If Detroit continues on its current trend the rest of the season, CHI and CHA might both be able to get in..

Since no one else has responded. There are 8 teams duking it out for spots 6-8 in the Eastern Conference. We're going to have to beat more than just Chi-town to make the playoffs... that is unless everyone keeps losing.

if you look at the schedules, the Bucks are finished.. the Knicks and Nets are hanging onto the chance with their fingernails, but its gunna come down to the Bulls and Cats.. if Detroit keeps losing, we cud both make it in..

With the Bulls win tonight they move 2 games ahead of the Bobcats, so tomorrow's game at Washington is once again a must win. Mathematically, everyone is alive except for Washington in the playoff hunt. But really, it just comes down to the Bobcats, Bulls, Bucks, and maybe Nets if they can make a run.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
