Our record the rest of the way?

[B-Roy]

I hate to start a thread like this but I'm going to do it anyways.

28 games left.
12 on the road.
16 at home.
18 against teams over .500
10 against teams under .500
10 of the 18 against teams over .500 are at home, 8 on the road.
6 of the 10 against teams under .500 are at home, 4 on the road.
There's games on the road against Orlando, Miami, San Antonio, Los Angeles and OKC.
We need to go 20-8 to end up with the same record as last year.

What say ye?!

 

[mgb]

21-7

 

[THE HCP]

15-13

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

18 wins
10 losses

and 7th seed, playing the Lakers in round 1

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

...and when we beat the Lakers, we may very well play SA for the wcc!

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

16-12

[KingSpeed]

20-8

 

[Klinky]

I am going to go 19-9.

 

[Rhal]

i'm thinking 18-10

 

[illmatic99]

I can be happy with 16-12. Those 18 games vs. +.500 teams is killer. If we win half of those, and 7 out of 10 vs. the <.500 teams, that would be awesome.

Need to figure out something to get better success in the playoffs, though.

 

[Mediocre Man]

9-19. I just can't help but think that LA is going to hit a wall at some point, and I think reintroducing Brandon is going to create some struggles in our now fluid offense. I also think (hope) that the Blazers do something at the dealine, and that might cause our record to worsen a bit this season, in order to get better for next and beyond.

I would be really happy with 12-16

 

[Blazinaway]

16-12

 

[PtldPlatypus]

15-13. And this is assuming a 6-game losing streak starting 3/25 v San Antonio. Puts us at 45-37. I can live with that.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

17-11
I think (HOPE!) that Roy will provide a huge boost and fit in perfectly with a different role then he's had previously.

 

[maxiep]

Going through the schedule, I came up with 15-13.

 

[hasoos]

Going through the schedule, I came up with 15-13.

Yep I am with you on that.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I have no idea. I guess it depends on how effective Camby is coming back and whether or not Brandon coming back helps or hurts.

I'll say 13-15

 

[Dirty_F_Baby]

ive got it as 19-9. hopefully enough to get in, then upsetting the poor team that LaBeast Mode dominates in the playoffs (i'm looking at you san antonio)

 

[MIXUM]

how many wins will it take to MAKE the playoffs? Its looking like at least 47 now. at least.

 

[jlprk]

Depends on trades and injuries. Wait 10 days till the trade deadline. Then it'll depend only on injuries.

Not a bad start. 11-5 so far. Man, this next stretch is gonna be a bitch. 6-5 would be decent in my mind. Taking care of home court will be crucial.

 

[illmatic99]

Last year after 71 games, we were 42-29. So only 1 game off that record.

I don't see the remaining schedule as being all that challenging. Spurs without Duncan, an OKC team that could barely hang with us pre-Wallace trade, a Dallas team we already defeated, a Hornets team that is not as good as us, etc etc. I could see the Lakers beating us and maybe the Warriors could beat us in GS, maybe the Grizz too, but that's about it. I'm thinking we close the season 9-2. Honestly.

 

[mgb]

Well we would have to finish 10-1 to make it to my prediction of 51 wins which I think unlikely. I feel 8-3 from here on out.

We're 11-6 by my count in the games we've played. I thought we'd go 15-13, which means we'd go 4-7 for the rest of the season. By my modified count, I think we finish the season 7-4, which would turn my 15-13 into 18-10.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Im thinking 18-10 as well....

7-4 the rest of the way

 

[PapaG]

If the Blazers go 6-5, Houston needs to go 10-1 to tie, and PHX needs to go undefeated.

 

[Eastoff]

So what are the 4 or 5 losses you guys are expecting? Lakers? OKC? Dallas? Spurs? @ OKC, @ SA, @ Utah and one more at random?

@ SA, @ OKC, @ UTA, @ GSW

And a loss either @ NOH or vs LAL.
