And I bet you are probably thinking ORL/WAS are at least 1/2 of those 3/4 wins. Those are the games we HAVE to win this year if we are to stay afloat in the west. That Denver game is the barometer for that first trip. If we can beat Denver, I feel confident we can carry that momentum through WAS/ORL and start out 3-0. Then if you win 1/3 and end 4-2 on the first stint you are feeling great about that 6 game stretch. If we are slumping at that time it could easily look like 1-2 or 0-3 and then you are scrapping to salvage that road stretch against playoff/HCA teams in the east.
Oct they might get lucky and get out 3-3 But November is just brutal. Easily could come out of November 6-11 for the month. Which puts them at 9-14 to start December. Now look at the first 6 games of December Spurs Celtics T-Wolves Pistons Clippers Warriors Suns. They end the month with the Jazz, Mavs, Nets and Lakers If they start the season better than 15-25 in the first 40 games They might have a chance to make the playoffs. Yeah they HAVE to win games against teams like the Hornets, KIngs and Grizzlies. Not sure what you mean by WAS?
