Actually they could lose a lot of games and still be champions.... you know what, it sure seems like we have a super high chance of being champions.
Realistically, we should go 4-0 or 3-1 to finish out February (vs MIA, @ NOP, vs MIN, vs IND) And our April (on paper) should be a cake walk, only tough game is @ LAC on a B2B. We should go 5-1 in April. So I'm thinking 48-19 not including March, which might be the most difficult month of the year. 15 games, 11 versus current playoff teams, 2 versus GSW, @ SAS, vs. CLE. If we just go 8-7, we would end the year at 56 wins.
56 wins is my expectation too. I'd love for them to finally win 60, but that would require a 20-5 finish which is virtually impossible given the March schedule. 56 wins should get them the 3rd seed(the Jazz ain't finishing the season 22-5).
