Let’s actually take a quick look at the next 7 games. Charlotte 11/20, Milwaukee 11/22, Orlando 11/24, Atlanta 11/26, Chicago 11/28, Philly 12/1, and Cleveland 12/12 (the IST knockout round between those last 2 so could have more games.
Charlotte we should beat by 30. Moving on.
Milwaukee will be a test. Obviously you have the Jrue revenge game but the Bucks are in that first tier with us, and going to blows with them this is gonna be must see TV.
Orlando, honestly can’t believe I’m saying this but great team and incredible defense. We should beat them but they are good enough to take one from us which they seem to do every year for some fucking reason.
Atlanta, mediocre team hoping for a play-in spot. A game we should win but a team good enough to steal one.
Chicago, bad team. We’ll probably rest someone here and should still win this.
Philly, I hate the city of Philadelphia and I want to crush them but again here we are back to must see tv because this will be close.
Cleveland, same tier as Atlanta. A team vying for a playoff spot with one standout capable of stealing a game but a game we should win. We also play them two days later for some reason.
There’s no game this team can’t win, but if they can go 5-2 over this stretch I’d feel good about it as long as we can take one or both of the Mil/Phil games. I know we all want to meme 80-2 (myself included) but realistically this team is capable of breaking 60 wins if they all stay healthy. We should decimate Charlotte tonight, but I’ll still be watching because the Jrue/Lamelo matchup should be a good one.
