All is well, huh? I mean... that is like a 50 win season!
Plus, we are 2-0 in the last 2 games -- that is like an 82 win season!
Then again, we are 5-5 in our last 10 games. But, so what, right?
It's true. There are really only a few minor problems, probably not worthy of attention:
1. We've played 10 games against teams with winning records. We are 2-8 in those 10 games.
2. The Heat, Knicks, Nets & Cavs are a combined 30-65. Against those teams we are 5-2. Against the rest of the league we are 5-12.
3. In our 24 games so far, we are down 5 points a game to our opponents. Keep in mind that only 24 of the 30 NBA teams are better than that.
Our ten wins so far:
At home, we beat the Knicks, Nets, Cavaliers, Magic, Pelicans (without Anthony Davis), Rockets (without a bench), & Clippers.
On the road, we beat Portland (by a point), the Heat (they're 5-8 at home), & the Knicks last night.
Things are looking good!
My big picture: 10-14 today and all they need is to go 40-18 to finish with 50 wins.
