Remaining schedules for 4th-8th seeds

1. One game back of the scary Pels and the free falling Clippers and just one game ahead of the Kings and Suns. What do yall think of the remaining schedules? No one has an easy path and Mavs have a deceptively tough 4 games against the Warriors and surging Rockets fighting for that last play in spot too.

2. It’s tough, I’d be pretty disappointed if we don’t finish 4th, as the other 4 teams verse eachother and just generally have way tougher schedules.

   But finishing 4th means we are stuck in the Denver side of the bracket

3. The Phoenix schedule is brutal lol the other ones have tough schedules as well and the Mavs while not to those levels of tough isn’t just a layup they will be playing teams fighting for positioning and their playoff lives. It’s gonna be a wild finish.

4. The only problem I have with the whole “ease of schedule” at this stage of the season is that teams with nothing to lose can play loose. But then there are also the teams that are out of the playoffs that are trying to position themselves for a better draft pick. The Mavs should decide as a team if they want to start playing with playoff intensity or if they want to temper their effort to go into the playoffs fully healthy.

5. With how tight everything is, that final game against OKC may actually matter for seeding for both teams.

6. Damn, I could see the Suns losing every remaining game. That is a rough schedule.

7. 2 games vs. gsw and vs. rockets are going to be playoff intensity. You just get the feeling Draymond will try some UFC shit in those games. One of the rockets games is my pick for a letdown game. 

8. Phoenix is screwed. The Lakers might actually catch them.

9. mavs has the easiest schedule

10. If the Clippers fall to 7th, the play-in would have four teams with Finals MVPs. Kinda nuts.

11. Besides the next Kings game, Mavs don’t play any of the others.

    Unlike the other 4, who will all be taking points off each other multiple times. Nice.

12. What a silly schedule for us to fly to Houston for a game and then fly back to California

13. Clippers-Mavs 4-5 matchup incoming, even though they suck rn, playoffs are playoffs and i dont wanna see kawhii in first round again…
