The fight for the 6th seed

Covi_Marsh · Post #21 » by **Covi_Marsh** » Mon Apr 8, 2024 3:07 am

Orlando Magic last 4 games are tough

@Houston
@Milwaukee (B2B
@Philadelphia
Vs Milwaukee

If they go 1-3 and we win out, we would win tiebreaker? Going from 3 seed to the play in would be crazy lol

Houston is out of the playoffs, i think that's a win.

And even if the Magic lose the next 4, we still would need the Pacers to lost 2 or the Heat to lost another one while we win the next 3.

The Pacers have to lost 2 of the next 3. I think we're bound for the play in.

The key would be to get 7th instead of 8th.

All the teams between 2 and 5 are on free fall, inexperienced or too injured to be a serious threat

If Magic lose all 4 they would be the 7th or 8th seed. Indiana would move up to 5th seed. 6th would be open for us or Heat. Idk how that tie breaker works

The Heat has the tiebreaker over us, which is why i'm saying they have to lose another game for us to pass them.

In the projection they end 6th, we 7th and the Magic 8th

Yeah, it would be so like the Sixers to be the clear 2nd best team in the conference and still lose the play in tournament some how.

I think we can beat Cleveland, I know we can beat Orlando. I also think that just because of Doc Rivers...We can beat the Bucks.

Quite frankly, right now I don't care about seeding. We grind over this schiit every season, as if we can magically work out the playoff sequence before it happens. No reason we can't win out, and wherever that leaves us, so be it. No one we can't beat right now if we stay healthy, and at some point we're going to have to go through Boston.

People talking about losing in the play in being so Philly, however... Advancing past the second round in a year as up and down and injury plagued as this one would also be so Philadelphia of us to do.

I stopped caring after we lost to the Hawks. That was as good a path to the ECF as we’ll ever get & we know what happened.

At this point, I’m kind of rooting for a difficult path that we somehow make it through. Embiid kind of needs a Dirk style title run to really redeem himself.

Boston first round with healthy Joel! Melton could help vs them though

Those two last second losses to Cleveland and clippers really gonna to sting. Could have should have been in the fight for 3 seed easy or 2 seed.

That would have been so funny if embiid has missed 2 months and we lost all those games and would have ended up in the same seeding slot.

I do truly think if embiid had played 65 games. Sixers would have won 54-56 games. We were 29-13 before he started missing consecutive games.

Am I crazy in thinking they have a good chance going in as the 7th seed against any team in the East besides the Celtics?

Giannis went down with a calf strain. Don’t know the severity as it pertains to the post season. But can prolly guarantee he sits the rest of the regular season. Not good for us needing Orlando to drop one of the two vs them if Houston can hold on to win tonight.

Hawks couldn’t beat out Heat but did for 2OT while Dallas got to rest some at the end of the 4th. Looks good for the Miami Dallas matchup tomorrow.

Rockets were able to beat Orlando tho. Just need Milwaukee to win 1 of 2 and we have to win out of course.
