We really need Roy now. This is the EASY schedule we've been anticipating. We've gotta win 8 of these 11. We've gotta get our team back on track and this is the time to do it. It would put us at 28-17. Then we'd only have to go 22-15 the rest of the way to win 50 games. Can we do it? Can we do it???
We will be fine. After we win 3 or 4 in a row, i don't want to see anybody on here talking about contending for the championship again!
HCP- Do you think we'll make the playoffs? I'm scared we won't. We must come out of this stretch smelling like a rose or we'll fall out of the race right quick.
This will be a good time to make up some ground. Hopefully the early speculation is true and B-Roy will be back for the Golden State game. Now it'll come down to winning games you're supposed to win. I think a few wins in a row will do well for the psyche of the players and fans alike.
We "really" need Roy now? I disagree. This is the perfect time for Roy to rest up and take care of his nagging injuries. The majority of our games are against sub .500 teams and our games are fairly spread out, not many back to backs (only 2 back to backs between now and the All Star break).
We need Roy to beat most any team,above .500 or not, if the last couple games are any indication of an overall pattern in team play. We've already been beaten by the likes of the Clippers and Golden State with BRoy, so we can't take anything for granted as we try to stay in the playoff hunt.
W/O Roy, our offensive schemes need to change, and they haven't from what I've seen. and relying on Travis off the bench isn't very reliable. We REALLY need Webster back, so him and Batum can rotate and reduce Trout's minutes, thus allowing us to focus on other options to score, force feed Oden and Aldridge more, w/ Kick-outs to Rudy/Martell.
What is the status on Martell these days? He was injured again Dec. 7, they said four weeks, and it's been four weeks.
I really think we will make the playoffs. If I remember correctly, I think I predicted 7th or 8th. I'll stand by that. We have had a pretty tough schedule, and I think we'll take care of these lesser teams coming up and be fine.
