I have them at under 17.5 wins. Still holding out hope

Knicks somehow down 17, 8min into the game. Melo leading the way with 4 points and 2 turnovers.

95% of Philly seems to think you're a lock to win here. I think they have to bring their absolute best against their opponent's absolute worst in order for them to win again. Think one of their best chances comes today if Afflalo is still out.

The odds of them winning on the road are slim

I've narrowed down the potential winnable games to Utah on the 8th, Sac on 12th, the Knicks on the 21st and Boston (battle of the tankers) on the 14th and maybe at Miami on April 16 (last game of season for Miami and may rest starters)

They most likely wont be favored in any more games

Home games with Detroit and Charlotte might be tougher than usual as those teams are playing to make the playoffs.

Speaking of Charlotte, Al Jefferson has quietly been having a great year for the Bobcats.

He is a guy that people tend to focus on what he isnt as opposed to what he can do because he is one of the best low post offensive players in the game. He has never gotten the chance to play on a good team so he is easy to forget about. I find myself thinking after watching him play that so few people have any idea how good he is.

Al Jefferson is probably the best low post player in the game. He does have flaws, but putting the ball in the basket isn't one of them. I'm amazed he chose to sign with Charlotte though, makes you wonder if he values winning at all.
