    NO WAY

    Half of those games will be without Yao and a very exhausted frontcourt of Deke and Juwan. When Yao comes back, expect an adjustment period as well and a little rust from Yao.

    23-9 is .720 ball

    I think they go 20-12 for 52 wins.

    Why are you putting the Clippers and Raptors with the Celtics and Blazers.
    Clippers and Raptors are playoff teams.

    We also play the Jazz twice, the Suns twice, Spurs, Nuggets, Lakers and a bunch of other teams that will be fighting tooth and nail to get into the playoffs.

    THe last team we play are the Jazz. Wouldn't it be interesting if that game was for homecourt advantage. The Jazz are actually 3rd right now tied with the Spurs, but they have won the tiebreaker so far.

    Don't underestimate Raptors, they are a really good team right now.

    57-25 as I predicted at the beginning of this season in the Official Prediction Thread.

    I think we can do it.

    Definitely possible if we get on a roll in March/April once Yao comes back.

    If you think we will go 26-6 the last 32 games, I have some stock to sell you. Optimism is fine but you may want to come back to planet Earth. :D

    The schedule is largely in our favor, should break 50 at least. Lottery looks remote, playoffs look promising. Ideal, Synder, Yao, and Wells are all healthy and in top form by April. The Rockets must get past the first round, that would be a milestone. Everything else is icing on the cake.

    most of the losses you predicted are outrageous! hornets? lakers? cavs? no way. if ur winning prediction is correct...then my prediction is correct...we go undefeated the rest of the way. no way we lose against the cavs.

    Well I couldn't really put wins for all of them, If I put Wins for all of them, I would be taking it a little too far, wouldnt I?
