The race for Home Court Advantage

[KingSpeed]

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.

Absolutely not. Not with Dame as leader.

Oh sure it’s possible; I just did a simple “win against teams with worse records” adjustment.

 

[KingSpeed]

Denver's winning streak continuing as predicted.

 

[Denny Crane]

1/2 game ahead of the Pelicans.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Denver's winning streak continuing as predicted.

Hey, I conceded that I was wrong. What more do you want?

 

[KingSpeed]

Hey, I conceded that I was wrong. What more do you want?

Okay. There's just no way to predict what happens in this league.

 

[crandc]

Celtics beat Timberwolves tonight. Warriors leading Spurs.

 

[BonesJones]

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.

HCP makes a lot of predictions as well.

 

[BonesJones]

HCP makes a lot of predictions as well.

Don't go at HCP that way!

 

[rotary111]

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!!

 

[BonesJones]

If the Spurs win... fuck.

 

[TBpup]

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.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Pelicans: 38-26, next 6 - @ Kings(W), vs Wizards, vs Jazz, vs Hornets, @ Spurs, vs Rockets. Easy stretch...projected 5-1

You're projecting the Pelicans to win in San Antonio?

 

[H.C.]

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.

 

[TBpup]

You're projecting the Pelicans to win in San Antonio?

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.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

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.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Don't go at HCP that way!

How dare you blast him. you are no longer VIP status... go join your posse... FAMS!!!!

 

[H.C.]

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.

 

[KingSpeed]

Laker still a long shot for playoffs if they can beat Denver tonight.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Is @HCP now 0-3 on his latest predictions? Keep picking against us FAMS!

 

[TBpup]

Pelicans lost a game they had been favored to win and Blazers won a game they had been favored to lose. BIG time swing in the gap.

 

[illmatic99]

Unbelievable run. Our crowd needs to show up for these games. Pathetic effort on their part, but amazing effort by the team

 

[KingSpeed]

we are 2.5 games ahead of Spurs to keep HCA right now. Amazing.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[KingSpeed]

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.

 

[KingSpeed]

I love it

 

[Lukee]

We can go on 12-0 easy with next 3 home games.

 

[KingSpeed]

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.

 

[TBpup]

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.
