Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 not sure if this has been mentioned, but I was just looking at my giant Magnet-O-Games and noticed that we have 15 games total in December, 9 away and 6 home. Dec. 1 - at Boston Dec. 3 - vs. Minnesota Dec. 5 - vs. OKC Dec. 8 - at LAC Dec. 9 - at Portland Dec. 12 - at Phoenix Dec. 13 - at Utah Dec. 15 - at Golden State Dec. 18 - vs. San Antonio Dec. 20 - vs. LAL Dec. 22 - vs. Golden State Dec. 25 - vs. New Orleans Dec. 27 - at Minnesota Dec. 29 - at Detroit Dec. 31 - at Chicago unless we can continue to improve the offense and see more production from the bench, we would be lucky to go 7/8, 8/7...If we can keep stepping it up and find more fluidity while continuing to work our defense, 10 and 5 should be attainable...I think the good things here is we face mostly Western teams (12 of the 15 are vs. West teams), so we kind of front load the schedule with the west a bit and save more of the East games for later one. We also get both of the GSW and Minny games out of the way, we complete the Portland series as well as the OKC series. So that gets those 4 teams out of the way...

Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 hmm, not sure if I agree with all of your picks, but I disagree with the LAL prediction the most, you say W o L, I mean, have you watched them this season? It's easily going to be a L or W... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 Really, Jareth? You're not willing to edge out onto the limb to predict a victory against the Clippers? Have you seen that team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 That 5 game road trip is a mess... starts off in california, goes up the coast, heads to Phoenix, then Utah, than back to California... Hopefully we can keep up our road success from last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gporter 5 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 We gotta beat Boston, LA, Portland, Phoenix, Detroit, and New Orleans to show ESPN that we mean business!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Do Work Stan .... BOOYAAKASHAA 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 Do you think we will get to 25 wins or 10 losses first? If we make it through December under 10 losses I think there will be no arguing that we are one of the top teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emory889 353 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 It should be a good test for the ball club. Its time this club stepped up and start beating some of the better teams in this league and not just beat the teams we are supposed to beat. The Dallas victory was a good step in the right direction (even though they are on the downslide) so hopefully they can build on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
