40-11 at the break.. How do you see us finishing now? Looking at this schedule I see a 23-8 finish. Hopefully better, but 63 wins would be a heck of a year.

So the Cavs are going to finish out 15 and 16? Orlando fans are so pathetic. Anything less that 60 wins is a severe disappointment.

I would also guess 63 wins as currently constructed...

However, if Sasha and West make "complete" returns (100%), and Wallace holds up, and "Z" starts playing like he was... I could see the Cavs winning 66-67 games.

Even with West injured, and Sasha out, and Z & Wallace not playing 100%, I don't see the Cavaliers doing any worse than 60-22

I think 63 is about right, and with a couple bounces...65.

Well, we usually go on a slump after the all star break but let's hope that can change.. Anything less than 60 wins would be a disappointment. We still have 31 games to go: 17 games are at home, 14 are on the road.. And by looking at the schedule we have left, the only teams that would give us a challenge are San Antonio and Boston.. The other games are very winnable. We only have 11 losses, so winning 20 games of 31 after the all star break is very attainable.

I think we will definitely reach at least 60 wins.

orlando fans are some of the better fans on this site, joshman just does his best to try and ruin their reputation

Something between 60-66 wins.

You guys should get at least 60 easy. I'm just hoping the Magic get to 50.

Post #12 » by **TheOUTLAW** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 5:26 pm

While I think that the Magic are going to miss their PG, I just don't see them falling off that much. I think 55 is a possibility for them.

Edit- I am going to factor in another loss or two if MB decides to rest LBJ before the playoffs. Making it 65 wins.

We will get at least 8 losses. Though I might change that opinion if Ferry makes a trade to shore up the front line.

What sucks is that to get home court over the Lakers, we might need 65+ wins, maybe even around 67.

Unless they go on a slump they will be difficult to catch because they got the tie-breaker over us.

I do think we can get by BOS for the #1 seed in the East though

witnessmoboobie · Post #15 » by **witnessmoboobie** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 10:57 pm

If we win our two games against Boston I think it is ours to lose.

LoveThemCavs · Post #16 » by **LoveThemCavs** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 5:27 am

I was looking at the Orlando and Boston schedules just to compare. Don't sleep on Orlando here. They have the easiest schedule remaining IMO. Even without Nelson, they are very much in the HCA race.

witnessmoboobie · Post #17 » by **witnessmoboobie** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 1:00 am

Agree but I don't think they can get through the East (through Cleveland and Boston) without him.
