Anyone have some updated predictions on our record this season? You can pretty much forget the playoffs. I know that we have a lot of injuries going on, but I just dont see how we can turn this season around. Our only hope is some magical mid-season trade that Rudy and CD can pull off, and even then who do we have to trade?? Cato? Walt? You think that other teams want to take a shot at our scrubs? Our only hope to reconcile this season is to wake up tomorrow and have this all be a dream...... or a nightmare rather........
I think ... We have no one , 7-75 is out of the question , Francis alone makes us a 30 win Ballclub , Well you see what happens without him . We have lost our Starting Point Guard , Power Forward , and Small Forward , And You guys wonder why we suck so bad .
I don't think we should be counted out of the playoffs yet. It seems most people have lowered their estimation of the team and the talent that we have. I have not. We did win 45 games last year and we did improve the roster since then. I think the team is in a bad rut. If they can come to their senses again, they can win basketball games, even without Francis. I thought the Bulls loss would be the catalyst, but that apparently didn't do it. It'll have to click at some point though. Right now we are, what?, 7-12. Assuming we need 48 wins to make the playoffs, we'll need to go 41-22 the rest of the way. That's a 65% winning percentage, or about as well as Dallas is playing so far. That's not too easy, but not impossible either.
Last year we were 20-23, and still ended up 45-37. This year I'm thinking 45 wins makes the playoffs easily. We're not that far off from .500 right now...the point is, the playoffs aren't out of reach YET.
we need a spot on the front page for "if the playoffs started today" ranking so we can watch our team hover below the 8th seed all season long... or not...
