Atlanta vs. Orlando...

[Diesel]

I was just thinking about the opportunity for us to get 1st in our division. It depends on Orlando...

Here's the teams that Orlando have lost to since January:

Chicago

Washington (2)

Indy

Cleveland

Toronto

Portland

Dallas

Denver

Lakers

Memphis

New Orleans

Here are the games They have left:

Wed 03 vs Golden State

Fri 05 @ New Jersey

Sun 07 vs LA Lakers

Tue 09 vs LA Clippers

Thu 11 vs Chicago

Sat 13 @ Washington

Sun 14 vs Charlotte

Wed 17 vs San Antonio

Thu 18 @ Miami

Mon 22 @ Philadelphia

Wed 24 @ Atlanta

Fri 26 vs Minnesota

Sun 28 vs Denver

Thu 01 @ Dallas

Fri 02 @ San Antonio

Sun 04 vs Memphis

Wed 07 vs Washington

Fri 09 vs New York

Sun 11 @ Cleveland

Mon 12 @ Indiana

Wed 14 vs Philadelphia

So in my opinion.... Orlando has 8 more losses coming.

Therefore for us to win the race to 1st place in the division... We can only lose 5 GAMES...

18-5 will be a tall task to win the SE division. I don't see that happening. Orlando needs to get in a late season funk for us to pull off winning the division.

Either way, we'll get second or third, end up playing Orlando in the second round, and get swept.

I disagree. If we get second, we will at least win one game in the ATL you would think.

You guys are amazing.

That Orlando team is not that special. So they have beaten us three times so far. We will win the next one and we have the horses to beat them in a series. First off will Carter make the party? Secondly, we're starting to catch our momentum. Come playoff time, if we have the homecourt on Orlando... Mark this down...

We're going to the ECF!!!

I dont care what Orlando does. From here on out, we need to win the games we are supposed to POINT BLANK. After Looking at the remaining schedule, I did a quick jot of games we should win based on record alone and came up with 18:

11 games vs non playoff teams

2 games vs Toronto

2 games vs Milwaukee

1 game vs Miami

2 games vs. Charlotte

the only teams left we face with a better or close record are CLE twice (1 HOME 1 AWAY) and LAL, SA, and ORL all in Atlanta. We are due to win 1 game against each of those squads this season. The remaining schedule is favorable and there is no reason we cant go on a HUGE run if our team plays the way we can.

[BusBoyIsBack]

I just can't picture us winning 3 more games than Orlando the rest of the way. And obviously if there is any chance of that happening we need to beat them head to head.
