The crucial final 5 weeks.....

I'm not writing this season off yet, we still have some hope in making the 8th spot...This is what the rest of the season looks like for the final 5 weeks:

1. 14 games (11 are against Playoff contenders)
2. 9 are at home
3. 12 are against Eastern teams
4. Only 2 more back-to-backs
5. Only 4 of the 14 opponents have losing records

If we win 10 of those 14 we finish at 42-40...thats gotta garauntee us the 8th spot....how are we going to do that? Well we need to win at least 7 of our 9 home games....that means we need 3 wins on the road...that can be done....Jent has to go with his best 8 players now....which means more mins for the starting 5 and only 3 subs....most likely Nelson, Augmon and Battie....

We do play well against better teams for some reason, and Francis needs to prove why he was brought here.....If Francis can keep his head screwed on and gets support from Hill, Howard and Nelson, I say we can make it....

It doesn't look good. Our chances are getting slimmer and slimmer.
