Playoff Odds

The Hawks look pretty good. What do you guys think? Were the play off hopes misguided? Will the forces behind the tank overcome? Stay tuned for the conclusion of the cavs season..

lol of course the Knicks lost

At this point, even if we win out, if either the Hawks or Knicks win more than two games we are eliminated.

Yeah, tonight was the night. Win the game only 1 game out with all the momentum. For how hard it was to lose, I hope it shows the young players how important it is to play everygame hard.

With the Knicks losing, I suppose it's still possible to make it. The Hawks are still likely to fall lower than the Knicks, and the Knicks could have landed the fatal blow tonight, but didn't connect. A 5-game win streak will be the only thing that MIGHT get us in, but, even then, we will have to have some luck with the Knicks and Hawks sucking it up the rest of the way. I'd say that there's about a 5-10% chance we make it in now.

For all of our next five games are at home, and the road game is against Milwaukee. For what it's worth

I have such a mixed feeling of emotions after this game. Going into in I was 100% on board with the playoffs, and was excited about the possibility. I am not mad at the loss, just the way we lost, I exspexted so much from a team who had the playoffs on the line. If it is a learning process I hope the team took this game hard.

Still a small sliver of hope. But god damn I just don't believe in this team like I did when Dion was running the show because it seems like we're back to square one.

Don't sleep on Charlotte tomorrow...we're on a back-to-back and they're trying hard to grab the 6th seed and avoid Miami/Indy in the first round. That's the game I'm most nervous about.

They played last night as well, so the back-to-back "cancels out."

They just beat Orlando at home by quite a bit less than we beat them on the road, and there's no way we play this bad two nights in a row; I'd consider us slight favorites.

In fact, we'd actually be considered very slight favorites on a neutral court given how we've played overall lately (bookies have us around -3.5)

Only one thing can get us into the playoffs now - Pl@yoffs God has to change his name to Tank God and keep it there no matter what until April 17th. His waffling this year has completely jinxed our season.

Well... let's see how this all plays out.

At the end of the season we can assess where we ended up and if the playoff push was worth it or not.

I think I've been pretty open about what I've thought throughout the year from the start to the finish. So have a few others. We can talk about it once the Knicks/Hawks win 2 more games.

Until that time, I hope the Cavs win every game and the Knicks and Hawks lose every game. We are all in the same boat now.

Quick Update.



If the Cavs go 6-0, NY would need to go 3-3 or worse, Atl would need to go 4-4 or worse
If the Cavs go 5-1, NY would need to go 2-4 or worse, Atl would need to go 3-5 or worse
If the Cavs go 4-2, NY would need to go 1-5 or worse, Atl would need to go 2-6 or worse
If the Cavs go 3-3, NY would need to go 0-6 or worse, Atl would need to go 1-7 or worse

Quick update, going to be hard.


If the Cavs go 5-0, NY would need to go 2-3 or worse, Atl would need to go 2-5 or worse
If the Cavs go 4-1, NY would need to go 1-4 or worse, Atl would need to go 1-6 or worse
If the Cavs go 3-2, NY would need to go 0-5 or worse, Atl would need to go 0-7 or worse

it takes 3 wins by one of them to eliminate us if we win out

the only thing worse than that is to have the team fold.
