    I'd say, we need to win all remaining games...just to make sure we enter the play-in---or to have a chance at the play-offs

    hope the LAL, SUNS, KINGS keep losing and we tie up with them

    At least the Lakers are about to lose.

    Doesn’t look like Warriors losing another game.

    I’m telling you Silver, if you protect Steph, we will take your precious Lebron. They are barely holding up without free throws.

    We are on a roll and just about to get Cam back for the remaining 9 games. Your move Adam.

    I would actually not be surprised if we pass the Lakers, not the Worriers...

    It seems like a long shot but the rockets can overtake the Lakers, Phoenix or Sacramento.

    Rockets own the tiebreaker against these 3 teams.

    Phoenix remaining schedule all against 0.500 teams.

    Sacramento have 6 games against 0.500 teams

    Lakers only 4 games against 0.500 teams.

    Rockets have a tough schedule but have to end the season with 45-37 for them to make it to the playin in my estimation.

    Golden State is not the only viable option to overtake.

    If that ends up being true it's kinda nuts in a conference where 10 out of 15 teams get in. Gotta have a 55% winning percentage. In the East, Atlanta is getting in with a 46% winning percentage.

    East and West are so imbalanced. Expansion can't come soon enough. Get Seattle & Vegas their teams and move Minny to the East.

    The Warriors are keeping up with the Rockets.
    And the Rockets have their work cut out for them because they have the harder schedule before their head-to-head next week.

    Just curious how does expansion work? Do teams have a certain number of players they can protect from the expansion teams “drafting” them? As deep as we are it could really hurt.

    Man I had not paid much attention but the Morey harden bromance tour has the sixers doing all they can to back out of the playoffs out east. Just the Bulls hate competing even more than they do.

    That's what Embiid being injured half the season will do to a team. It didn't help that they got robbed against the Clippers the other night.

    I knew Wemby would let us down.
    .good thing Rox are playing with house money not making the play in just means better odds we keep our pick.
