I've actually adjusted the Boston game to a win in my current projection. But I think 5 straight losses there is definitely a very real possibility.
Oh sure it’s possible; I just did a simple “win against teams with worse records” adjustment.
 
1/2 game ahead of the Pelicans.
 
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.

You're projecting the Pelicans to win in San Antonio?
 
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.
 
Laker still a long shot for playoffs if they can beat Denver tonight.
 
Unbelievable run. Our crowd needs to show up for these games. Pathetic effort on their part, but amazing effort by the team
 
we are 2.5 games ahead of Spurs to keep HCA right now. Amazing.
 
OKC be in trouble. Clips winning tonight and playing Magic tomorrow. Clips could go to 36-29 while an OKC loss to Spurs would put them at 38-30. Yikes.
 
We can go on 12-0 easy with next 3 home games.
 
Minnesota in trouble too. Jazz go 37-30 with a win over Pelicans almost for sure if AD doesn't play. And Timberwolves lose to Warriors; Wolves would only be 38-30.
 
Jazz are so much better with a healthy Gobert. That team has been crushed by injuries in the last few years. I think they get in.
