9th seed feels inevitable

I think 10th seed is very possible, but the 9th seems unlikely. Charlotte will lose a lot with Ball and Hayward out, but they have a LONG way to fall to get below us. They are currently 5 games ahead.

I don’t know, I’m loving it.

I guess I’m not enough of a realist and too much of a fan.

Westbrook is finally healthy and fully explosive and, aside from chucking, a joy to watch. Beal has become a player I never imagined he could be. Deni is tantalizing. Rui too. And Gafford — it’s strange to say, but it looks like he’s a difference maker on this team. He’s got great bounce, covers ground, and seems to fit in beautifully. And there’s a bench, a versatile bench: Lopez, who’s money with that hook and plays superb positional D, Neto so steady and heady, Bertans the marksman, Mathews here and there. (Imagine having had that bench when the Wall-led team took on Boston in the second round in ‘16.)

With another coach, and Ujiri pulling the strings, and another high draft pick, I like it.

Yeah, but I like it a lot more with a top 4 pick.

Our schedule isn't perfect but we actually have a winnable schedule if we play correctly. We should be in

I'd prefer the top 4 pick too...but I damn sure prefer winning to losing. So I don't have a problem with the Sacramento victory or any other W.

Charlotte's in the 8th position, 6 ahead of us. The Pacers are at #9 & 5 games ahead of us.

To get in the plow-under tournament, we would need to pass both Toronto & the Bulls.

We are tied with Toronto, but we have gone 5-5 in the last 10 to their 4-6. One game behind the Bulls, who are 3-7 in their last 10.

I'd say the 10th seed is looking probable....
