I think we'll play between 10-6 & 7-9.

Why the differential - because the question we have to see is if good teams have learned to exploit our lack of size.

There are different trends going on here.

The positives have been
-scrappiness
-offensive rebounding
-good ball movement

The negatives have been
-poor defensive efforts of late
-difficulty finishing against taller opponents
-poor outside shooting


If teams are able to adjust to the positives through scouting (as they have been able to neutralize to some degree Brooks and Lowry) then we're more likely to finish 7-9

But if we are able to step up our D or improve our 3 point shooting (is it just a slump or a factor related to fatigue and being "scrappy") than expect 10-6

So far - I think things will stay the same and we''l end up 8-8.

 

9-7...

This month seems easier than last month, there are 7 games out of 16 that seem like they would be tough (cavs x2, mavs x 2, magic, blazers, nuggets)

 

My prediction goes 10-7, well a bit optimistic but honestly speaking, we're capable of doing anything if we're rolling hot.

8-8 for December.

 

Sorry for my miscalculation there, prediction goes 9 - 7.

 

10-6 gerrr, i REALLY wanna see at least once, KICK the MAVs ass to the sky

 

is it just me but does it alway seem like we are playing primarily really good teams? we may have a stretch of 2 weak teams but the next 5 or somethign are teams like dallas, cavs, lakers, etc...
