50 would be really nice and make a big statement to the league.
But realistic factor here is that 48/49/50 this year with the dogfight that has been the West is basically 55+ in any normal season. It looks like there will not even be a 60 game winner in the East and yet the quality of the teams drops of markedly after spot five.
Currently sitting at 45 wins.
The next 3 are Portland (2x) and SA. I never know how this team is going to do when the opposing teams rests all their players, but Portland isn't even trying anymore. We should absolutely handle all 3 of those games.
Leaves us with Pelicans, Mavs, Warriors, Nuggets.
Pelicans have been playing much better basketball. But that is a potential 1st round matchup. We are the better team, definitely winnable.
Mavericks not the same team they were last year. They lost twice recently to the Hornets. 3-7 in last 10. Also winnable.
GS in Golden One. Warriors suck on the road.
Denver last game of the season. They will likely have secured a top spot in the west by then.
Range of outcomes is anywhere from 48-52. I would love to hit 50 wins at least. Looking at the schedule, I think we win the next 3, and should at least split the last 4. Losing 3 or 4 of those games would be rough going into the playoffs on a downstreak.
(still proud of the team no matter what, and happy with this seasons outcome, but keep pushing!!!!!!!!)
