14th Tank Platoon

[The Midnight]

Ya, No.

I'm srs there is no chance we will win less than 30 games.

$20 bet via PayPal for anyone who disagrees.

Too expensive for meh... and with that I'm out.

 

[Doublea]

It feels so good being back down here.

 

[UGLI baby]

It feels so good being back down here.

Started at the bottom now we back.

 

[sgjazzfan]

Zero chance we end up with less than 30 wins.

I am willing to bet anyone on this.

I think if there was a line in vegas right now, 30 would be a pretty good over/under for the Jazz. I hope you are going for reverse mojo psychology right now.

 

[Doublea]

Pelicans won, so that's good!

 

[sgjazzfan]

Pelicans won, so that's good!

I don't think the night could have really gone better. There were 10 games, and the 9 that made any difference (Tor @ LAC didn't) went the way most would have chose. The only toss ups were LAL @ Philly and Sac @ Bos, but I think its better that Bos and LAL both won.

Me too, I don't want to see the lakers anywhere close to a top 3 pick and the kings aren't trying to tank, which moved us closer with the boston win.

Crazy how we hate the Lakers soooo much, that we are driven to cheer for them.

Nah it's not cheering, fundamentally it will hurt them to win games. So I am cheering for the end result.

 

[Zulu]

Hmmm just looked at the schedule and I'm thinking 28 wins at least, good chance of 30

on the app. square bizness.

7 more wins!!!!!

2/07 @ Dallas Mavericks - L - 3:1
2/08 vs. Miami Heat (back to back) - L
2/11 @ Los Angeles Lakers - W (1 more night rest and Lakers played the Bulls 2 days ago)
2/12 vs. Philadelphia 76ers (back to back) - L (Philly has a night rest and only a flight from Oakland)
2/19 vs. Brooklyn Nets - L (Rested senior legs)

2/20 - Trade Deadline - Hopefully DL flips Marvin and Jefferson for something.

2/21 @ Portland Trailblazers - L
2/22 vs. Minnesota T-Wolves (back to back against a bubble playoff team) - L (Minny has 2 nights of rest, and I wouldn't call the Blazers a bubble playoff team)
2/24 vs. Boston Celtics - W (Both teams have same amount of rest, but Cs on a road trip)
2/26 vs. Phoenix Suns - W (PHX on a back to back against MInny the night before, but it's 50-50 with the higher talent level/coaching, young legs and short flight from PHX)
2/28 @ Cleveland Cavs (start 6 game road trip) - L (Cleveland having same amount of rest, coming home from OKC and they'll find together for a final playoff push, but it's close)
3/02 @ Indianapolis Pacers - L
3/03 @ Milwaukee (back to back) - W(MIlwaukee also hosts the Nets 2 nights prior to the game, but it's close)
3/05 @ Washington Wizards - L (Home court adv)
3/07 @ New York Knicks - L (No back to back and Knicks regaining shape slowly towards the Playoffs and Chandler healthy)
3/08 @ Philadelphia 76ers (back to back and finish road trip) - L (Sixers have 3 nights of rest - YOUNG LEGS)

3/24 vs. Detroit Pistons - L(Detroit on a road trip, with 1 night of rest, coming in from LAC. Very close, but I think Detroit's lack of range can't be abused from No-D Corbin)
3/26 vs. Memphis Grizzlies - L(Memphis has 1 night rest, 1st game on the road)
3/28 @ New Orleans Pelicans - L(Same amount of rest and road)
3/30 @ Oklahoma City Thunder - L

4/14 vs. Los Angeles Lakers - W(Back to back for the Lakers)
4/16 @ Minnesota T-Wolves - L(Minny with 3rd game in 4 nights, but they got home court. Unfortunately close. I hope they're in playoff pursuit)

One too many!!!

 

[BTP]

One too many!!!

Then find another W on my predictions that turns into a L
And stop the Jazz from screwing up my L column.
I btw want a top4 pick. Which basically means we need the 3rd worst record to ensure that.

Especially if one of the players decides to stay at school...

Just sticking with my guns!!!

 

[bovice]

[yamers]

if we lose both the lakers and philly game we are in reaaaaally good shape. Perhaps bench Burke and favors and activate tank commander JL3
