oklahoma City Loss 36 34
Sat, Mar 16 at Utah Loss 36 35
Sun, Mar 17 at LA Clippers Loss 36 36
Tue, Mar 19 at Sacramento Loss 36 37
Fri, Mar 22 at LA Lakers Loss 36 38
Mon, Mar 25 at Portland Loss 36 39
Thu, Mar 28 at Philadelphia Loss 36 40
Sat, Mar 30 vs Boston Loss 36 41
Mon, Apr 1 vs Milwaukee Loss 36 42
Wed, Apr 3 vs Toronto Loss 36 43
Sat, Apr 6 at Milwaukee Loss 36 44
Sun, Apr 7 at Indiana Loss 36 45
Wed, Apr 10 vs Miami Win 37 45

37 wins i think we are 60/40 to make the playoffs.... so if we beat detroit and miami and lose every game in between we would still get in....

38 wins i think is like 70/30 we get in. and 39+ i think is 99% we get in.

orlando/miami losing last night was great for us

EDIT: also as tough as that schedule looks on paper, we could have 4-5 gift wins if those teams are set in their spots and cant move up or down and rest their guys.

damn that stretch is BRUTAL

this could get ugly over the next month. I hope these guys bring their lunch box to every one of these games.

Of all these tough games this is the 2nd most winnable. Especially at home we should take care of business and beat these guys.

This should be a fun one, hope I can at least catch the 2nd half. Dang me very well just might lose all those games sheesh... we need to squeeze out at least 3-4 of those. Clippers, Sac and Lakers we could beat IMO. I think we take one of those Bucks games because I can see them resting guys if they have a large enough lead over the other teams, same with the Raps and Pacers, and Miami we shoudl definitely win. We have to get at least 4-5 of those. Hoping we keep the 6th seed.

We haven't played well AT ALL in these 'big' games recently. These teams have been bullying us. Keeping expectations low for this one. They've been shooting the lights out and Drummond kills Allen. JA really needs to make him work for it. These effortless 25 and 20 games are killer. Rodi vs Blake should be interesting if Rodi can moderately stay out of foul trouble.

Think I'm going to have to throw a wager on this one.

hope guys esp dlo shoots the ball well in these remaining games. you wanna earn that big contract, time to respond. we got some tough games coming up. gotta go against the odds v.s teams u normally have a pedestrian game against. okc, bucks, heat, jazz just to name a few.

We are playing with so much energy and grit. If this is how we are gonna play in the playoffs, I'm so hyped!

Glad to see there's a legit playoff type atmosphere even if the arena isn't 100% full. The guys have to get used to this kind of pressure. Definitely not treating it like a regular game.

Rodi has been ridiculously good on both ends. Looks like he's still getting subbed out though lol.

Crabbe is locked in.
