All I know is, my magic number is 7. We win 7 from here on out, and we're in. That's the only countdown I need. Hopefully, it will be down to 6 tonight.
The current magic number is 13 with Phoenix. If the Rockets and Suns were to win out (13 games), the Rockets wouldn't clinch the spot until the last game. This is subject to change in the event the Lakers or Jazz fall apart.
We may have to wait for the last game in order to find out who is in and who is out. Just another month.
Is the magic number down to 11 now? Suns loss, and Rockets win earns takes off two points on the magic number correct?
