Do the Dubs' have 15 wins left on the schedule?

[sanddude909]

15 more wins = a 50-32 regular season and probably the 7th or 8th spot in the West. Here are the wins i see as probable for GS based on their remaining schedule:

3/2, Portland (?)
3/4, at Atlanta (?)
3/5, at Charlotte
3/7, at Miami
3/8, at Orlando (?)
3/12, Toronto (?)
3/15, Memphis
3/18, at Sacramento
3/19, at LA Clippers
3/21, Houston
3/27, Portland (?)
3/30, Dallas (?)
4/4, at Memphis
4/8, Sacramento
4/10, Denver
4/12, LA Clippers
4/16, Seattle

That comes to 11 likely wins and 6 winnable games, of which we'd have to win 4.

One thing is for sure: this next 4 games in 5 days road trip is very important. If we go 1-3 or, heaven forbid, 0-4, we're going to have very little margin for error.

It's amazing how good of a remaining schedule they have. I only see 3 games where I think their chances of winning are quite low (Orlando, Dallas and Denver). Just about every other game seems to be winnable, that's why I say this 5 game stretch (including last night's win over Philly) is probably their most important sequence this season. If they can win the next four (which would be their best run so far this season), then they are really going to make a serious challenge. This should just about get them to Beans return.

It still pisses me off how this damn team lost to Minnesota and Atlanta.

[blackballerd18]

50 is going to be hard to do but they have much more of a chance to get it than a lot of other teams. Looking at their schedule it's a given that they should win at least 12 of those probable games. Meaning, they only have to win 3 extra ones which is not saying a lot because we will give and take a few games that they aren't suppose to win as well. I say YES they will do it. Not to mention Denver's schedule looks a little harder down the stretch,

Ah...What about this part?

Fri 21 vs Houston
Sun 23 @ LA Lakers
Mon 24 vs LA Lakers
Thu 27 vs Portland
Sat 29 @ Denver
Tue 01 @ San Antonio
Wed 02 @ Dallas
Fri 04 @ Memphis
Sun 06 @ New Orleans

IMO This is the key stretch. Back to back lakers! Back to back San Antonio/Dallas! Besides Memphis this looks pretty scary.

It's quite possible they drop 3 out of the 4 road games before Beans is back. But then when Beans is going strong and Brandan is getting minutes too, we are going to beat the crap out of everyone after that and get in anyway.

[BooRadley]

We're not gonna win every game we're "supposed" to win and we're not going to lose every game we're "supposed" to lose. We should get 15 wins out of the remaining schedule. We'll probably win in Denver, SA, Dallas or NO and then lose at home to Portland, Clippers or Seattle. It'll all even out to a remaining record of 15-10 I'm sure.

I was responding to the list that the original poster gave. I think the next 4 games are important in order for us to be able to even have a chance and to give us the momentum we will need to finish out the season. We need to get to the point (in a hurry) where we consistently beat the teams we are supposed to )and not have those more than occasional team lapses). No more stinkers and then maybe we can continue to get up for some of the tougher teams. Based on that list (not yours) I think we can do it. The only games that may not be winnable on your list is the Lakers and maybe Dallas. As for San Antonio and New Orleans, we've already shown that we can beat them.

If we can win the next 4 winnable games and do it somewhat convincingly (not by luck), then we've set ourselves up for the rest of the season and Beans return.

[Twinkie defense]

t's quite possible they drop 3 out of the 4 road games before Beans is back.

Floppy when did you become such a pessimist?

[djdamon]

I expect us to have 51 Wins

[Hopper15]

49 gets you in if you have the tiebreaker, otherwise they'll need 50

[djdamon]

I honestly think we can get to 51

[sportsfan38]

Luckily the Nuggets are struggling. Houston has been on fire so at this point I think the 8th seed is almost solely between the Warriors and Nugs.

9 probable wins

Assuming we win 4/7 of our winnable games and win 2/8 of our probable losses that gives us a 51 win season.

I would add at least three more winnable games, plus I think we can beat the Lakers at home

[floppymoose]

I'm worried that the Suns will be resting Shaq on our 2nd to last game. That could propel them to victory.

[GSWhoopfan]

i think we will beat every team over .500 and lose to every other team over .500.

i dont know if we are going to make the playoffs this season.

[nbenmargi]

This Charlotte loss just made it a lot harder.
