The team has a weird, albeit not incredibly difficult, schedule remaining. They play bad teams, teams we match up with terribly, and good teams dealing with injuries. IND is out West. MEM is out Gasol. LAL is out Artest, which is a huge blow to their wing depth. Multiple games versus the Suns and Kings. How do you see the team closing out the season? I see them going 8-4, losing both games left to Denver, losing to the Kings one more time, and losing this week to the Clippers. What do you guys & girls think?
Highly depends on how the rest of this week plays out. If we go 3-1 or 2-2 and win the last game of hell week we could probably carry that momentum on, this team is pretty streaky after all.

Respectable. Finish 7th in West. Play the Thunder in the 1st Round
I so badly want the Rockets to murder LA that last game effectively kicking them out of the playoffs.
My predictions... 8-4 Lose to Indy because they are defensive beasts and were still reeling from the game against spurs... Lose to clippers because its a back to back after a tough road game against Memphis... Lose to Denver because its the last of a 3 game road trip and a back to back game... Lose to Phoenix because it is a trap game worried about playoff positioning against la...
give your team some confident will you? But I just hope we win at least 7 the rest of the way to secure a playoff spot.
Last years's 6-game season-killing losing streak started with 9 games left. We are 3 more games away from that time.
