Lakers
@Rockets
@Rockets
Spurs
Hornets

We should be able to get at least 4 of those, right?

I am thinking the blender should be rocking on Tuesday

We gotta go 5-0

Beat em all. Show no mercy. Sling that ball around the court like prime GS. That’s when we play our best

We really need to beat the Lakers tomorrow. The Rockets and Spurs will beat themselves. Hornets are then the final piece. Going 5-0 is critical. Anything less and we are fricked.

This next 5 game stretch is pretty much the season. Have to pile up the wins against the bad teams.

HAVE TO go 4-1.

And we need to beat the Lakers. Bet we’ll loose one of the bunnies.

This game Tuesday is huge. Win this and get some momentum/confidence going into these easy games. Think if we loose Tuesday we might drop one of the next 4 and end up 3-2

The Lakers game is huge not only for the current standings but to even the season series with them in case of a tiebreaker.

Pretty much need to go 5-0.

If you go 4-1, Lakers has to be a win and the loss needs to be to Hornets bc of Conference.

Anything else is…not ideal.

Yep. At this point, you have to keep tiebreakers in mind much more than in most seasons.

Remember when we were #1 in the West for that day?

Best moments in franchise history:

"#1 in the West for that 1 day"

Since the Dallas game ..we absolutely had to go 6-2 at worst.

Gotta win tomorrow night, much like last years run in to the play in. That game is huge and will deflate the Lakers massively and build huge momentum to us.

BI has to play and should be…

If we handled OKC then 4-1 would be OK. These are games this team is suppose to win, so expecting 5-0 is not unreasonable.

4-1 minimum, yes


After those next 5 we have a 4 game road trip against LAC/GS/POR/DEN. I'm elated if we just get 2 games there, so going anything other than at least 4-1 on the easy stretch would be huge.

It's huge that we have four remaining games against the teams that are obviously tanking and do not want to win (Pistons is the 4th team in that group).

Of the others near us in the standings, games against those four tanking teams:

Lakers - 2
Mavs - 4
OKC - 2
Blazers - 1
Wolves - 1
Jazz - 1

If we beat the Lakers I could have some confidence that we could go 5-0. I also hate playing the same team back to back. For whatever reason it always seems hard to beat the same team back to back. I know it's the Rockets, but I hate it.

OKC's next 6 are huge for them as well. We could potentially put some space between us and them. IF they don't beat Brooklyn and/or Toronto, they could go 1-5 in their next 6.

I'm going out on a limb and saying 13-1 to finish the season.

Despite how bad we've been the last couple months we could build some serious momentum with these next 5 games. Go 5-0 and you get some swagger and confidence back in the locker room. That also puts us closer to a potential zion return if the early april timeline on him is true. We have a shot at the 6th seed.

Of course now that I say all of this the team will disappoint me and we'll miss the play in

We need to win at least 8 of the last 14 to finish at .500
We should be aiming for 10 wins, which would have us finish at 43-39

Lakers - have to win
@Rockets - have to win
@Rockets - have to win
Spurs - have to win
Hornets - have to win
@Clips - probably a lost
@Blazers - have to win
@GSW - lost
@Denver - lost
Clips - it'll be their 3rd game in 4 days, and a B2B
Kings - we can beat them at home
Memphis - we can beat them at home
Knicks - we can beat them at home, and they may be resting guys
@Wolves - probably going to be a pivotal game in the standings.


On a side note, we are a terrible road team. We have 11 wins total on the season. Only 3 teams have less wins than us.

We always matchup really well with the clips, i could see us splitting those 2 games. depending on standing the kings grizz and knicks could all be locked into their spots and rest some guys.
