This is it -- down to the final 3 games of this very entertaining end of the 2021-2022 season. No one would have ever guessed we would be this good the way we looked back in November.
But here we are, looking at a 52 win season with a chance to be the [HASH]1 seed if we win all 3 games (just 1.5 games behind MIA).
Crazy but our final 3 games are on the road against tough playoff teams -- CHI, MIL and MEM.

I think the best case scenario is that MIA finishes first and BKN finishes 9th or 10th, meaning the best seed they could wind up with for the playoffs would be [HASH]8. Then MIA and BKN fight it out in the first round.
Meanwhile we finish strong, beat MIL this week, and get the [HASH]2 seed and home court over them in the second round.

Going to be a fun playoffs. Lots of good match-ups. Still hoping for a BKN/PHIL series in the 2nd round for the frenzy that would cause. Hoping we get RWill back for MIL (if standings stay this way) as we'll need his rim protection and don't think we stand a good chance without him.

3 games to go and we are in a 3 way tie with MIL and PHI. Nail biter to end the season.

Just stay healthy. It'll be interesting to see how IME chooses to play, or not play, the rotation guys over these next few games - especially since finishing higher may not yield an easier playoff path.

I'd love to see the C's lock down the 2nd seed. getting home court in two rounds is huge.

It's looking more and more likely that BKN will wind up with the 7th seed and thus play the [HASH]2 seed in the first round. I think I'm more concerned about playing the Nets in the first round - without Rob - than I am losing home court to MIL in the second round.
I'm also concerned about finishing 4th and having to play in TOR with possibly two of our guys not eligible to enter Canada because of vaccination status.
I'm rooting for 3rd place. I don't know how you go about trying to finish third though.

3rd would be ideal since we'll most likely play CHI, who we match up very well against (as evidence by the smackdown we gave them tonight).
