Four back in the loss column to CLE is a big deal with only 20 to play. Plus they have a game in hand.

If Raps go 12-8 over the last 20 that gives them a 45-37 record.

CLE then has to go 9-12 over their last 21 to reach that mark. Not going to happen. They are playing better of late having just beat the Rockets and Pistons and barely losing to the Mavs. And if you look at their schedule they have 15 games left that you have to classify as 'should win'.

So the odds are that CLE goes at least 12-9 down the stretch forcing the Raps to go 15-5 or better. Highly unlikely given the way the Raps are playing right now.
