Rough Seas Ahead

My guess is 4-6 but I am cheering for 10-0

Nets
Twolves
Raptors
Kings

Those games we have to win just to help with the gs pick
 
However, I would like the Jazz to have a particularly good showing against the Nets. I still can't help but fantasize that a reformed D-Will comes back (provided the Jazz have the cap space after dumping Harris and maybe Jefferson).

For anyone that is against this idea I would just point to another "prodigal son" who just returned home and tell me you wouldn't get goosebumps if DWill did the basketball version of this in his first game back at the ESA as a member of the Jazz:

I know the quality of this video is poor, so if you can't make out what he's saying as he's pounding Arsenal's crest, it's "I'M BACK!"
 
If the free-throw differential is like it was in the Cavs game, we'll be lucky to top 0-10... They had 20 more FT's on OUR court until the Cav's started intentionally fouling near the end of the game!
 
lets enjoy this 6-3 record right now, because the days of playing relative cream-puffs is about over. The next 10 games consist of a few pretty rough matchups. Sure, there are some semi-crap teams in the mix, but overall the competition is much stiffer. Predict our w-l over the next 10 games:

Vs lakers
vs nets
@ nuggets
vs clippers
vs mavericks
vs t-wolves
vs raptors
@ dallas
vs sacramento
vs portland

lots and lots of home games in the mix, but against some good road teams and contenders. Even the should-win games like the kings and the wolves may be harder to win with some losing-caused adversity thrown in the mix.

We'll probably come back to earth here (sadly), in my opinion. Hater, believer, realist, it is time to put up or shut up.

I am feeling 3-7. Just catching bad vibes right now. Our entire backcourt is struggling. Just a hunch. Would love to eat words and blow this prediction.

It seems like when i look at the box score for a nets game this year i see D-Will shooting about 30% from the field, and having a bunch of turnovers.
When i have seen them on tv he looks awful and is always pouting.

Not sure i want that on this team.
The d-will of a few years ago sure, but it seems like he has gotten worse over the last year and a half. I know his team is crap and alot of people will use that as an excuse but if his team sucks then he should still be able to score alot and shoot a good percentage while they are losing these games.
 
This is such a weird schedule, it all depends on when the team played last and how many games in a row it is for that team. My most hopeful would be 7-3. Our guards are not playing well. I hate to say this, but Harris has got to be moved. We have the worst starting back court in the NBA.
 
....I see 9-1...with the only loss coming to Dallas in Dallas! The rest of that bunch are chump teams! We shot almost 60% last night! NBA teams are regularly shooting in the 30% range these days!!!

Dallas has been worse than Lakers, Clippers, and Trailblazers this year. If we beat one of these teams maybe I will start to drink a little Kool-Aid.
 
I'm going with 6-4!

Lakers
Nets
Twolves
Raptors
Kings
Trailblazers

I think we can get the lakers tonight cause Kobe went of for 40+, so I think his hand will be extra sore and he will be tired after putting in that effort!
 
Nets Raptors and Sacramento should be wins. Wolves and Portland could go anyway. Rest is losses. So 5-5 best case scenario for me, 3-7 should be about right, would not mind 4-6.

Cha-ching!!!
