Analysis Another 10 games

[LeBowen]

Posting this one early because Mavs game is tomorrow. Doesn't include tonight's OKC game.
All-star break splits this stretch of games.
I'd say Mavs x2, Kings, Nets should be guaranteed wins. We should beat the Suns at home in the first game after the break.
Going 3-2 in those 5 road games against competitive teams would be nice, 4-1 would be ideal.

 

[brazil]

That 7 away games against some tough nuts and 1 away btb.. not an easy schedule

I'd go 6-4

 

[scott]

7-3 for me

 

[Rafa]

^^ Cowards, 8-2 for me baby, this stretch will make us. Losses to @Pistons and some other dumb game we should've won like home against the Kings or something.

 

[LeBowen]

I actually think we're a terrible matchup for the Pistons.
We have good Cade defenders and they have two non-shooters in Ausar and Duren, similar to the Rockets with Amen and Sengun.

 

[BatManu20]

Going with 7-3, though 8-2 is realistic if we're healthy but I think we'll def drop 1-2 games that we prob shouldn't tbh. 6'4 is also realistic lol.

 

[Robz4000]

6-4 imo.

@Mavs - L
Mavs - W
@Lakers - L
@Dubs - W
Suns - W
Kings - W
@Pistons - L
@Raps - W
@Nets - W
@Knicks - L

 

[Itzsoweezee]

I went with 7-3. Really opportunities to get some payback on early season losses. Good chance for Wemby to shut Brooks up

With the way we’ve swung the pendulum game to game since Xmas, I’d say anything from 5-5 to 10-0 wouldn’t surprise me lol

 

[Mugen]

Another 7-3 tbh

 

[Correct Crusader]

7-3 losses to Suns, Pistons, Raptors

 

[RC_Drunkford]

We've been playing 0.500 ball for the past 18 games, so most likely 5-5. Depends on what we do at the deadline.

 

[Coyote2!]

Predicting the funniest possible outcome:

6-4 with all of our losses coming to sub-.500 teams

 

[Arguendo]

7-3! Strong push before a pretty brutal final 22 games, although those have gotten easier with the Harden trade and PG13 suspension, and maybe Mem/Mil/Chi/Dal going to tank mode.

Spurs win all the games they're supposed to, lose 3 of the @LAL, b2b@GSW, @DET, @TOR, @NYK. Great prep for the playoffs, get 7 of these then go 12-10 in the final 22 and a top3 seed is very likely (plus a historic 30+ win turnaround). Den has the 2nd hardest remaining SOS and we play them 3 times. Hou's schedule is very light, lets hope for a 3 game losing streak to Bos/Cha/OKC this week!

What was the result of the last thread? Was it 5-5 tbh?


Im voting 8-2 losing @pistons and @ny

Simply not true, 10-8 over that span= .556 ball with Wemby limited in nearly every game (remember that 1 pt lose to Mem where Vic doesn't come back? how about the 1 pt lose to Minny?), DV out for 13 of those, and Barnes + Fox + Steph + Harp being incredibly cold.
Nothing wrong with 550 ball during the dog days with your star limited/coming off the bench and missing our main character and maybe best shooter.

I'll never understand the default to pessimism and negativity here. Like yeah, ok 1 more loss and we're 500 during that stretch, but like 2 more minutes from Wemby and we're 12-6 in that stretch w/o being able to hit a fucking shot.

TBD, 6-3 with the Thunder tonight...GSG!

 

[SpursBrazil]

6-4

 

[spursparker9]

when is the rodeo road trip?

 

[100%Duncan]

when is the rodeo road trip?

Felt like we did 2 already. Weird season

 

[100%Duncan]

TBD, 6-3 with the Thunder tonight...GSG!

Felt so much worse. 7-3 would be really good after all that

 

[Quentin_Compson]

Fuck it, 8-2!

 

[timtonymanu]

This has been the quickest 82 game season in a while. I guess it helps when you have a winning team lol.

 

[NASpurs]

Fuck it, 8-2!

My brother, you voted for 2-8

 

[poopbox]

really good idea for a thread. Statistically speaking 10 to 15 games is what you want to look at for how a team is expected to perform. Always irks me when someone is like but back in november they went 12 - 1. Who cares that was so long ago.

Hornets were terrible but now that they are healthy I don't care if I was the 1 seed I wouldn't want to see them in the playoffs in the east. There is not one team in the east that can beat this hornets team right now the way they are playing 4 out of 7 times.
