Locke predicted last night that we'll get 50 wins and get the 7th seed. Thoughts? His explanation for it is that the Grizzlies have a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way and we have a brutal one. Also OKC holds the tie breaker with us.
We can gain even more ground tonight.
Clippers @ Bulls (back to back for LA)
Grizzlies @ Rockets (back to back for MEM)
If the Clippers lose we go up a full 2 games on them for the 4th seed. If the Grizzlies lose we go 2.5 games ahead of them (3 in the loss column). Rockets are a full 5 games ahead of us for the 3rd seed so I think we want them to win tonight.

Yeah better for Huston to keep the mutts off our heels than thinking we're going to catch them.

he's probably not too far off the mark unless we really elevate our level of consistency.
There's a fair chance we'll end up 7th with 49-50 wins and play the Warriors. The meltdowns here will be epic, but i'd love to see how we went with that matchup given KD really won't be right then.
Highly unlikely we can win a playoff series first time in wherever we finsih, although i think we'll be super competitive.

Homecourt against the Grizz or Thunder we win.
Not sure how anyone thinks we are going to fall below OKC in the standings. I just noticed they have a 12-19 road record.
Let's. Go. Mavs.
LOL ... Mavs are ON FIRE.
I really like Locke, but that was one of the silliest thing ever. If he framed it as "hey this could end with everyone really close and in fact there is one credible scenario with a multiple team tie where we win 50 and still get the 7 seed" it would have been fine, but he framed it as if this was his prediction. I'd say there is a much higher probability that the the 5 seed ends below 50 games than the 7 seed ends with 50+ games.
