Correct. This is just in terms of the pursuit of 40 wins. |

| It'll be a miracle if they make 8th seed, but don't see it happening. |

| Pelicans play 3 straight games from Mar 20-22, anyone know why the schedule set them up like that? |

Their game against the Pacers was postponed for some weather reason if I remember correctly.
Works out perfectly for us though, we get them on the third night. We better run those dudes out the damn building |

Correct- not only because it's their third game in 3 nights, but it's their 5th in 6 nights, and our Lakers have 2 nights off before the game.
LET'S GO LAKERS!!! |

Thanks.
It would be epic if SA and Pelicans fall apart and we somehow win all our games, like others have said just being in that discussion/scenario is a great step for the Lakers team. |

My post on March 3, 2018, when we were 27-34 (our Ws v. Ls since in parenthesis). We have since gone 4-3, making us 31-37. While I think we will win tonight, I'll switch that to a "maybe" because of our injuries. That means I have us at 4 more definite wins, 1 more definite loss, and 9 "maybes." If I am right about the wins/losses and lets say we go 5-4 with the maybes, we end with a 40-42 record. It's pretty likely at this point that we end up with somewhere between 38-41 wins. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

I think we can win our next three, making us 30-34. After that, we're have 18 games left (including 5 wins, 3 losses and 10 maybes). I think 36 wins is probably the most likely, but if we can go 11-10 the rest of the way, we'll be at 38 wins. Seems more and more of a possibility. Playoffs, however? No. Not only would we have to go something like 15-6 the rest of the way, but the other teams would suddenly have to start playing under .500 ball too, which is very unlikely to happen. |

I would love 41. .500 with this young of a team, injuries and #capspace adversity...would be amazing. |

Nice. Let's hope for 40 or more. I really want some good free agents to see that this is a team on the rise. 40+ just sounds so much better.

Agreed but the season can still be a success if we manage 40 wins somehow. |

Thread title says nothing about 40 wins. Am I missing something? |

Even getting to 40 wins will be tough. We have to go 9-4 against decent teams. It will be tough considering how we keep not closing games.
Hopefully how things end up:
Mar 19 @ Indiana - L
Mar 22 @ New Orleans - L
Mar 24 @ Memphis - W
Mar 26 @ Detroit - W
Mar 28 vs Dallas - W
Mar 30 vs Milwaukee - W
Apr 1 vs Sacramento - W
Apr 3 @Utah - L
Apr 4 vs San Antonio - W
Apr 6 vs Minnesota - W
Apr 8 vs Utah - L
Apr 10 vs Houston - W
Apr 11 @ LAC - W |
