It may take less than 96 to make the playoffs. That's almost irrelevant here. The point of the black line is that if you end the season with 96 points, you will make the playoffs, no matter what anyone else does. The snakes allow you to just focus on your own team, and not worry about what the OOT scoreboard looks like. If you don't get to 96 points, you'll need help from other teams, but still could make the playoffs. 96 points is not the projected finish of the 8th seed.
