    If we can beat the Clips, we have a chance at the 5th seed.

    Don't want the 5th: I don't think any team wants to face Phoenix with Durant. Let some other team wear them down to give them more time for Paul or Durant to pick up the an injury

    Then we might have to sit out our guys against the Clippers. We'll be heavy favs the other 3 games. Phoenix is locked in at 4 so its doubtful they'll play their guys against us.

    Basically everything bounced in our favor today. With this many games being played, that's impressive.

    It’s 5 or the play in. 6th is difficult to attain because we need other teams to cooperate

    If Lakers win the next 2 games, we will be 5th at 42-38. (Own the tiebreaker vs GSW)

    GSW will be 6th or 7th at 42-38 or 41-39 depending on if they win or lose vs OKC on Tues. (Clips own their tiebreaker)

    Clips will be 6th or 7th at 41-39, depending on how GSW does.

    All 3 teams will have 2 games left to go. The juggling/possible tanking will be strange. We all want 6th, but between 5th and 7th, I think I'd prefer 7th. Higher risk but higher reward.

    If Lakers lose the next game vs Utah but win the following game vs the Clips, we will be 41-39.

    If GSW beats OKC, then they will be 42-38.

    Clips will be 41-39.

    This results in

    5th GSW 42-38
    6th Clippers 41-39
    7th Lakers 41-39

    If GSW and Lakers then both go 2-0 and Clips go 1-1, this would result in:

    5th GSW 44-38
    6th Lakers 43-39
    7th Clippers 42-40

    That might be our best path to 6th.

    Pelicans can still get into the playoffs directly if they somehow win out
