I'm not so sure. I checked our upcoming schedule to the end of regular season and i see 16 unwinnable games for us. Assuming we win the 22 games left our record will be 45-37. Last season it had worthed 7th spot Eastern Conference. Right now we are 6 games ahead of Charlotte, the most dangerous menace IMO. Could they win 29 of their next 40 games? I don't think so. But that's best case scenario.
Our worst case scenario, not so pessimistic given the fact how bad we're playing lately, is to win only 16 and lose 22 games. In that case, our record will be 39-43. Last season it had left us 10th spot Eastern Conference. It would be only +10 games better than our last season's record. Could Charlotte win 23 of their next 40 games? Definitely. So can Philadelphia win 21 from 41. It could leave us 8th spot in the end. Disappointing, but also counts as a playoff run.
So, yeah... 16 more wins and we finally made it.
