I love prediction threads!!
After 60 games the Raps have a record of 34-26, with 22 games remaining. Can we get to 50 wins, which would require the team to go 16-6 (0.727 %) for the rest of the season?
Let's look at the remaining schedule:
Mar 9 @ Min
Mar 10 @ Brooklyn (back to back 1)
Mar 12 vs DET
Mar 14 vs MEM
Mar 16 vs PHX
Mar 18 @ ATL
Mar 19 @ NO (back to back 2)
Mar 21 vs OKC
Mar 23 vs ATL
Mar 25 @ CLE
Mar 26 @ BOS (back to back 3)
Mar 28 vs BOS
Mar 30 @ ORL
Mar 31 @ MIA (back to back 4)
Apr 2 vs HOU
Apr 4 vs IND
Apr 5 @ MIL (back to back 5)
Apr 9 vs PHI
Apr 11 vs NYK
Apr 13 @ DET
Apr 14 vs MIL (back to back 6)
Apr 16 @ NYK
So we have 5 games left against Western teams, and all of them will be tough games. The easiest of the bunch (Minny) is the only road game.
We have 9 games against current playoff teams, 3 on the road and 5 vs Eastern opponents.
We also have 6 back to backs left, with four of them being all road games. The 5th ends with a road game while the 6th starts with a road game.
So, the last 6 games look to be fairly easy and it is just a 6 game winning streak waiting to happen. If the Raps could achieve that then they would only have to go 10-6 through the 16 games between now and Apr 4 vs Indy.
Can the Raps get 50 wins? I think it's going to be tough and will depend heavily on how the team handles the back to backs. I could see us going 9-7 through the next 16, and hopefully pull out a 6 game win streak to finish the season 15-7, for a total of 49-33.
What do you think?
