Although those are a lot of road games, most of them are very winnable. I said the Lakers would win on the 19th because I am a Laker fan.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting C.K.:</div><div class="quote_post">Well it is a tough schedule, but then again you guys have two games against the Knicks </div> Horray! Easy money. Seriously though not too bad of a start. Best to get that road bash up and out early instead of late into the season. I'm going to say 9-5 at the end of the first 14 game stretch.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Ben Wallace is like Jesus Christ to you guys. I still think SOME team is going to upset Chicago. Orlando has the best shot in my opinion.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">Oh yeah, I guess you have to be in your prime and not overpaid to be Jesus.</div> No you just have to be able to shoot a jumper, and hit multiple game winners.
Magic fans think Howard is jesus lol, but yeah, when he's in his prime. Anyways, it is a tough start. But, like M Two One said, better the start than finish.
Very tough schedule start of the season for us. But it is good to get the tough road trips out at the start of the season. The good thing is we only have to play back to back games 3 times during this stretch. Gives us a little time to rest during this tough stretch.
I think the worst the bulls can do is a 7-7 card. But I can see them at 9-5. Maybe sweep the home games and split the road games. Dallas, San Antonio and Cleveland will be tough to beat at home.
I think what Brian posted is pretty spot on. 10-4 sounds about right after that first Away stretch of games.
I just realized it actually 11 out of our first 15 on the road here is an article... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Bulls expect significant improvement in the 2006-07 season after adding Ben Wallace, P.J. Brown and two first-round draft picks. Well, things better come around quickly because the Bulls open with 11 of their first 15 games on the road. The Bulls are used to spending most of November in hotels because that?s when the circus invades the United Center. But this marks just the third time in franchise history they?ll have four home dates through 15 games. It also happened in 1988-89 and 1974-75. ?There is nothing we can do about the way the season starts,? general manager John Paxson said. ?We just have to accept that as a real challenge knowing that, over the course of the year, it balances out. Hopefully that early part of the schedule will force us to grow as a team quickly and pay dividends for us later on.?</div> Source
