We are still the #4 seed after an injury-riddled two weeks where we won 1 game out of 7. Now, I know that we are 1/2 a game from being the sixth seed, but I expect that this trip was our clunker for the year. I fully expect to tread water for the next couple of weeks until Hughes gets back and then make our run over the final month and a half of the season.
I'm not naive enough to think that the one win turns everything around, but we are coming home and have a few days to catch our breath and get those nagging injuries rested.
Indiana, without Artest, can't string anything together and Milwaukee had a chance to make-up ground and couldn't. The 4 seed is ours for the taking unless we continue to tank. 47-48 wins is going to get it.
Get Indiana on Tuesday at home, payback Atlanta, and we are on our way. Let's hope that we play Phoenix as well as we played on ABC last season. We ALWAYS showed up for those games (whipped the Knicks, beat Dallas, and beat the Lakers). Charlotte is just awful. I see no reason why we can't end this month taking AT LEAST 3 of 4, putting is at 24-18.
So, figuring we can finish the month strong with a few home games and some roadies against poor teams, we'll still be on pace for 48 wins with a stretch where we didn't win one game for the better part of two weeks. We'll still be the 4th seed as well. And, as icing on the cake, we are another week closer to Larry coming back. Let's not forget what we did the last time Larry played.
