    Most agree with Samfish, Rox are a lock against lower talent teams this is the most consistent team in the NBA.

    Only threats are Grizz and Taps who have bad matchups against us (but get destroyed by other teams

    raptors are def in the same teir as rockets. griz, okc and clips aren't anything to take lightly, esp if clippers have blake.

    The Rockets will not lose a game during the next several weeks. This is how contenders are born. And it is known.

    This isn't a jinx thread, it's an ignorant thread.

    There needs to be a unlike button. There are at least 4 good teams in that stretch.

    the way how injuries have treated us and the way harden is turning the ball over every game is against formidable peers for us.

    The upmost post on this page is worth listening to.

    Even against easy teams, we should be hitting a mental wall some time. Gordon already looks like he's trending downwards.

    On a positive note, I'm proud of how these guys have played without Clint and it looks like we will be totally fine without adding an extra big man for now. Gives Morey time till the deadline to consider deals without it necessarily being about big men.

    Thunder because of Westbrook
    Grizzlies because they've beaten us before
    Raptors because they're one of the better teams in the East.

    ...and the Clippers might not have Paul and Griffin in that game.

    Kill this thread, please.

    Not a formidable peer. Westbrook is a turnover machine who is more concerned with inflating his statistical milestones and his ongoing catfight with Kevin Durant than winning. Pass.

    Not a formidable peer. They are too boring to merit further comment.

    Not a formidable peer. Better teams in the East - which is not a peer conference.

    Ergo, not formidable peers.

    Not saying we can't go undefeated until 1/20, but I don't think it's unrealistic to say that we'll lose one game in that stretch. The only teams who can look at any part of their schedule and say we won't lose a single game, is the Warriors. And to a lesser extent, the Cavs.
