We absolutely need to go 3-0 the next 3 games vs the Kings, Hawks, and Pacers.
We lose to Sac we will be 4 games out of 9th and could be 5.5 out of 8th. This would be the first actual must win game. Lose and it's essentially over.
We should be okay because there’s a log jam at seeds 6-8.

We need to go 3-0 and it’s very realistic. We need KAT though

6-8? We lose our next and we are done. How do we make up 5 games on 2 different teams while holding off the Lakers as well? Short of winning 18 of these 23 we will have to win every head to head with those around us and getting help. Lot to ask with no Roco.

nice wins against clippers, houston and knicks framed around bad losses to Magic, Grizzlies and Bucks makes play-offs a distant dream (Butler's fault for sure!!!). Those bad losses combined with us getting beat twice in a row by Jazz (splitting would have been fine...) is probably the reason R. Saunders shouldn't be HC next year.

Gonna need you to explain how the Bucks loss is bad but first can you please attempt to explain how the Knicks win was good?

all wins are good. the bucks loss wasn't horrible (back-to-back road game) but 3 losses (griz, magic, pelicans) in a row are bad.

It was bad losing those games but we were on our 5th point guard. Offense was very stagnent

All wins are wins. If you are claiming some losses are bad, then winning against a NY team on which I guarantee no one could name 6 guys off the top of their head it's not good?

It was a win. Wait........if they weren't trying to win also is it still a win? NBA is so confusing.

I think 7 and 8 will still be up for grabs. Utah will clinch the 6th spot.

Lebron has become embarrassing. This is the team you chose. Lead them. And this isn’t anti Lebron nonsense. I love Lebron, but his whining is ridiculous.

LeBron shouldn't have told everyone he engaged "beast mode" post all star break to grab that spot.

Now you're losing to Memphis

We need to go at least 13 - 9. It’s possible but we have to beat all the .500 and worse teams, pretty much. Would need help too.

Got must win number 1 in impressive fashion. But come on. 3-0 on the road? Do we have 3 road wins all season? 2-1 would be freaking huge.
