7-3 would be great. I'd take that and run . . . FAST. That 4 game roady scares me. Remember the last time we went to Olk City? It could easily wind up being a 1-3 trip. The Lakers are still battling with Cleveland for homecourt, and I'd bet they circled this game on the calendar after the last go-round in P-Town. 6-4 or 5-5 seems more likely.
It's possible we slip up against OKC, but I think we get wins against Utah, LA, and Denver on our court. We always play well against those teams at home.
Memphis W Utah W @ OKC W @ Houston L @ Memphis W @ San Antonio L Lakers W @ Clippers W OKC W Denver W 8-2. Favourites in the home games, favourites in the road games against bad teams, underdogs in the road games to good teams.
I almost went with that same prediction Minstrel, but I just get a feeling we'll slip up against the Clips. We already did it once this year.
They're just so bad. I can't see it happening again. if there's a trap road game, I'd say it's OKC. But I'll still predict what is likeliest to happen, in my view. They may drop an unexpected game, but they may also win an unexpected one.
Memphis W Utah W @ OKC W @ Houston L @ Memphis W @ San Antonio W Lakers L @ Clippers W OKC W Denver W 8-2....Doooooooo it!
Memphis W Utah W @ OKC W @ Houston W @ Memphis W @ San Antonio W Lakers W @ Clippers W OKC W Denver W 10-0
If you guys are right about 8-2, then we'd most likely be the #4 seed. That would mean 53 wins. The Rockets have a brutal scedule - we'd pass them. Denver's schedule is soft - they would probably still be #3. I can't imagine that the Hornets or Jazz can pass us if we go 8-2 with their schedules. And Dallas isn't going 10-0. I still think 6-4 isn't bad. Probably leave us with 6 or 7 seed, which might be where we belong.
A 3-6 seed is just fine for me. It is all about match ups not home court. Look at the last two years Jazz vs Rockets. The Jazz have been a 4 and Houston a 5. But both times the Rockets have had the home court advantage.Who won?......The team without the home court advantage. It's all about match ups. Who do we match up well against?
