......It's the playoff bandwagon starting up, and I will be the first to jump on. How many games are we back......3 or 4? Let's do this!!

LOL!
Only the Bobcats could have their fans talking about Beasley one day and then less than a week later talking about playoffs!!
I hate/love this team!!

If we keep finding ways to tie/break franchise records, sure.

If we win 10 in a row, I'll consider the playoffs a possibility. Otherwise, let's not even bother.

The rest of the East is so terrible we probably won't be mathematically eliminated for a long time, win or lose. If we get a couple nice win streaks we'll be just good enough to be 10th and draft around that same spot.
I'm terribly conflicted right now. On one hand I don't want us to start tanking just because we've hurt our draft position in the past by playing hard. But on the other hand when all the other almost-competent teams (MIA, LAC, MIL, NYK) start intentionally losing one of them will more then likely be rewarded for it while we gain nothing but a moral victory.
It's tough, makes me question if at some point you have to let yourself lose some in order to win some.

If we don't get a top 2 pick then I wouldn't care if we get a 10th or 11th pick instead of 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. I don't see much difference there. We can take a Bayless, Augustine, Love, or Jordan and that spot.

22-39 and this team has a legit shot at the playoffs...god the east needs help. I'd rather see this team in the lottery, because it still needs that much help.
3 games out of 8th, with currently the 7th best shot at the no.1 pick in the lottery. COMPLETELY PHUCKED UP!!!

Well I can tell you this, we're gonna bottom out because we flat out SUCK. Please pass us in the standings, I want a higher pick I'm rooting for you guys, ATL, CHI and IND to all do better than us.
But what I can tell you is that it's a very good possibility for you guys, if you look at the Nets schedule you can easily write them off

You obviously haven't looked at our crazy schedule of back to backs, west coast swings and playing away from home over the next two months!!
But you are right and wont get any argument from me:
The Nets DO suck.

Whatever, they pulled off an even bigger heist than Miami in getting so much for Kidd. Brilliant move, I look forward to the LeBron era in Brooklyn.

I knew we were playing tomorrow but I didn't remember who until checking ESPN. Atlanta is a very winnable game, plus they're right at the edge of the playoff hunt and have been in a free fall for awhile now. If we beat them our slim chances of sneaking into the mix for the 8th seed will become a little more realistic.

20 remaining games. to make into the playoffs i figure we need to win 35-36 games, meaning we need to go 12-8 or 13-7 the rest of the season.
games in red = game we could and must win to stay alive

Mar 12 at Dallas 8:30 pm
Mar 14 at Houston 8:30 pm

even it we take care of the 10 games in red, we still must win 2 or 3 games. its not impossible but close. our best bets are Toronto at home, Toronto away and Portland away.

Task one accomplished! 12 to go!
As Gerald said: MEGAPUSH FOR THE PLAYOFFS!
This Wizards match was crucial!
I think beating the Celtics and the Cavs at the end of the season could be a possibility. Probably both team will be resting for the playoffs, and we can beat their bench.

Anything is possible when Jason and Hammer are shooting well.
