Saw somewhere it's likely that each team playing 8 games will just be them playing the next 8 games on their schedule, of the 22 teams returning. SO if you have a game against GS scheduled, you skip it and go to the next one. If that's the case, our next 8 would be:

Memphis
Houston
Dallas
Boston
Philly
Brooklyn
Utah
Memphis

Would love to somehow catch Memphis, but really, we just need to stay ahead of anyone else for 9th and we have a chance.

Memphis will have:

Portland
Utah
S.A.
OKC
Milwaukee
New Orleans
New Orleans
Boston
 
Which, as I type that out, I realize trhe difficulty in that format. Doesn't work.

Did Atlanta ever waive him?

He was traded to the TWolves at the deadline. I don’t think he ever reported to Minnesota though and the rumor was he was going to be bought out. I can’t find any confirmation that that happened though. I think he’s in Portland though. Not sure if he could join the team if a buyout happened.

Are there even worthwhile free agents available?

Man I don’t even know what day it is.

But if there are, Lakers will be ahead of the line to pick them up. When was the buyout deadline? Did it pass?

So the teams aren’t playing the same amount of games overall so it’s not about losses. It’s about wins. If we are 9th in wins, we’re in.
 
9 teams to get into the West, and we're tied for 9th. We just need to not F up.

Not every team necessarily has 8 more games against top 22 teams.
 
Oh for fucks sake, that actually hurts us because we had games vs the bottom 8 remaining teams. We would actually be two games short because the majority of the games we had left were against the crappy teams. ughhh

 
See THIS is what I was worried about.
 


So will we make up our games by playing the other teams that also need to make up games?
Lakers v. Orlando/Miami
Portland v. the other one
Lakers v. Portland

There, that does it. Do we want Orlando or Miami?

We should get to play Mem

LAL and MIA.

And we'd have to beat MEM both times in the play in. This is going to be an uphill battle and pretty unfair considering we already played our schedule of tough games and were just entering the easy portion

But on the other hand, if we deserve to be there, this is one way to prove it.

That's one way of looking at it. I'm not optimistic of our chances to essentially have to run the table to make the playoffs. At least... that's how I understand this scenario now.

Let's see what they come up with after it's ratified tmrw.
 
These are the games we won't play now that we had on our original schedule:

vs MIN
@ MIN
@ CHA
@ DET
vs CLE
@ GSW

That's 6 gimme games.
 
We're definitely being shortchanged - but given a shot which is better than some scenarios.
 
Remember that game in Utah that the refs stole from us?

God damn, that one is gonna come back and bite us in the ass now isn't it?
 
We got cooked by AD and Rondo, and now AD and Lebron? Nope thank you give me a lottery pick instead
 
I don't like how easy the schedule appears to be for both NO and Sacramento.
