Predict: The next 10 games on the schedule

So, I decided to just make a new thread. I liked Mags first one, and since we are 9/10ths of the way through that, I'd just start with the Dallas one and do the next 10. Predict. Enjoy!

12/7 Dallas Mavericks

12/9 @Utah Jazz

12/12 Houston Rockets

12/14 @ Philadelphia

12/15 @ Detroit

12/17 @ Cleveland

12/18 @ Minnesota

12/21 New Orleans

12/26 Los Angeles Clippers

12/28 Miami Heat

A little bit of both on this one. Enjoy! I'll do my prediction, as well.

 

12/7 Dallas Mavericks- (Win. I like the matchups of this game.)

12/9 @Utah Jazz - (It is in Utah. But we still win.)

12/12 Houston Rockets - (Oh boy. I think we're a different team, and I say we win. Only loophole is the Harden Awards.)

12/14 @ Philadelphia (The start of 4 games in 5 nights on the road. Damn the schedulers. But, we still win. 76ers are one of the worst defense teams.)

12/15 @ Detroit (This will be interesting. Drummond has been playing out of his mind. We still win.)

12/17 @ Cleveland (Don't know what's up with Irving, but I think we still win.)

12/18 @ Minnesota (Ooooh! I can't wait for this game. I hate that it's on the 4th game in 5 nights, but the boys will be amped! Win.)

12/21 New Orleans (Without AD it'll be a tall task for the Pelicans. Though they have some good guards. Still a win.)

12/26 Los Angeles Clippers (I hate this team. I'm saying win no matter what. lol)

12/28 Miami Heat (Just think if we get to this game taking care of business. Game of the year perhaps? THE signature game of the year to date, IMO. I'm saying we win.)

So, with all that. I say we go 10-0 on this trip. Call me crazy, that's cool. But I think it's doable. With only a couple concern games (@ minny, and the Miami game) I can see us going 9-1 or 8-2. But 10-0 baby! I'm calling it!

 

Ugh.... so many trap games.

I think Houston will be tough. I think Detroit will be tough. Minnesota is due for a win against us. We've got the Heat at home, which is good, but you can never count out of the refs.

I really don't want to make any predictions.

 

Undefeated in December.

 

Without reading your post, 10-0. Either that or 0-10. But I guarantee nothing in between.

 

i love how this season has made me utterly unintimidated by any team, besides the terrifying phi suns. teams have to beat our execution, and thats just not going to happen.

 

10-0. 8-2 at worst.

 

Jinx! Buy me a coke!

 

Every game is winnable, but I still have a hard time believing we keep up our winning pace, although I do believe the Blazers are really good and beat my pre-season prediction (44 and 38) by 15 games, ending with a 59 win team. As far as the next ten, 7 wins and 3 losses to the Rockets, wolves and heat. So after 30 gamed I expect a record of 24 and 6.

 

Why on earth would the Wolves beat us? We are wayyyy better than them. Rockets could be tough but they only gave us trouble because they started Asik and Howard and gave us mismatch issues. They're not playing Asik like that anymore. As for the Heat, they are struggling and Wade is hobbling. Totally winnable game. Honestly, I see us at 27-3 after these next ten.

 

I think they are all winnable. I just expect a few stumbles by such a young team. I choose the Wolves mainly because I already have a bet with a friend on the Blazers for that game, and I don't want to get cocky and jinx us.

 

8-2 would be really really good.

Some of you have been really caught by the wave....10-0? like seriously? I would be my house we wouldnt go 10-0

 

i'll be logging my 0-10 prediction via the prediction game

 

Much harder than the last 10 games.

 

I can see that; the eastern teams we'll be facing aren't total patsies, and Utah will be out for revenge. The Pelicans and Clippers might give us trouble, and Miami is Miami. Still, I think we can pull out 7-3 optimistically... 6-4 realistically. Since I'm an optimist, I'll say 7-3, with losses to Utah, Detroit, and Miami.

 

V.S. Mavs - W
@ Jazz - W
V.S. Rockets - L
@ Philly - L
@ Detroit - W
@ Cleveland - W
@ Minnesota - W
V.S. Pellys - L
V.S. Clips - W
V.S. El Heat - L

 

Rockets only team to disrespect us at home so far. Revenge will be sweet. Wolves stand no chance, Aldridge read what sinobas said about him and love and is going to make him eat his foot.

 

12/7 Dallas Mavericks (Win)

12/9 @Utah Jazz (Win, but by only 10)

12/12 Houston Rockets (win)

12/14 @ Philadelphia (win)

12/15 @ Detroit (Lose)

12/17 @ Cleveland (win)

12/18 @ Minnesota (win)

12/21 New Orleans (win)

12/26 Los Angeles Clippers (win)

12/28 Miami Heat (win)

We will go on a 10 game win streak and Detroit breaks it, then we should win another 7 in a row.

9-1 on this 10 game spread

 

ha. we said best 10-0. My actual real prediction would be 8-2.

 

I'm interested to hear the reasoning behind the Philly and NOP losses? The rockets and heat one I understand.
