If we want to be positive, we can look at those rankings backwards. We're currently the 9th worst team in the league. We just have to drop a few more, hope the teams "ahead" of us win a few, and then Wall/Turner here we come!

Why have we played so many more games than everyone else? We've played 26 and all the other teams have played between 21-23 games.

The schedule makers like to see us panac early.

Plus, I think about half of those games have been back to backs. With another back to back this week. It's ridiculous this year.

Add the "Tragic Number" please? It'll give an idea if we're closer to the playoffs or closer to being eliminated.

when the magic number is close to the number of combination we are close to elimination..

Is it just me, or is it that hard to believe that there is more than 3 teams worse than us? and that there is an ACTUAL chance of us making the playoffs?

fixed an error in formula for the magic number calculation.. should be correct now.

I look at the standings and the upcoming sched and think the Raptors will win around 45 games or so some unintelligent people will consider the season a success and they will then be taken out again in the first round.

Mediocrity for the win.
