There's a real chance we go 0-6. I know that's blasphemy at the moment but these are all tough games and I can't imagine us being favourites for any of them. Like someone above said, 2-4 on this next stretch would be very solid. People should temper their expectations, we're less than 20% into the season. Long way to go before we've proven we're for real, though obviously it's been very encouraging so far.
There are also two back to backs in the next 8 games, after the b2b with Warriors and Utah we play the Clippers and Pacers as well.
We're playing the Grizzlies who are 8-5 now that just beat the Bucks, Rockets, the Jazz twice, the Thunder who are 9-5 now, the Warriors, The Clippers who beat the Warriors, and then the Pacers.
We have two back to backs in that span of games. Tomorrow and at the Rockets. Then Warriors and Jazz back to back.
Some of those teams seem to be slumping but each game is it's own entity, I'm curious to see how the team approaches the Grizzlies, Thunder and playing the Jazz two times again. It will be a good barometer of Dave's coaching ability to see what kind of changes or game plan he has. Also to see the ability for the players to play familiar opponents again and recognize some changes in game plan if any.
If anything is going to help us, it is the return (maybe) of Harry Giles, and the return of Bogdan. We could also use Koufos in the Jazz games if he is healthy enough. We're definately going to need our bench to play better, WCS is going to be playing against some good big men so we need some fresh legs to help rebound.
There are definitely no easy games in the West.
