Same, if we play well. I think 9-11 on the high side, 6-14 on the low

7-13. We better go 3-0 vs ORL, WAS, BRK leading up to this, and 3-0 vs DET, CLE, and ORL after this, otherwise we're in trouble.

I think we still make the playoffs but yikes

Mediocre teams more often than not defeat rebuilding cellar dweller teams while they are overwhelmingly handily beaten by playoff teams with winning records.

Since we're the quintessential mediocre team and most of the clubs on that schedule lineup are winning teams, we're probably looking at 6-7 wins tops.

We're real bigshots sitting atop of the mighty southeast division.

Hopefully we eek out 2 wins and luck into 2 others.

So I'll say 4-16.

Probably 6 or 7 wins at best....only hope for more is if the young guys step up. I don't have much hope with the vets. Gasol may have added 1 or 2 more wins.

I would say 8-12. This season has followed the same pattern: always close to the 50%, WTF losses against teams like Cavs, Knicks or Mavs and then a WTF win. This is way more difficult than in previous months, but I still trust our hopes of Playoffs.

True, but I do not see more than two games out of the next twenty where Charlotte might actually be favored. One would be against Miami and their stellar coach, Erik Spoelstra, the other against Washington. Also consider that several of the home games are against top teams in the West.

Bro, normally I'd be totally on board with being optimistic. In fact, at the beginning of the season, I predicted we'd be near the top of the East this year.

I just don't think Coach Borrego has any strategy to get this team beating superior competition. I just see the same thing being thrown at the wall and we are just rolling with the flow instead of timing our punches.
