In my opinion that is the best we can do. If we finish 10-6 against that schedule this team will have turned the corner. That is a tough schedule and it will take a very consistent play to finish over .500 They will have to have the A game most every night.
my guess is 8-8, or 9-7 i would love to get 10-6 i also think for some reason that we will win the game against Suns.
We're on a roll, I refuse to concede the game vs. Phoenix. It's at home and the Suns are one of our biggest rivals. Let's D-UP and show those p*****s you can't win every game by simply outscoring your opponent! After this game it gets rough, 3 straight road games vs. the Lakers, Nuggets and Mavericks. If we could take 2/3 like you are suggesting, I would be happy with that since the Mavericks seem to own us. In my opinion, that stretch right there is the most difficult of this "dreaded" month.

.455 Some of those patsy teams are getting better, too. We might have to work to beat LA, NJ, Memphis, Indy, NY. I'd expect to lose both Orlando games.
I think we can beat the Heat or Kings. So 11-5. I think the Magic will really try as hard as they can against us so yeah they might win. 12-4 would be great.

Feigen predicted 7-9. He is usually pretty close. This season, to date, the actual record is -4 (two unpredicted losses in both November and December)
In November, NY and ATL. In December both the Bobcat losses. I am sure he didnt predict those. Although I felt we got a "bonus" win in December with the SA game. But that makes up for probably losing in Milwaukee. For January, I think 7-9 is probably about right. 8-8, 7-9, somewhere around there.
I'd go 8-8, MAYBE 9-7 if this chemistry holds up. Worst case, IMO, will end up at 7-9, but I think we can do better. Tough month.
DD, I was going to mention 16-0, but then I remebered we traded Nachbar. So forget going undefeated for the month!
So you predict that we will beat Orlando in their house and they will turnaround and beat us here in Houston 4 days later? I hope you know that Houston is a not so good road team and Orlando is likely even worse on the road?
One maybe, but I don't see us losing both. TMac is going to want to embarrass the hell out of Orlando. I expect him to play completely out of his mind both times.
Just pointing out the obvious but actually, you DO win every game you outscore your opponents. I think it was Pat Riley who once said you may win 75% of the time you outrebound your opponent, but you win 100% of the time you outscore your opponent.
