It's going to take 50+ to get into the playoffs. This team is hungry and that is the goal.
53 wins.
I think the most games an 8 seed has ever won is 50, so 50 games should be a nearly guarantee for the playoffs. I don't think a team has ever won 50 games and not made it in. From what I see, 48 wins is the highest amount to ever not make the playoffs.
