What will the Clippers' record be after 10 games? 

Post#1 » by GuyverX » Sun Nov 2, 2008 5:46 am

Okay, so we're off to a 0-3 start. At first with Baron playing and the Nuggets without Carmelo and the Jazz without Deron Williams, one would assume our first win could possibly against either of those teams...but of course that was before the big fall.

I'm looking at the schedule...it's an absolute nightmare. A lot of the games are at home but every team we play for the first 2 1/2 weeks is against a 50+ win playoff team last season. Somebody really hates this team the way they scheduled this. The Warriors get to play New Jersey and we play Utah @ Utah.

So when will our first win be? Realistically, you look at the list of upcoming games and you say Sacramento at home but...that would put us 1-7. Golden State is winnable if Baron and Camby are both back by then. We could very well be 2-8 after 10 games or worse.

Our upcoming schedule :o :

vs Utah
@ Lakers
vs Houston
vs Dallas
vs Sacramento
vs Golden State
vs San Antonio

Sacto and GS are winnable games IMO.

It all depends on who we have out on the court. I'm confident that we can play .500 ball (at least) if all our guys are healthy. Its not looking so good so far, so I put in a vote for 2-8.

However, if Dun SR gives Kaman, Hart and Ricky D major minutes in all 7 gms we're screwed. :thinking:

It all depends on who's healthy for us. I would normally say our opponents' health as well, but we see how that turned out. Supposedly Camby will be ready to play Monday. He's missed nearly a month of action, so he'll have to get back into regular form. Davis is projected to be out 3 or 4 days, but there will be more info on Davis tomorrow. If they both returned Monday I'd say 4-6. If not, I'd say 3-7.

I'll say 3-7, but obviously I want us to to much better than that. Like everyone has said before it depends on the health of our team.

if camby is playing and kaman decides to show up, there is no reason for the clips to lose to the kings. other than that, i don't see any wins. the warriors are playing good ball, getting two tough losses down the wire against the hornets and raptors.

Unless Baron Davis returns sooner than expected, I think 1-9 is a reasonably good pick. The Warriors are playing pretty good ball, particularly Beidrins and Maggette. The Warriors are also not playing a back to back road game when they play the Clippers. The Clipper might have a shot at the Mavericks in addition to the Kings, but the other teams look too tough right now.

I don't care who we're playing, I think every game is a winnable game. We'll start each game tied at 0-0 and play ball for 48 mins, that's all it takes to set up a win. The biggest variable is the overall health of the team. With a healthy Baron, I know we will be competitive, and hopefully adding Camby to the mix will make us downright beasty. I'm an optimist, though.

I voted 5-5. I'm a bit optimistic that we go 5-2 the next 7 games. I agree with JJ LoDuca, that each game is winnable. Houston and Lakers are the two games I think we're going to lose, because of defensive matchups that we can't do crap about.

1-9 and completely out of playoff contention before one-eighth of the season is even completed. Injuries or no injuries, this team is a complete disgrace. I wont even waste keystrokes on Dunleavy and Kaman. As for Thomas, one play in the Jazz game summarizes this dog's career. Drive to the basket by TT, ball swatted back in his face, stops playing to bitch to the ref about a a perceived noncall, dog it back on D, TT's man dunks at the other end. Dunleavy's response? Well, there wasn't one. TT stays in the game to stink the joint up even more. How long do you think Jax would put up with that crap. This team is joke and doesn't deserve our support. I see 28 wins tops (and possibly worse). Have a fun season watching this crap.

3-7. We'll win our last 3 when Camby and baron are back and healthy.

The real question is, What will the Clippers' record be after 10 games with a healthy Baron and camby?

Tony Parker out for 2 weeks with an injury. It's looking even better for us against that SA game.

Thanks, I really hope that we get some wins soon. Lucky for us the upcoming schedule is looking easier and we seem to be playing better every game.
