That's the way I look at it. SA Indy @ Denver Minny Lakers Dallas New Jersey @ Atlanta @ Memphis @ Indy @ Cleveland @ Milwaukee Philly Phoenix Memphis Utah I see us going 8-2 at home and 3-3 on the road 11-5 in March.
That sounds about right. At least the total does, not sure about the home and road records. We should be favored in eight games: Indy @ Minny New Jersey @ Memphis @ Indy @ Milwaukee Philly Memphis That leaves eight more games that will be tougher: SA @ Denver Lakers Dallas @ Atlanta @ Cleveland Phoenix Utah We'll probably win a few of them, hopefully against our West rivals.
I went through the remaining schedule just to see what the team is up against, and assuming they win a couple that they shouldn't and lose a few that they shouldn't it still seemed pretty likely they will win 48-50 games. How crazy is it that the team is only 7 wins away from matching last season's total? Damn, the season has flown by.
furthermore, that 5 game roadtrip will define us for the month. We can already nearly assume a loss in Cleveland. We match up poorly with them and they have only lost once at home, and when is the last time we got a W there? There are teams we should beat..Indy, Memphis, & Millwaukee. We all know Indy is another house of horrors, Memphis should be an easy win, but you never know, and the same goes for Millwaukee. We always play it till the dire end at the Bradley Center. The KEY to the roadtrip is @ ATL..i we can start it off right and get a solid W..it could propel us to a 4-1 trip.
You're absolutely correct. Thanks for that. I duly edited my post. I still think 11-5 will be the outcome, though.
Indy and Cleveland on a back-to-back scenario, with the Cavs game on TNT Thursday.... that doesn't sound too promising. We never play well at Indy, but I'd LOVE to get that game in Cleveland. That would send a huge message. 50 wins this season seems to be more realistic though as each win passes by, and the more we have to play just over .500 ball the rest of the way to get there.
That would be awesome. I'm not nearly as optimistic as you are. I'm thinking we go just this side of .500 and go 9-7 in March. Like Nikolokolus said, we're likely to lose some that we should win and win some games that we expected to lose. Seeing as we're a pretty good team I go into most games expecting a W. So March figures to have a lot more negative surprises than positive ones.
