I'm not pushing the idea that we get the #1 seed. I don't really even care about that at this point. I am just concerned with ensuring the ship is righted.
This team has been at the top all year, but suffered thru a rare mid-season funk. In a month period, we lost 9 games. Each loss was contested with the exception of beatdowns at Phx and Miami.
Only 3 of those losses were at home, and we have successfully paid back 2 of those losses with road wins (LAL, Hou) and have an upcoming date with Dallas for a chance at the last.
Even as bad as we have been we are still, and have been just about the entire time, the 3rd best record in all of basketball. We started the year shaky at home and were great on the road. We still only have 2 more road losses than Phx and 4 more than Dal.
I think our remaining schedule looks VERY nice for us. Again, not trying to boast for best record, but to simply maintain momentum.
Only remaining road games are @ Port, Sac, Mil, Sea, GS, Indy, Min, Dal, and Mem. 9 road games left. The only team with a winning record is Dal. Of the 6 worst teams record wise in the WC, we play all 6 on the road. Mil has the next to worst record in the EC, and Indy is .500.
Home games, there are 13. Of those 6 teams with the worst records in the WC, the only ones we don't play at home are Min and Mem (Sea, GS, Port, Sac). We have LAC, NOK, Bos, NJ, Indy, Denv all left at home as well. Additionally, we play Utah, Phx and Det (the only teams over .500) at home.
We only have 4 games (3 at home) with teams over .500. We have beaten all 4 of these teams, 2 of them on the road.
We have 10 games left with the 6 worst teams in the WC.
We have 7 games left with other under .500 teams that we have owned this year.
Conversely, Dal has 14 away and 9 at home. They go to Phx and Det and LAL and Clev. They have the Spurs and Utah and Phx at home. They have a 6-game road stretch, come home for 2, and have 3 more on the road.
Phx has 10 away 12 at home. They play @ Dal, Dnv, SA, LAL, Hou. They also have Dnv, LAL, Dal, Det, Hou at home.
I like our schedule. I think it plays well for us. I think we can be playing well and heathly and rested for the playoffs. I like it a lot.
