I started playing around with the NYT playoff predictions engine. The long and short of it is this: 97% chance of playoffs if we run the table, ~5% chance of playoffs if we lose just one game. So, for this squad to win a title, they essentially need to win 10 games in a row - anything less and they’re cooked. I’m not holding my breath or anything, but at least there’s still a path. Fire McDermott into the sun if they miss the playoffs though.

This ain’t right.
With one more loss we would have a 45-60% chance of making the playoffs (the higher odds if that loss is to DAL)
5% is if we lose two more games.
