Obviously we Wanna win out, but it's not a thing that's like "oh it'd be nice to win all our games" its a thing where we need to win out the next 5 games. New Orleans is just bad and without AD we should steam roll them. Milwaukee has solid players but are still trying to figure out who does what, so we should win there. As a playoff team we need to handle our business when we play bottom dwelling teams. It will give us some good confidence and momentum moving forward into the final three games which are huge! So again, we need to take care of business. The final three games are ATL, then Miami then Charlotte(correct me if that order is wrong). Those teams are all within a half game of us and every win(especially against them) is going to be huge! If we win out we should be a lock for the 3 seed, which would be awesome. Ohh yeah, did I mention it will put us at 50 wins! The 3 seed would most likely pit us against Charlotte, who is far less scary than ATL or MIA, and it would keep us clear of facing Cleveland in the second round. We would have such momentum moving forward that could easily propel us to the ECF! 5 straight wins to close out the season and then a potential sweep(hopefully) of Charlotte! This is so important because obviously winning is way more fun than losing, but also because being the third seed and (potentially)making the ECF and stealing a few games from Cleveland would be HUGE for KD possibly coming here this offseason. If we show we can compete and are right there in the mix to make it to the finals he would seriously consider coming here. Not to mention all the playoff experience our extremely young team would get, that will be huge for development. Barring any upsets, in the second round we would be facing Toronto who I think we have a legitimate chance of beating in a 7 game series. But that only happens if we win out. ATL without a doubt has the hardest schedule the next five games, but Miami's is cake. So they could also go on a run. We need every win we can get from here on out.
