It's been a rough few days for the Cs. Bradley looks out of sorts since his stomach bug, Jae has a tender elbow. We need 2 more wins to guarantee 2nd, the Nets and Charlotte should see it done. More importantly I want to get to the playoffs healthy! This team is fragile at the top, we need to be healthy to make noise in the playoffs. I don't mind who we play, we can beat them all, but let's be healthy this time!

Just get HCA for the first 2 rounds and develop from there..whoever we face in those 2 rounds will be a war anyway because we are a flawd rebounding team that can be exploited hence winning round 1 is not a given.

Cant recall a 2 seed being eliminated by a 7th seed but this yr could be interesting on both conferences.

Yep, got to win 2 of 3 to clinch.  Don't want to count on tiebreakers.  Hopefully they can win at Charlotte on Saturday and then lock up the #2, and the top lotto odds by beating Brooklyn at home on Monday.  Then, rest on Weds vs. the Bucks.

I wouldn't count those chickens too soon. Especially since they're playing worse than the Nets right now.

TP Sundance. Appropriately measured forward-looking, positive attitude topic.
After the playoffs start we all forget about the good wins and bad losses during the 82 game season (seeding tournament). We will remember our season record, 50+ wins and generally be satisfied.
Only things that will matter will be, who we play against and are we healthy. Series are often won by the more "stubborn", better said, resilient teams. I actually don't have my expectations too high, they are realistic. I would be OK with us winning any single series. 50+ wins, series won, that is an improvement.

Every team has injuries.  What are our injury numbers compared to others?  I'm
Thinking probably not too far off from other teams.

Most teams struggle when their starters are out. Its late, but tomorrow im searching for the article that listed teams record when starters are healthy vs not, and we had one of the fewest number of games played with a complete starting five.
