    We have a really tough 10 game stretch till the ASB and the way we come out of this stretch will determine a lot in terms of if we make the playoffs and what seed.

    I assume that Roy will be back for the last three games. Also i think that having batum back will help in some ways but will also hurt the roatation that has showed really good dividends.

    Heres what i think
    Mon, Jan 25 New Orleans W
    Wed, Jan 27 Utah L
    Fri, Jan 29 @ Houston W
    Sat, Jan 30 @ Dallas L

    Mon, Feb 1 Charlotte W
    Wed, Feb 3 @ Utah L
    Thu, Feb 4 San Antonio W
    Sat, Feb 6 LA Lakers L
    Tue, Feb 9 Oklahoma City W
    Wed, Feb 10 @ Phoenix L

    so thats 5 and 5, and i think im giving this resilient team the benefit of the doubt.

    Your thougths?

    I'm going to say 6-4. I'll take the wins that you gave us, but add a win at Phoenix too.

    10 straight games vs teams with .500 or better record. I WOULD TAKE 5-5!!!! In a heartbeat.

    Not gonna happen. Like I said before, we can lose every other game during this stretch, but we will not lose to LA @ home.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd favour the Jazz in Utah, but not in Portland.

    A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship... But it is not this day!

    Last time we had a thread like this, the team blew us out of the water. Remember? The tough seven game stretch? Suns, Kings, Magic, Heat, Spurs, Mavs, Nuggets? 6-1, Baby!

    No reason to think we can't go 8-2 or at least 7-3 on this stretch!

    L??? Haven't you learned anything from the last 5 years. We will PUNK the Lakers in that game. I think I'm going to go watch it on the big screen at ESPNZone at Disneyland and watch all the Laker fans cry afterwards.

    pretty sure we'll go 10-0. I don't really see any good teams on that list. Dallas is tough at home but we already beat them there without half our team. Worst case scenario 9-1 with the Bobcats winning in overtime at the RG.
