Well, there was yet another double-loss for the Bulls last night. They got beat up by the Sixers outside of a 6 minute ‘rally’, and the Wizards put up over 150 points to beat the Pacers.
The Bulls are now 4 games back (they do own the tiebreakers) with just 7 games remaining. As unlikely as it is for the Bulls to win 7 in a row, it’s almost as unlikely for the Wizards to only go 3-4 in that time.
It’s pretty pointless to look at the strength of opponent, teams will be hurt or tired or proactively sitting guys, but here ya go, the teams ahead of the Bulls for the final two play-in slots, and their games remaining:

It’s also pretty pointless to concern ourselves with the Bulls organization actively trying to lose.
