5th Seed Watch (was 6th Seed Watch)

Retained the 6th seed with that Clippers loss. Gotta get the win against the Heat though, and they too are fighting for that play in spot. How will Jimmy play against his former team and in that building?

good thing the heat broke their 10 games losing streak vs CHA, at least this has already happened so they can go back to lose again

They really need to rest Steph for the Heat game. Having him on the bench will boost team morale so I’m glad he joined them in Miami.

Some x posts of Curry getting some shots up today after practice.

If Curry is going to play, maybe he can forgo his half court shots during the pregame and practices. His body, and particularly his back, might appreciate it.

No BBL like in 2021 seems like a good sign

Curry traveling is itself a great sign, even if he doesn't play. If the injury was serious, he wouldn't be traveling at all. Personally I would rest him for Miami regardless because I think he needs it, that gives him pretty much a full week off since they don't play again until Friday. The only team Miami has beat in their last 11 games are the horrendous Hornets, if you can't beat that team without Steph, you probably can't make a serious playoff run.

Lets go Pacers, beat those Wolves!

Wolves lose. Lakers down 12 with a minute+ left.

Best possible results from tonight's slate so far. Might be a bit much to ask Chicago to beat Denver, though.

Those losses to the Nuggets and the Hawks are the difference between treading water above 7th place and the play-in route, and being tied for 4th place with the Lakers and the Grizzlies, 1/2 game behind the Nuggets in 3rd place.

Sad. In fact two wins from any of the half dozen dumb losses…

absolutely right. no excuses for not beating such opponents.
but if they lose against this MIA team and you point it out, you're silly or a kerr/specific player hater.... :crazy:

We need to win next 3 desperately and will close March on the highest note.

ATL @ HOU
LAC @ NY
LAL @ IND
MIL @ DEN
MEM @ OKC
LAL @ CHI
PHO @ MIN
LAL @ MEM
LAC @ CLE
DET @ MIN
HOU @ PHO
LAC @ ORL
BOS @ MEM
HOU @ LAL

We could increase distance from Clippers and catch MEM with LAL.
