AT THE QUARTER POINT OF THE SEASON

[scottt]

IT CAN NOW INTELLIGENTLY BE DISCUSSED. IS THIS A PLAYOFF TEAM? ASSUMING THEY IMPROVE AND THAT THEY GET HEALTHY, I THINK THE ANSWER IS CLEARLY YES. LOOKING AT THE SCHEDULE,

3-1 FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MONTH SEEMS POSSIBLE. THAT MAKES US 15-13 WHEN THE NEW YEAR STARTS.

WE CAN GET ON A STREAK IN JANUARY. 2 REASONABLY WINNABLE ROAD GAMES (IND AND CLE) AND THEN 5 IN A ROW AT HOME (NJ, CLE. WASH. CHI, DEN) THEN MILWAUKEE AND TORONTO ON THR ROAD. BE NICE TO SPLIT THOSE 2 ROAD GAMES. PORTLAND AT HOME. THEN 5 OUT WEST. DEN, SEATLLE, PORTLAND, PHOENIX AND CLIPS. 9-6 OR 10-5 IS POSSIBLE FOR JANUARY. THAT WOULD MAKE US 24-19 OR 25-18 AT THE TURN.

IN FEBRUARY: HOME TO NJ, LAKERS. CLE AND PHI. 2-2 OR 3-1

THEN AT HOUSTON, HOME TO DETROIT, THEN ON THE ROAD AT CHARLOTTE, LAKERS, SAC, GS, UT, SA --- WE WILL KNOW A LOT AT THIS POINT -- THEN CONCLUDE THE MONTH WITH HOME AGAINST SAC AND NYK. IF WE CAN ESCAPE THIS WITH A MONTHLY RECORD ANYWHERE NEAR 500 THEN WE WILL BE IN BUSINESS. BUT THIS WILL BE UGLY. 6-8 OR 5-9

MARCH HAS NO LONG HOME STANDS OR LONG ROAD TRIPS. 10-7 OR 9-8

APRIL HOME WITH TOR AND PHIL. NEED TO WIN BOTH AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON. THEN AT PHILA, IND AND NYK. HELL, WE COULD WIN ALL 3 OF THOSE. THEN HOME TO BOSTON AND ORLANDO AND CLOSE AT MIAMI. WE COULD WIN 6 OF THESE.

THIS DESCRIPTION GETS US ABOUT 48 WINS.

THAT GETS IT DONE. I STILL MAINTAIN THAT THE WORST OF THE SCHEDULE (EXCEPT FOR THE AFORESAID WESTERN RT IN FEB) IS OVER AND WE ARE STILL STANDING. IN PAST YEARS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN 6-18 AFTER 24 GAMES AND JUST BE BURIED.

TONIGHT WAS A GREAT GAME. IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE AL DEMAND THE BALL IN THE SECOND QUARTER. IT IS EXCITING TO SEE MARVIN GROWING UP BEFORE OUR VERY EYES. IT IS EXCITING TO SEE JOE GETTING HIS SH T TOGETHER AGAIN. AJ MAKES IT ALL WORK;. A LOT OF US HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED FOR A WHILE. THIS IS NOW GETTING EXCITING.

THANX FOR LISTENING TO MY MEANDERING THOUGHTS.

Is there a reason why you posted in all caps?

MORE EMPHATIC. PLUS IT LOOKS COOL. NO- IN FACT, IT IS SIMPLY EASIER FOR ME TO READ BECAUSE THE PRINT IS A LITTLE LARGER.

I wish I had your look ahead vision. I just hope we get healthy and am looking forward to playing the Heat.

It may be easier for you but its harder for everybody else. If the post is meant to be read by other people you may want to take the lock off.

Its just a thought.

I can relate to this scott; but you do have an option. Admit your age and buy some reading glasses. That's what I did...

HEY SCOTT

I LIKE OUR PLAYOFF CHANCES TOO

ESPECIALLY SINCE WE SURVIVED A PRETTY DANG HARD SCHEDULE

THE KEY TO THIS TEAM MAKING THE PLAYOFFS IS STAYING FOCUSED AND STAYING HEALTHY
