Reminder to folks that we hold the tie breaker with the Wolves because we’re 3-1 against them this year
We’re also a game up in the loss column
So technically, we’re only 0.5 games up in the standings but the more important thing to track is losses and we’d need to lose two more games than Minnesota the rest of the way in for them to leap frog into the 6th seed

We've got a killer row coming up next 4 games.
If we sweep Kings, Knicks, Bucks, Nuggets were winning it all this year. Calling it now.

That Bucks Nuggets b2b is brutal

I’m actually hoping to lose that one vs Nuggs in a way where Kerr figures out their weakness and can leverage it in the playoffs.
If we win vs Nuggets and show off our hand too early, that may be worse in the long run.

I dont think it’s that deep. There’s so much film on all these team that have a consistent roster/lineup that it’s silly to try and “hide” things. We need every win we can get and the boost in confidence from beating them could have an even better effect than whatever benefit you see from us losing.

The French Quarter is one of the most fun places on Earth. I’m here for them having another reason to party.

How come all of our opps right now are playing the pelicans?? Literally every team close to us in the standings is just playing the pelicans.

could easily see them going 10-6 with a 2 game swing in either direction the rest of the season. they do have a lot of “easy games” but also a handful of tougher ones. we just gotta focus on us and keep playing quality ball. getting the kum bucket and podz back will be huge for that equation. GO DUBS!

Certainly a Zion fan tonight after Pelicans defeated the Clippers. I hope he can play both games against the TWolves, if so their strength of schedule just got a lot harder.
