I could've thrown in a part where Jordan throws a max contract at Draymond Green but I didn't wanna make things too depressing
When I die, have Michael Jordan bury me so he can let me down one last time.

MJ/Kupcake discussion next offseason

Hmmm which 32 year old, injury prone, fringe all-star can we sign to a four year max deal.......

If we don't have enough cap space we can always stretch and waive Gordon Hayward over 10 years. He only played 30 games this season after all and he is expiring. His play seems to be declining too for some reason.....

Cliff is a good coach so I predict 38 wins without Miles and Hayward and close to the play in game. If Miles returns without Hayward I predict 2nd round playoff appearance. If Miles and Hayward are here with Melo I predict eastern finals lose to Celtics.

how many wins? 

Post#44 » by fatlever » Mon Jan 30, 2023 10:03 pm

how many more games will we win?

we are 15-36 as of Jan 30

31 games left

we have a lot of very winable games between now and mid-march

@ Det 2/3
v Orl 2/5
@ Was 2/8
v San 2/15
v Det 2/27
v Orl 3/3
@ Det 3/9
v Uta 3/11

*also games vs Chi, Atl, NYK, Min during this strtch

last 13 games are much tougher - 3 games vs Cle, 2 vs Dal, 2 vs Tor, Phi, Ind, Pels.
only decent matchups are Hou, OKC, Chi .

my best guess is we go 11-20 rest of season. finish with 26 wins.

It depends on how many players we trade. Or don't.

Can see anywhere between 22-32 wins total. Maybe more. Gonna be hard to not win at least 7-8 more games with that schedule.

Hopefully we win one less game than the second worst team lol. We are currently on pace to win 24 games.
If we sell Terry, Oubre and Plumlee at the deadline and we can get that down to about 20 wins. Unlikely though.

I'll go with 22 wins.
