[Bodner] Sorry, I can’t maths. To claim the 6th seed, the Sixers need: – The Pacers to win their final two games (at CLE, vs Hawks.) – The Sixers to win their own final two games (vs Orlando, vs Nets.) 3-team tie b/w Sixers, Magic and Pacers would go Magic, then Pacers, then Sixers



That’s actually not what I wanted to hear at all.

Sixers don’t control their own destiny at all.

edit:

>This is true as well, which would leave Pacers 5th, Sixers 6th and Magic 7th.

>Pacers going 0-2 would work as well.

>Going to stop going through iterations since there’s a bunch. tl;dir if the Sixers win out they have a really good chance.

    What about a 3 way tie with the cavs and magic?

    Just watch the games and we will find out when the regular season is done, we play to win every game and predictions don’t mean anything

  3. Catching the magic seems like the easiest route considering they play them & the bucks are their last game

    Well the good news is we now control our density for at worst the 7 seed. Playing Miami one game to avoid Boston isn’t ideal, but I’d much rather do it at home than in Miami

    Why would we need the Pacers to win games if we’re able to just pass the Magic?

    Think of it this way.

    You’re going against a pair of poker aces in Texas hold ‘em but on the flip you have a straight and flush draw. You’re not “winning” but there’s a lot of reasonable outs.

    I still like our chances if we win out.

    I’d rather win out avoid the play in and get Boston in the second .. who cares have to face them at some point either way

    The first and second round are gonna be either Bucks + Knicks, or Cavs + Celtics. Let’s just do this. Sometimes it’s good to have our destiny in others hands, so that we don’t need to have too much pressure thinking about winning or losing
