Meth has a lot of eastern conference games coming up. I think 5-9 or even 6-8 is achievable before the middle of next month. And Westbrook will probably be back before that. Let's say they go 5-9 before Durant's projected return in mid December. Then they're 8-17, and need 40 wins in 57 games to likely snag an 8 seed. So they'd need to play at a 58 win pace the rest of the season, which is pretty doable if Durant is healthy by then. If it takes Durant until January then they're probably ed though.
