vs. Detroit vs. New York vs. New Orleans @ Charlotte @ Atlanta vs. Charlotte @ New Jersey vs. Milwaukee vs. New Jersey @ Detroit vs. Miami @ Chicago Obviously, most of our remaning opponents are sub-.500 teams. The last game against Detroit might even be a gimme considering they'll have their playoff spot locked-up, in all likelihood. Anything less than 8-4 would be a disappointment, IMHO. As it stands Washington has jumped ahead of us for fifth place. We're 1.5 games out of that spot and with the way things are going, I don't think we will overtake them. Especially with Arenas on his way back. To them I say congrats--your reward is LeBron James in the first round. Right now we're looking at facing Orlando in the first round, which I think is a positive match-up for us, although we'll still be underdogs. Bosh and Howard have a tendency to cancel each other out and beyond that, Orlando is a jump-shooting team. Hedo and Shard are both outside shooters who take more threes than free throws and their supporting cast compares favorably to ours. To be honest I haven't been excited about this team since the beginning of the season. Hopefully the next month gets Raps fans geared up again.

I say we go to playoffs with a record of 41 - 41
Yeah, just as I make this thread Philly goes on a 19-0 run in the fourth to steal one against Boston. Crazy. Their schedule is a little harder than ours but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
vs. Detroit W vs. New York W vs. New Orleans L @ Charlotte W @ Atlanta vs. Charlotte @ New Jersey vs. Milwaukee vs. New Jersey @ Detroit vs. Miami @ Chicago So, we're on pace so far. With Philly nipping at our heels we really need to turn the Bobcats game into the beginning of a hot streak. We can potentially win the remaining games on the schedule. Atlanta and New Jersey are both in the heat of trying to make the playoffs so those games should still be intense. We are tied with Washington at the moment and just three games behind Cleveland.
I think Detroit will be resting their starters that game too, so really we should be considered favoured in each of these matchups. Come on Raps...
