7 straight games against good teams over the course of 12 days, with New Year’s thrown in for good measure. Those last two games on the road seem particularly tough. This is going to be a real test for players and coaches alike, but it should offer a good read on the playoff readiness of the current roster.

  1. Yeah I was just listening about that on the Down to Dunk podcast. The nice part about it is that we get 5 straight at home during that stretch

  2. MEM will be exciting. This is a young and exciting team. The game gives me similar vibes to Mavs and Rockets games where we play the up and coming 2 seed. They had one of the easiest schedule to start the season, but they did beat the Celtics.

    MIN hasn’t been that good this season, so I lean towards us winning.

    LAC we beat them once with Chet, once without any bigs, and now let’s beat them with iHart! And give them hell on 3/23 with Chet AND iHart.

    I would be happy if we can split with the east teams, preferably at least a win over either the Cs or the Cavs.

    Hoping we go at least 5-2, but 4-3 is probably good enough to keep the first seed coming out of this.

  3. They got us playing a finals schedule in dec/jan…best of 7…think we come out of this 4-3

  17. Memphis is gonna be dangerous. They’ve been in our shadow this season and want this win more than any so far I imagine.

  22. I see us going 5-2. Only losing to Cleveland and splitting one of the games with knicks. I feel like we shock the nba and edge the celtics in a close one. Wolves and clippers are easy wins. Memphis will put up a fight but lose because of our D forcing turnovers.

  27. At first look, I thought that looked rough rest-wise (tough games without much rest between)

    But the opponent schedule does us some favours.
    The Memphis, LAC, and Boston games are their 3rd game in 4 nights, so that should help.

    The first NY one will be tough – us on the back to back vs them coming off a rest day (and maybe an easy game against utah?)
