28 (now 24) Games Left: How Many Do We Win?

raffi · LG Contributor Joined: 24 Jun 2005 Posts: 9987

Current Record = 28-26

Remaining Games
16 at Home: Includes SA twice, Detroit, Phoenix, NO/Okl twice, Clippers, Houston, Minnesota, Golden State, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Boston, Orlando and Milwaukee.

12 on the Road: Includes SA, Phoenix, NO/Okl, Clippers, Denver, Golden State, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Boston, Cleveland and New Jersey.

Tough games left both home and away.

H = 10-6 (maybe a little better, but I think we lose at least 4)
R = 6-6 (again, I see at least 4 losses)

Total wins 28+16= 44 (realistically, is this enough for the 8th spot or better?)

I predicted 20-10 after the all star game. Now let me see:

30 after the all star break.
2 games in a row with a W.
28 left.
Carry the 1.
Adjust for momentum and player energy fluctuations.
------------

20-8!

The Laker will go at least 20-8 (or hell 22-6 like Kobe Jocker's BOLD prediction

)

If they continue playing like they have the past 2 games, they could go 21-7 (accounting for losses to SA, PHO, DET, LAC).

Assuming they'll go into their usual "lull" 14-14.

16 sounds right.

ShowtimeDynasty_24/7 · Star Player Joined: 04 Mar 2005 Posts: 8361

oh, and we will win the rest of our LAC games and will beat the Spurs and Suns each once

Marty · Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 6:16 pm Post subject:

Let A = 5 wins every 7 games (5-2)
Let B = 4 wins every 7 games (4-3)

@A we finish 28 games with 20-8
@B we finish 28 games with 16-12

Final record @A -> 48-34
Final record @B -> 44-38

In their last 7 games, we finished with 4-3 record.

Barring major injuries, we're gonna make the playoffs with at least 44 wins. Therefore, scenario A looks realistic to me.

at least 18 or 19 wins baby... kobe is gonna carry this team on his back

lakers0505 · Franchise Player Joined: 23 Jun 2005 Posts: 10701

factoring in the current play, with the slump the suns will have upon amare's return, we could get the division

, i crack myself up but yea im a fan, thats what i want, but i do expect the suns to have a two week down streach when S.T.A.T returns.

I'll stand by my earlier prediction - 47 wins. Yeah, I'm a homer.

Hang on. Lemme look at the schedule.

@Clippers
Boston
Orlando
@Portland
@GSW
Detroit
SA
@NO/Okl City
@SA
Seattle
@Sac
Minn
@NJ
@Cleveland
@Boston
Sac
Milwaukee
NO/Okl City
SA
@Seattle
Houston
@Den
@PHX
Clippers
GSW
Portland

I say we win AT LEAST 16 more. I could see us winning 20+, but that's doubtful due to "let-downs", "Phil letting them play through it", etc.

My prediction: 19 wins.

29-29: This isn't going too well so far . . . 1-3 in the last four (2 home, 2 away).

I wasn't expecting losses to Boston or Portland, so we're tracking at about 42 wins. Of course, tonight's game against GS was in the win column as well.

Probably 13. Hello Lotto.

12-12 out of the last 24 games. No playoffs and get to sit back and watch Phx drafted someone like Hilton Amrstrong.
