Again, so brave. :lol:


Front running fans are the worst, same dude said Masai is dead to him after we started tanking. :lol:

Hilarious. Not surprised though, maybe we should revive that thread? Naw that’s clown behaviour.

Yah, I'll own that. It was over the top on my part, too angry. But I've been here since day 1 of the franchise, through Grunwald, Thomas, Babcock, Colangelo, Darrel Walker, Butch Carter, Lenny, Kevin, Smitch, Oliver Miller, Loren Woods, Yogi Stewart, Hoffa, Michael Bradley, Roko Ukic and having to listen to Leo butcher Slavic languages, so save "front running" for those that don't know those times.
Everybody is losing their freaking minds. Nutbars and wingnuts have infested this forum. We've become a public lavatory without cleaning staff.

ruckus wrote:I did a manual calculation and I got to 37 wins on the nose. The majority of the b2b's are brutal on the back end. They have 13 back to backs. They play MIL, BKN and ATL twice each on the tail ends of back to backs. Brutal. They also get Dallas, Denver, Philly on the tail end of back 2 backs. Theres like 10 or so baked in losses right there.

Through the 1st quarter of the season, I see them at just under .500 with 8 or so wins. By the midway point, I see them at just over .500 with 22 or so wins.

The 2nd half of the season is brutal though with more than half of the games on the road where they'll pick up just 15 wins to get them to 37 in total. From Jan 14 to Mar 21, they play 23 of their 31 games on the road. This is where they'll make or break the season. If they do well over this stretch, they'll get the over. However, at this point, I only see them pulling out 8-9 wins from those 31 games.

That 37 o/u is a lot tighter now that I've seen the actual schedule.



Raps playing quite a bit better than I thought they would early on. I had them at 8 wins in the first 16 and so far, they're at 6-3 with the next 6 games pretty winnable. The chemistry is looking pretty good and they're playing well on the road so we'll see how the road-heavy 2nd half of the season unfolds. Also, due to the depth of the team, I think they might surprise a few teams on those 2nd nights of back-to-backs
