Murat Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 It took me like a whole hour to do this, but this is what we need to do to make playoffs. Teams in the EAST that we need to win against at least: Philadelphia 3/4 games Charlotte 3/4 games Indiana 2/3 games Total games = 11 expected(8) more like(6) WINS! Teams in the EAST that we need to win at least : Knicks 2/4 games Magic 2/4 games Bucks 2/4 games Nets 2/4 games Wizards 2/4 games Heat 2/4 games Raptors 2/3 games Total games = 27 expected(14) more like(12) wins Teams In the EAST that we need to win at least: Detroit 1/4 games Chicago 1/3 games Boston 1/3 games Cavs 1/3 games Total games = 13 expected(4) more like(6) WINS Teams in the WEST that we need to win BOTH games against: Grizzlies 2/2 games Sonics 2/2 games Clippers 2/2 games Wolves 2/2 games Total games = 8 expected(8) more like (6) WINS Teams in the WEST that we need to win at least: Denver 1/2 games Warriors 1/2 games Lakers 1/2 games Blazers 1/2 games Hornets 1/2 games Kings 1/2 games Suns 1/2 games Jazz 1/2 games Total Games = 16 expected(8) more like(8) Wins These are the teams in the WEST that could sweep us in 2 games. Any win against these teams is a major plus. Spurs 0/2 games Mavs 0/2 games Rockets 0/2 games Total Games = 6 expected(0) more like (2) Wins If we go by this than we should expect 42 wins or more like 40 wins. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

AtLaS Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Yeah that's a good writeup, our key this season is beating the teams that we SHOULD beat, that's been a huge problem with us recently. We've done well against the top teams, but just blow gaskets against other bottom dwellers. That's my main thing this season, we need to beat bad teams.

Premium Member Diesel Posted October 28, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I think you give the Mavs, Rockets, and Cavs too much credit. I think we have played all three of these teams strong and totally healthy, I think we can take them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got blown out in almost every game we played against them in past 3 or so seasons. Rockets are a complete team now and if healthy they can overthrow the Spurs for best in the west. Cavs have Lebron and he gets every call when they play against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great write up summing up fact that we need to handle our business against teams that we should beat. Come out with same intensity we play with against Detroit against the likes of Charlotte. I think another year of maturity from current young players and maturity of our two rookies will help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Good job in going back to this thread. Maybe you should continue to do it like every 10th game from here on out, to see how we're stacking up against what you predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzachary Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 The only goal of yours that we can't reach at this point is 2-2 vs the Sonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrywest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Disregarding probability influenced by home/road games, I went through your numbers, and we needed 8.833 wins to keep up and we are at 8. If we had 1 more win we would have been ahead of your expectation. Not bad for a team with 2 rookie starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
