January 11 Over/Under Win Total

I see the Wolves having a 5 win January to go with 9 losses. I would be happy with 6 or more.

1-0 so far 1/1/11

Realistic scenerio:

Nets - W
Celtics - No KG, No Rondo ..I see a W
Bobcats - W
Blazers - L
Spurs- - L
Spurs again - L
Wizards - W (They are horrible on the road)
Magic - L (All of their players are upgrades over ours except 3/4)
Blazers - W (We'll get one of the Portland games, I think we'll get this away game)
Rockets - W (Payback, No Yao either to kill us in the 1st quarter again)
Thunder - L
Jazz - L
Raptors - W

I can see us winning 7 games out of 13 games, maybe more if we blow out SAS again and they don't come back

Well 1-0. That was like the game that was the most winnable this month, though.

I'm kinda shocked by the fact that those Nets won 9 games so far this season.

We couldn't beat the Nuggets when they had 4 of their best out, so I wouldn't be penciling in the Boston game as a win. But I do think they're starting to put it together and will surprise a few play-off teams. I'd say around 6-7 wins.

only 1 back to back at the end of the month which is pretty incredible

I don't know how, but we're going 15 - 0.

I kinda hope we can pull of a month like we did 2 years ago without the injury.

This. Considering that 6 game road trip had only back-to-backs, getting rests in between will make a huge difference. That and plenty of home games against teams that suck or don't have a good point guard to torch us.

I optimistically see 8-9 wins.

Where W=should win, W=should be possible to win, and w=might in a dream possibly win:

Sat 01 vs New Jersey W
Mon 03 @ Boston w
Wed 05 vs Charlotte W
Fri 07 vs Portland w
Sun 09 @ San Antonio w
Tue 11 vs San Antonio L
Thu 13 vs Washington W
Sat 15 vs Orlando L
Mon 17 @ Portland w
Wed 19 @ LA Clippers W
Mon 24 vs Houston w
Wed 26 vs Oklahoma City L
Fri 28 @ Utah w
Sat 29 vs Toronto W

So 11 would be pretty great. :wink:

god dam it, rondo is back

It's what, 14 games? I think realistically, for this team, if we could split that down the middle it would be a success.

Sat 01 vs New Jersey W
Mon 03 @ Boston W - Will be tough, but no Rondo/KG is doable
Wed 05 vs Charlotte W - Again, will be tough with their new coaching staff, but doable
Fri 07 vs Portland W - Home game advantage
Sun 09 @ San Antonio L
Tue 11 vs San Antonio L
Thu 13 vs Washington W - They suck hard
Sat 15 vs Orlando L
Mon 17 @ Portland L
Wed 19 @ LA Clippers L - A lot of people said win here. I don't see it. They handed us our cheeks last game and we only beat them on a buzzer beater by Beasley the 1st time round.
Mon 24 vs Houston W - No Yao and Brooks
Wed 26 vs Oklahoma City L
Fri 28 @ Utah L
Sat 29 vs Toronto W

Some of those are 50-50, like the Boston and Charlotte games, but there's also some chances to steal wins against San Antonio and Oklahoma at the Target Center.
