Tuesdays game is huge
No doubt. The Nets now go on a nasty road trip with the Mavs and then the Rockets & Spurs back to back and then another back to back, with one off day in between, against the Hornets and Grizz. which is not good news for them. Hard to believe the Nets just lost to Boston and Philly back to back. Now they're schedule is interesting. In fact their entire schedule is really tough. But as DJ Su has stated, ours is really rough, with both games against the Mavs and Hornets, plus two against Toronto and the Cavs. One against the Wiz, Orlando, Portland & Seattle (Tuesday's game).
Orlando's schedule is a bit more favorable, Miami also looks easier than ours and the Nets, and Indiana's a mixed bag.
No one has a HUGE edge, but I'd say Miami and Orlando's looked the easiest, in terms of opponents and nights off. Indiana plays a few low level teams, but also play some tough back to backers including one against the Rockets and Spurs. The Nets and the Knick have the toughest schedules, honestly, and I think it might be that we have the worst, in terms of opponents. We have only two games against teams we "should" beat, (and play at home) in Seattle and Portland, and I think the Blazers have played better lately. The rest are all either games we will not be expected to win, or are a pick em.
After looking over things, maybe we are the least likely of the group to make it in. Of course, Indiana, Orlando and the Nets have been dropping making it more difficult to predict. That's why they play the games, huh?
