    I think it will be a 52 win season, pretty much the same as two years ago.

    I would be cool if Rockets were seeded second and they'd face Blazers, Nuggets or Hornets that way and pretty much avoid Spurs and Jazz.

    Wins v. Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, Golden State, NO, and Dallas likely
    The only game I think we're granted to lose is at LAL

    Orlando is up for grabs

    7-1 - only loss to Lakers.

    55-27 - same record as last year....and I would not be surprised if the team went 8-0 and beat those Lakers...we are due against them.

    I'll take a 6-2 at out best and hopefully a 5-3 at worst. Road games against Portland, Orlando and Dallas will be up in the air but the Golden State and Sacramento are must wins. It's to late in the season to lose to teams under .500.

    Last night I wanted to start a thread with predictions of every team ending record, so I took a glance at every team games left. Looking at the schedule I think we will win 53. This is how I see the seedings

    (1)LA 66wins vs (8)Dallas 49 wins
    (4)Hou 53wins vs (5)Portland 53wins

    (2)SA 56wins vs (7)NO 50wins
    (3)Den 54wins vs (6)Uta 52wins

    I would love for them to go 7-1 but Im thinking closer to 6-2 to finish it out. Although this 1 game in 7 days is should definitly rejuvenate the team

    I hate predicting, it seems to always backfire...i just hope we end up with the 2 or 3 seed and not face Utah...IN THE FIRST ROUND

    Wed 01 @ Phoenix W
    We'll win if we play some defense and not try to out scored the Suns.
    Fri 03 @ LA Lakers L
    Yeah, we would need someone to beast in this game like Skip did last year to win.
    Sun 05 vs Portland W
    Homecourt vs the Blazers, revenge time
    Tue 07 vs Orlando W
    Yao eats Dwight's cookie every time
    Thu 09 @ Sacramento W
    You have the worst record in the league, please don't let the Wizards catch you.
    Fri 10 @ Golden State W
    Need tanking even more.
    Mon 13 vs New Orleans W
    Tough game but we will pull through.
    Wed 15 @ Dallas W
    I have a feeling that this game won't matter after the Suns gives up. Mavs won't catch the Hornets, Nuggets, Blazers, and god forbid us!

    I'm going to be a debbie downer and say 4-4. Maybe 5-3. We've overachieved the past 7 weeks (17-5, 0.773 pace) and are facing a really rough run to finish things off.

    I just hope things shake out well for us in the seedings. My kingdom for Portland or Denver instead of NOH or Utah.
