Easy or Tough? Do or Die!

Ok, so 2nd half of the season starts tomorrow against Seattle and including that game we have 41 games left to go. Right now we are standing at 22-19 and are 10th in the West (not exactly what we pictured in the preseason) and to top that off we are fighting Utah and GS to make the playoffs. Personally I think that will change and we will instead be fighting Utah and Portland because I think Denver will clinch the Northwest division pushing Portland down to 8 seed, still both are tough to beat.

Will we make the playoffs? (I think to get in the playoffs in west we need to be at least 8 to 10 games above .500)

Our Schedule does get fairly easy (except a tough week in March) after a rough first half but this does not mean that we WILL win all the games we "should" win.

Here is a list of tough teams we will be facing out of 41 games.

Tough Teams(# of times we play them)
Utah(2)
Golden State(2)
New Orleans(3)
Dallas(1)
Charlotte(1) - Only because for some reason they beat all great teams.
LA Lakers(1)
Boston(1)
Phoenix(2)
San Antonio(1)
Portland(3)
Denver(2)

There is a stretch in March where we will play Lakers, Boston, New Orleans, Golden State and Phoenix all in one week and even back to backs!

March
Lakers - Sun 16 (W)
Boston - Tues 18 (L)
New Orleans - Wed 19 (L)
Golden State - Fri 21 (L)
Phoenix - Sat 22 (W)

Call me crazy but I think this 2nd half we will be 30-11 putting our overall season record to 52-30.
