We're Chipping This Year

From missing the playoffs for 5+years to Chipping?

Lakers did it in the Bubble. But they already had LBJ who was injured the year before, and added AD in the offseason. This team also had a really good supporting cast.

Spurs kinda have the same template with Wemby's injury keeping us out of play-in, at least. And adding Fox who only played a handful of games before being shutdown himself. It's possible but Wemby, Castle & Harper would have to make multiple in-season leaps in their game. And they have to stay healthy, obviously.
 
The odds are always slim.

No reason they can't do it if they lock in defensively by the playoffs and avoid big shooting slumps. Still gotta see Victor play extended, like 40 games, without missing more than a single game at a time for rest. I like that Mitch is limiting his minutes right now. I'd keep doing that as long as the team is winning.
 
For reference, OKC went from 24 to 40 to 57 wins and a 2nd round exit.
I think it's safe to say our last season should've been the 40 win one, we were on pace for it even before the Fox trade, but then disaster struck.

Right now we're on 61 win pace despite all the injuries we had. I think it's realistic to expect a 55+ wins season if everyone can stay healthy.
