Edwards may be holding things up but the math starts to get pretty clear in the simplest of models.
Little doubt they are closer to saying "lets call it" then they were on Saturday afternoon.

Yeah the points back is always misleading. It's the number of teams you have to out perform and climb over that is key. Due to teams playing each other, the overtime points, etc, some of those teams are going to get points on a regular basis. So if you have a lot of teams between you and a playoff spot, it doesn't really matter that you are "only 5 points back", the odds are stacked against you.
