Just calling things the way I see it here. Do I hope I'm wrong ? YES! I just can't see us beating Boston in their building and the Charlotte in theirs. Not with everything on the line. Boston has experience and Charlotte has Kemba. We have virtually no experience in these situations and don't have a go to guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a reason why they're afraid he may sign somewhere else this offseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horford and Irving. Two key words here. You do know Horford has an injury. He may not play up to full speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted April 7, 2019 9 hours ago, ?4thewin said: That math is incorrect. If you assume every game is a coin flip it's (1/2 + 1/2) + ((1/2 +1/2)x(1/2+1/2+1/2)) which is a 250% likelihood. But just remember we're talking about probability. If you flip a coin 4 times trying to get heads once you'd expect a 200% success rate. But you can still flip tails 4 times in a row Not sure how u came up with that math? When I do the math it comes up as a positive number, which I do not understand considering nothing is 100%. Regardless, as long as it’s MORE LIKELY we make it, we should be good. What I did was: 1/2 multiplier of the 2 remaining games we play and one of each of the 3 other teams still in the race. We win one or the other, or the other teams lose one game. 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/32 chance we do not make it. I still like our chances. 31/32 chance we make it. I like our chances.

Also, IMO, the strength of our team is we do well when we have energy, move without the ball, and play like a team. Not saying we don't need a go to guy, but we are making the most of things without one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
