Re: Inaugural In Season Tournament 2023-24
You can bank on Boston winning by more than 23 so we NEED Toronto to win their game, otherwise, we're out.

Re: Inaugural In Season Tournament 2023-24
Ok so if we need to make it on a wildcard, we need to knicks to lose or win by no more than 3 pts. Currently they are +6 per game in 3 games (aka +18). If they win by 3, they would be +21 over the 4 games= +5.25 per game. They are below us. We would likely get 2nd wildcard.

Playing on the last day is a clear advantage. Bad teams know they’re out, good teams know exactly what they need to score.

We likely get second wildcard as long as knicks dont win by 3 or more.

Re: Inaugural In Season Tournament 2023-24
Man, the way the schedule is set up is completely screwing us; where's our game where we know exactly what score we (might) need versus an opponent with no skin in the game?

I mean, they already explained it and it made sense. First night of a B2B and they're not going to go all out to just chase point differential stuff for hypotheticals. While it would be nice to make it harder for certain scenarios tonight, they'd regret it even more if someone got hurt or we lost the Nuggets game due to more tired legs.

Knicks wont win by 3 or more? Thats like BKN losing to the Raps or Celts dont win by 23.
Everything is going down. When it rains it pours. Lioe every scenario for us to get eliminated is going int hat direction. Lol

there is no 2nd wild card, its one per conference.
for now we are out, but plenty of things can change in 2 minutes time.
