    17/11 AT Houston Rockets
    18/11 AT New Orleans Pelicans
    20/11 AT Brooklin
    22/11 AT NYK
    23/11 AT Cleveland Cavaliers

    I pray to we win at least 2 games (Brooklin and NOP). Its the begining of a 5 games road trip.

    What you guys expected?

    We can make a 4-1 or 3-2 in this road trip if we have lucky

    3-2 should be expected with losses to Houston and Cleveland, but the Knicks game scares me with the way we have been playing. Also, the Pelicans game is on the second night of a back to back, so that game won't be as easy as the their record indicates...

    Think we might be below .500 after those. Rockets are actually the least equipped to expose our frontcourt deficiences and lack of inside defense. Scary to think how many Davis is going to drop, could be 50.

    We'll be favored in the middle three, but there are land-mine aspects to all of them. If we see the same effort we saw last night, they'll go 0-5. If they care, 3-2 shouldn't be a problem.

    Utah just went 4-1 on their similar road trip (and then laid an egg vs MEM at home).

    We can't fall back too much from them.

    If they play like they have been, it will be close games (mostly wins) against the bad teams and they will struggle with the good teams.
