Bucks are self destructing . Definitely reachable
Celtics , Heat and Nets might all make it in
Not a chance. Bucks have games against the Knicks, Magic, and 76ers left in their final 8 games. They're up by 2 over 3 teams. Just not enough time to fall that far past so many teams.
read your post again. You sound like the Bucks are going 8-0 or even 6-2
They are stuggling and 2 games behind with 8 games left is not alot of seperation
It's a ton of separation. Bucks can go 2-5 and would need the Celtics to go 5-2 over that same stretch to fall into a tie. Not happening, much less the Nets and Heat also going 5-3 over that same stretch. Over 20 games, it's a lot of time. With 7-8 games left, 2 games is a mountain. If the Bucks weren't playing the three worst teams in the East over that period, maybe there's be a chance, albeit a small one. As it stands, the Bucks are in the lead and have the easiest schedule remaining. But keep believing what you want. Don't let probability and reason get in the way.
with 8 games left, yes, 2 games leads are mountains. as noted by saltlover, imagine with 8 games left with team A having a two game lead over team B. all team A does is play .500 ball (4-4), then team B would need to finish the season with a 6-2 run just to TIE team A. to pull ahead of team A, team B would have to go 7-1.
the bucks have three easy teams coming up and they plan to play hard i am sure.
