    My guesses for what should (should) happen for the rest of the season:

    Sat, Mar 22 @ Charlotte - W
    Mon, Mar 24 @ Miami - L
    Tue, Mar 25 @ Orlando - W
    Thu, Mar 27 @ Atlanta - W
    Fri, Mar 28 @ Chicago - L
    Sun, Mar 30 vs Memphis - W
    Tue, Apr 1 @ Los Angeles Lakers - W
    Fri, Apr 4 vs Phoenix - W
    Sun, Apr 6 vs New Orleans - W
    Wed, Apr 9 vs Sacramento - W
    Fri, Apr 11 @ Utah - W
    Sun, Apr 13 vs Golden State - W
    Wed, Apr 16 vs Los Angeles Clippers - L

    That gives them a record of 55-27 to end the year. Will that be enough to catch the Rockets for 4th place? Unknown. Once again, the West is total murder this year.

    MEM, PHX, and GSW are the games that I think could flip from W to L. Conversely, LAC could flip to a W but I agree that a L is more likely.
    And really, I won't be surprised by any loss from here on out.

    If we come out of this game with 3 wins, that might jump start us a bit. But a 10-3 finish as you are predicting will be very tough. I want to see when LA will comeback and how he can acclimate.

    This. I rather play San Antonio, OKC, or the Clippers honestly.

    It's not looking good man. We seem pretty locked in to the 5th spot.

    Yup... I think it's time we unleash Meyers and destroy Howard's back. Maybe have Wes cup check Harden a couple times.

    That would be a 22 game improvement with Mo and RoLo being the only major additions. That would be incredible.

    We're only 1.5 games ahead of GS and they're currently winning the season series.

    Atlanta with Millsap have been playing much better.... I'm not so confident with that game.

    Houston is the last team of the four that I would want to play. I think the Clippers have the most potential to underachieve come playoff time. Thus, i would not be too upset with a poor record on our upcoming road trip.

    I think San Antonio has the most potential to lose. They may be on a huge win streak and be #1 in the West but they are not that tough of a team this season IMO. I think every western playoff team besides Dallas can beat them.

    One win in what seems to be the last forever against a team .500 or better and all of a sudden we are world beaters?

    It's been done before though. Memphis beat them 4-1 IIRC in the 1st round a few years ago. This is a deep west and the Spurs made an insanely deep run last year.
