    With the scheduling and the 2 very tough opponents at the end, 3-3 would probably be acceptable, but with the record so far, I want to stay in 2nd place in the West or contend for #1.....and 3-3 won't do it. So I 'wish' for 4-2 or better but looking at this schedule, that will be tough.

    Then again, if the Blazer are as good as their early record, shouldn't we expect them to go at least 4-2? I know many fans keep waiting for the other shoe to drop or for them to come back to a 50-win pace, but why not shoot for the moon?

    The Laker game is huge. Get off to a good start before changing time-zones.
    Wolves will be interesting as they will have quite a different look and KAT is out to prove Butler was the problem.

    I put 2-4, and that wont be easy. Knicks I feel ok about. Wizards should be ok. The rest are tough.

    Winning on the road is hard. going .500 is good, but this trip to me isn't .500.

    Wizards
    Knicks

    Warriors


    This is not off to a good start. The good feelings of the hot start seem like a distant memory.

    I still have good feelings. I went to every home game this year except the first preseason game. I’ve already seen them win 9 times. Our only 2 losses were an OT fluke loss where Wall hit bank shots and a loss to Lakers where LeBron hit 5 straight theees. As for the road, we are 3-3. Not bad. Nice win in Indiana for 2nd year in a row. Beat Hardenless Rockets but they still had CP3 who used to give us trouble. Beat a decent Orlando team too. On pace for 55 win season. Keep the good feelings going!!!

    Funny. I saw us getting obliterated by the Warriors. But with Curry being out and Dramond being Michael Scott to K.D.'s Flenderson.... the last four games aren't looking that bad.

    Agreed. Without Curry, they’ve looked like a lottery team.
