    We will beat the teams that we expect to lose to, and vice versa. That's our M.O.

    the thing about this team is, they really look like they can go 4-0

    and then sometimes they look like they will go 0-4

    2-2 i hope. For me it's about this 7 game home stand. finish 5-2 and that is pretty good over here. I'm more concerned with making sure we're in the 2nd season. Worry about match ups later.

    I think we go 1-3 or 0-4 tbh. Our PF situation is still very much up in the air and we've been fortunate to have played some terrible teams so far on this homestand. CF gonna get ugly this week.

    They all seem winnable at 50-50 odds. Clippers seemed impossible as second game of back to back, 3 games in 4 days... but we are their second game of back to back, 4 games in 5 days, and they have the Spurs just before us. Seems as winnable as any of the others.

    2-2

    Be lucky to win one. Likely at least 2 or 3 blowout losses.

    Actually, no. Check the team's record vs. top 5 teams in the West.

    First of all why would you quote my from a whole different thread?

    Lol.

    And I'm not saying I want to watch Blazers, Wolves, I personally want to see good games myself.

    I was making that comment cause there had been a thread where people were complaining that ABC only wanted to play marquee games, and then on a thread with the NBA schedule people were complaining that there were marquee games lol

    0 win : problematic but not end of the world
    1 win : about what you expect
    2 win : better than what you expect
    3 win : hell yeah, playoff ticket essentially punched
    4 win : F it, we're going to the 2nd round baby!

    1 or 2 wins. 2 is likely.

    Spurs: loss
    Pacers: win
    Grizzlies: loss
    Clippers: win (This is the toss up game. Hopefully we catch one of their bad games.)

    we match up better with the Grizz than the Clipper really, we can and did run the Grizz off the floor this season, but Clippers are essentially more athletic (or at least about as athletic) than us , Chris Paul just choose to not run his team like that.

    Still yeah, I think all 4 are winnable games to an extend, this team is essentially a Communist team, we are indifferent to opposing team's ability, which explains why we have about the same record against above .500 team as sub .500 teams.

    Those teams are all better than we are. I'm hoping we get at least one win. I think two wins would be fantastic. I can't even imagine us getting three wins.
