You want to wait until there's a definite timetable for Dirk and how this year shakes out record-wise, but if they go on a complete drought against the heavy schedule and end up 11-20 going into 2013 it'll be tough to reach the playoffs.
51 games left and you'll probably need 46 Ws for the 8th seed means going 35-16 in the remainder. Not impossible with Dirk (need a 68.8 Win%, posted such a % in 6 of 11 non-rookie, non-lockout seasons) but it's also far away from being a lock.
11-20 not the most probable scenario, but it's surely something that could happen.
