Analysis The next 10 games

[LeBowen]

Why are there only 9 games on the list?
Because we'll have another game between Lakers and Wizards, whether it be Cup semi-final or just a regular game that will be inserted if we get eliminated.
And obviously we could also have the Cup final, but that one doesn't count for the regular season record.

I'll say 6-4 with Wizards x2, Hawks and Pelican wins.
We win one of Magic/Cavs/OKC and either the Lakers or the inserted regular season game.

6-4 but this team always surprises me. They’ve been winning their games against the lottery level teams so far but there could always be a trap game and they could surprise us with splitting the OKC games.

 

[couchman]

A lot depends on when Wemby and Castle return and how well they integrate with what Fox has been doing.

Likely wins:
Washington x2
New Orleans

Tossup games:
Orlando
Cleveland
Atlanta

Tough games:
LA
OKC x2

Plus the extra game

I’ll say 6-4

I'm going 6-4 again

 

[Fireball]

4-6 [expecting neither Wemby nor Castle to return soon]

Only wins against Washington and New Orleans plus one extra from the tossup games against Cleveland and Atlanta. Orlando is not tossup game. That is a scheduled loss if I ever saw one.

Losing three times to OKC if we somehow beat the Lakers will be no fun at all.

 

[Guru of Nothing]

Is there a cupologist who can help me out. If we beat the Lakers and advance to Vegas, we play OKC on the 13th, right? ... Ha, I ASSUMED OKC will beat Phoenix. Would this cause any adjustments to be made to the schedule, namely counting the game on the 13th as one of 82 and wiping one of the previously scheduled 25/26 matchups against OKC? Or really what I'm wanting to know, if we beat the Lakers next week, might we then get OKC three times over a thirteen day span? If we do, I'm here for it.

 

[rascal]

Losing streak incoming. Assuming Wemby is not back 3-7, only wins against Wash and Atlanta. Flukey win at Denver and a soft schedule has led to too much optimism.

Spurs are a .500 team without Wemby.

 

[SpursBrazil]

5-5

 

[BatManu20]

5-5. Would love 6-4 though, but also wouldn't be surprised with 4-6 tbh. Will be a tough road stretch.

 

[makow]

I will go with 5-5 too.

Most of this stretch is on the road, which isn't our strong suit. Wemby and Castle won't be there for the first 3 at least, and after that they'll have to get back into rhythm while travelling. Plus 2 (perhaps 3!) games vs OKC.

 

[Mugen]

5-5 as it sounds like Castle/Wemby aren't as close to returning as we'd need tbh.

 

[scott]

I'm choosing optimism in my 6-4 guess...

Edit: meant to hit the 10-0 button tbqh

 

[brazil]

If we are without Victor and Castle most of this stretch I go 4-6 tbh...

If Victor is back for instance against was I can see us steal one against OKC

[Lefty20]

4-1 at the half way mark. Not too shabby.

We will likely finish 7-3. Because 8-2 would mean we gotta split the OKC games and beat the Hawks on the road. For some reason I don't see both of things happening.
