    This is one of the easiest stretches of our season and thank god its at the end. We have

    Kings (home)
    Timberwolves (home) and Im going to the game :)
    Spurs (Away)
    Kings (Away)
    Blazers (Away)
    Sonics (Away)
    Clippers (Away)
    Sonics (home)
    Suns (home)
    Nuggets (Away)
    Jazz (Away)
    Clippers (Home)

    Im not the one to pick which ones we lose or win, but we will go 7-5 at worst.

    If we can get a high seed and play the 7th or 8th seed, we can defenitely get to the 2nd round!

    At least the schedule is not that brutal for us. Denver-Golden State run would be interesting. It would be also interesting to see how Mavs respond

    10-2 or 9-3, minimum 56 wins, not bad, and should have a chance to win the division.

    Here's my guess:

    W - 24 Mar Sacramento
    W - 26 Mar Minnesota
    W - 30 Mar @ San Antonio - 3 days to prepare for them (hopeful)
    L - 1 Apr @ Sacramento - back2back, on the road, and can we really expect our team to win ALL the games we're "supposed" to win?
    W - 3 Apr @ Portland
    W - 4 Apr @ Seattle
    W - 6 Apr @ LA Clippers
    W - 9 Apr Seattle
    W - 11 Apr Phoenix - revenge!
    L - 13 Apr @ Denver
    L - 14 Apr @ Utah
    W - 16 Apr LA Clippers

    the way things are at the moment i dont think you want any place higher than we are now, or any place lower than first. we either get utah as it stands now, or we can play golden state, whom i think we have the best chance of winning against. being 2 or 3 guarantees us a place with the spurs or dallas. unless dirk's injured i really don't want to go against them for 7 games.

    7-5 is not good enough in the West!

    9-3 is just balling.
    8-4 or BUST!!!

    At least finish 9-3 to guarantee top 5 seed.
