Prediction Time: How Will The Raptors Do Over The Next 10?


Recommended Posts

Alright, so the Raptors are entering what is probably the most favourable portion of their season. They play 8 of their next 10 against teams under .500 and 7 of the 10 at home (includng both games against above .500 teams). So predict how they will do over the next 10 games?

 

Vs. Miami

@ New York

Vs. Indiana

@ Indiana

Vs. New Jersey

Vs. Sacramento

Vs. Philadelphia

Vs. Memphis

@ New Jersey

Vs. Washington

 

Back-to-backs

 

The Memphis game is also the first game back from the All-Star game.

So far we are 4-1. Our differential over the first half of this stretch is +8.5 in the 4 wins, which is a really solid number IMO.

 

In this 10 game stretch, if you wanted to call any part of it difficult, it was the first half, now we only have one more back to back against trash teams. Our rest between games is 3 days off, 2 days off, 6 days off (ASW), 1 day off and no days off (back to back). So we are getting lots of rest in between these games against crappy teams. If we could go 4-1 in this stretch that would be great, that would allow us to lose to a really solid Grizz team, I would love to beat them though, payback for that choke job earlier in the season.

 

So far so good though, 7-3 is still my hope, but 8-2 wouldn't be half bad either :D .

The rest of the games are favorable, even the Memphis game. Only one road game in there and that's in New Jersey. We could go perfect, because after the All-Star game we should be fully healthy (maybe even with Reggie). We need to grab the next two though. Going into the break with a 29-23 record is nice.

 

Also, Schedules til All-Star break for Miami, Charlotte and Chicago

 

Miami

Tonight - @ Cleveland - L

Saturday - @ Chicago - L

Tuesday - V Houston

Wednesday - @ Atlanta

 

Charlotte

Saturday - V New Orleans - L

Tuesday - V Washington

Wednesday - @ Minnesota

 

Chicago

Friday - @ Atlanta - L

Saturday - V Miami - W

Tuesday - @ Indiana

Wednesday - V Orlando

 

Each team has at least 1 back-to-back. Nice advantage we have with a game Sunday and a game Wednesday.

So I updated the other 3 team's schedules with how they did. Essentially, those games worked out as well as they could with the only win coming because two of the teams played each other. Now all three teams have a back-to-backs Tues and Wed. This shows if the Raptors can find a way to win the next two, the gap could be very nice, especially since we are 2.5 up though 4 games above .500.

Not to add to the Celtics' misery, but Raptors have 2nd easiest remaining schedule, based on opponents' winning pct. Mia has easiest.

 

 

As Wilbon would say, gettin some Dap., somewhat

Looks like overall considering.

 

Cleveland: Twice Left(Home, Away)

Boston: One Left (Home)

Atlanta: Twice Left(Home, Away)

Orlando: None

 

We really only have one large West coast string left. That is a 4 gamer which is @LAL, @SAC, @GS, @POR

 

31 Games Left (16 Home, 15 Away)

6-2, blows that we blew that game last night, and with Bosh out we could drop these next 2 should win games. The Wizards look horrible now and the Nets are crap, we need Hedo to step the [expletive] up these next 2 games with Bosh potentially out for them both.

 

From everything that I have heard Bosh is only going to miss tomorrows game against New Jersey and will be in the lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

 

You never know though.
