Bruh, you make more predictions than anyone! C'mon man... the past week you've all of a sudden went against many of your core characteristics as a poster. I'm so confused.
Damn. Most likely no Steph tomorrow and a somewhat tired W's team against us rested and possibly 100 percent if Mo comes back. Keep the streak alive!!
Blazers: 39-26, next 6 - vs Warriors, vs Heat, vs Cavs, vs Pistons, vs Clippers, @ Rockets. Getting tougher...projected 4-2 Pelicans: 38-26, next 6 - @ Kings(W), vs Wizards, vs Jazz, vs Hornets, @ Spurs, vs Rockets. Easy stretch...projected 5-1 Spurs: 37-28, next 6 - @ Warriors(L), @ Thunder, @ Rockets, vs Magic, vs Pels, vs Wolves. Brutal stretch....projected 2-4 Wolves: 38-29, next 6 - vs Celtics(L), vs Warriors, @ Wizards, @ Spurs, vs Rockets, vs Clippers. Tough stretch...projected 3-3 Thunder: 38-29, next 6 - vs Suns(W), vs Spurs, vs Kings, @ Hawks, vs Clippers, @ Raptors. Pretty easy...projected 5-1 Clippers: 34-29, next 6 - vs Cavs, vs Magic, @ Bulls, @ Rockets, @ Thunder, vs Blazers. Tough stretch...projected 2-4 Nuggets: 35-30, next 6 - vs Cavs(L), vs Lakers, vs Kings, @ Lakers, vs Pistons, @ Grizzlies. Pretty easy....projected 4-2 Jazz::::: 35-30, @ Grizzlies(W), @ Pacers, @ Pelicans, vs Pistons, vs Suns, vs Kings. Not too bad....projected 4-2 Spurs almost pulled out another huge upset against the Warriors but came up short. It was good that they gave the Warriors a run all the way to the end. The game ended late and hopefully that is good for the Blazers tomorrow night. Meanwhile, the Pelicans get another softy.
I wouldn't favor the Pelicans against Utah nor Houston. I even think the Wiz game could get messy. Gortat isn't some scrub, and Beal could go off. Never count out the Spurs.
Perhaps that should be 4-2. But the Spurs are 3-7 in their last 10 games so it's not like they have been playing well.
3-7, yes, but most of those losses have been on the road to playoff teams. Their schedule has been brutal. They've played pretty well despite their record. That said, one of those losses was at home to New Orleans, so I concede it's not unreasonable to project a second one. Still unlikely to me though.
Wiz have a 53 - 38 lead over the Pelicans at half time. Rondo passed up a wide open layup right before half to pass the ball in an attempt to get an assist. Buzzer sounded before his teammate got it off. AD is out also.
