Of course we won't win every one of them, but I look at all, but Boston as more likely a win than a loss. I'll go with 12-4 would be satisfactory anything less disappointing.
You would be disappointed if we went 11-5 in this? It is 16 games vs Playoff Caliber teams.
I get it, we are good, we are currently #1 in the West, but c'mon man. 10-6 during this stretch puts us at 27-11, well ahead of Phil Jackson's "40-20 is the minimum to be a title contender" record.
2023 Denver: 42-18
2022 GSW: 43-17
I have high expectations. I won't consider 11-5 a disaster, but it's less than what I'm hoping for.
Sure, I hope we go 16-0. I would also be content with 10-6. If we went 9-7 or 8-8 I would really need to identify what the issue was in that, but it likely isn't a major red flag.
If we go < .500, I may need to re-gauge the ceiling of this team, or at least the realistic outcome moves from WCF/NBA Finals to 1st/2nd round playoff team.
