I don't think there is a chance in hell. Winning 60 means they get the first seed IMO, which i just don't see that happening

Nobody in the NBA is playing better than Houston. Clippers are playing great but not better.

No Omer/Hamilton early. Had to gel, Harden didn't defend, injuries etc.

This team is humming now and has been trending better. It's certainly possible, but perhaps not probable at this point. Smash Portland and make a run.. We'll see.

1993-94 team won 58 games. I think that's what we should shoot for.

I honestly think we will see the finals this season...and this off season we will pick up that last piece to win it.
With the remaining schedule it looks like we can get 60 wins exact! not counting the games vs OKC, LAC, and MIA.

They have to win every home game plus only lose their road games to Miami, OKC, and whoever else. It's possible, but I think they'll finish in the mid 50's.

I believe I was on record with 60-64 expecting 62 barring injuries.

I re-ran my calculations last week with the assumption that Bev and Asik only missed 20% of the times they did and was still dead-on.

As is, we probably end up around 58, but I haven't checked that against the schedule.
Morey 2020.

Doubtful. I would be happy if we end up 57-58 wins and HCA.

Do not want the top spot so along as Memphis is at the eighth spot.

Memphis will end up as the 7th seed, so I think we should avoid being the 2 seed. I suspect we'll end up as the #3-4 seed anyway, so I'm not too panicked.

the race is very tight
i can't remember the last time there is a race this tight from #1 down to #9
a bad break for OKC and now they are #2 (everyone thought they will be #1)
Portland was #2 and now down to #5
even with good run current #9 PHX can move up to #7
i think ABC/ESPN/TNT/NBATV should only show these 9 teams match up from now till playoffs

I say 57, n that should secure the top 3 spot.

For the first year with Dwight on the team, pretty damn impressive
