how many more games do we win? 

Post#1 » by DCintheD » Thu Feb 7, 2013 3:16 am

that march schedule looks brutal... I think we only win 10 more and finish 28-54... hopefully good enough for 5-6th worst.... unlike the past 3 years I'm actually rooting to win games but dont care if we lose

I think losing tayshaun is gonna "help"

I hope we suck bad enough to get a top 5 pick. That seems to be the front office's plan.

We are probably stuck in the 10th spot or so. I can't believe we are yet again hoping for a good lottery pick this year.

Not a lot. Having to make such a big adjustment has thrown them off more than usual I think. Tayshaun, like him or not, was team captain. And they have to adjust to having a ball-dominant, pass first PG in Jose and now have to deal with not having arguably their best/second best player on the floor due to injury.

I think we win about 10-12 more games and finish with the 7th-9th worst record in the league.

Not enough to get into the playoffs.

Certainly not the playoffs. If we can drop down to the 6-9 slots, it starts to increase our odds on the ping pong balls. A top 3 pick would do wonders for us, getting a real scorer.

I really want Shabazz from this draft. We need to lose a lot more games for that to be even a remote possibility. Its possible we trade guys like Maxiell, Bynum, Stuckey, and/or Jerebko before the deadline this season for youngsters or picks. If that happens, we could get worse for this season.

I say we end the season with 30 wins.

well we have 14 home games left, as long as Dre doesnt miss any significant time I figure we'll continue playing .500 ball at home, so thats 7 wins. I think we have about 10 winnable road games left i'll say we go 5-5 in those games, we'll end up with about 12 more wins.

I think Torontos going to pass us and I think New Orleans and Minny have a pretty good chance to pass us too, if Nene stays on the court Washington has a shot at finishing strong as well. hopefully Phoenix and Sac get hot but thats doubtful. my prediction is that it comes down to a coin flip with us and Sacramento for the 6th or 7th pick.
which may end up deciding whether or not we get Porter.

10-12 more games win is the most we could hope IMO.

I think we'll be bad enough to get the 6th pick. I think we'll have a better record than CHA, ORL, CLE, NO, and SAC.

i think we will make an annoying ass run to end the season placing us too low to make the playoffs and too high to get a good lottery pick
