    Well we’re 3 games back now but we’re in the Top 6 which we must stay in to guarantee playoffs. Only one game out of Top 3 seed which means contender. We are 4-1 vs the current Top 3.

    1. Phoenix 14-6
    2. Denver 13-7
    3. New Orleans 12-8
    4. Memphis 12-8
    5. Los Angeles Clippers 12-9
    6. Portland 11-9

    Tomorrow:
    Los Angeles Clippers @ Portland
    Golden State (11-10) @ Dallas

    Wednesday:
    Portland @ Los Angeles Lakers
    Memphis @ Minnesota
    Toronto @ New Orleans
    Houston @ Denver
    Chicago @ Phoenix
    Clippers @ Utah
    Indiana @ Sacramento (10-9)

    Games in November count as much as games in March. It's also fun. So not a waste of time.

    two would be good. They could drop all of those easily esp. if Dame is rusty

    Well I felt like asking for 6 was way too much, but expecting 2 wins with 4 as the most likely ceiling.

    If they lose all 6 of those, than you can pretty much call it a season. Those are all middle of the road teams (yes even Utah and their bloated win total) that you need to beat a handful of if they want to even make the play in games!

    FAMS! I'm actually starting to get worried that my 39/40 win prediction is too high!

    We are seeing just how much Dame means to this team, and why they still aren't a championship level contender, or even a top of the West contender. Yes everyone of the decent to good teams has that 'one' guy but to be great you have to be able to weather the storm when they are out and this roster is not doing that at the moment.

    Don't lose hope! Just keep it around .500 ball through 40 games!
    One really decent schedule break they get in Feb. They have a 5 game home stand before the All-Star break. One game on the road vs the Kings and then they get 2 more days off before a home game vs Houston.
    That's a bunch of rest time before another brutal roady.

    Problem is they need to get through December somehow?

    This was an amusing thread at the time, and even funnier now
