First 10 games

Post by thedoper »

Butler's out for Sunday with the birth of his kid. It got me thinking we have a pretty nice opening schedule in spite of 6 of those 10 being road games. 7-3 isn't out of the question from what I see in the schedule. But it is the Wolves so I'm going 6-4. Anything that is a winning record in the first 10 would be a huge accomplishment as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly even 5-5 to start even with what may be a softer schedule (haven't looked) I would take it. Hopefully Miami's new rookies in the backcourt doesn't make our whole organization look silly.

I broke it down like this:

@Brooklyn W
@Charlotte W
Miami W
@Philadelphia L
@Washington W
Milwaukee L
@Memphis W
Golden State L
Denver L
@Detroit W

I think this isn't crazy on paper based on what we saw in game one. I wouldn't even think it was crazy if we stole a game. What would be crazy is if it actually happened and we had a winning record after 6 of 10 road games. Our schedule is somewhat easy and from what it looks like Lip is going to see a few losses at home.

Charlotte, Miami, and Detroit could all be losses. I hate to say it.

Any game could be a loss with the wolves. You can say it.

Well, in that case I say we go 1-9.

Golden State is terrible this year. I'm with Barkley in saying no playoffs after watching them.

GSW may be proving that Klay Thompson is the real MVP. Stephs weakness on defense next to Russell is a big concern for them. I was thinking 6 seed for them. Though, they could miss the playoffs. Their depth is maybe worse then the Wolves. They got Steph Draymond and Russell, outside of that, no bueno.

They have played 1 game against ThI Clippers one of the deepest teams in the league that also happens to have Kawhi. Steph is still better than anyone a bunch of teams have and he still has Draymond plus Russell is likely going to be a really good offensive player. They will get wins against teams that aren't the top tier teams.

Wiggins is a really good offensive player too. D-Lo will be an albatross contract just like Wiggs.
