First half schedule released

[HoopKing20]

The first two games appear winnable. Early matchups against Hawks will be telling. I am not sure I like the back to backs with same team.  I do like playing every other day.

Best Case Scenario...

[amcoolio]

I think either way, we should be excited. For the first time in forever we have young talent that flashes major potential. If we miss the playoffs, this draft is loaded and we'd have a good shot at another franchise player. If we make it, then our young guys are progressing better than everyone thought. 

I think the east will be very competitive especially with Covid. Seeds 6-12 could all be within a few games of eachother.

I see us winning 6 games there.

6-32?  Ouch. So you still think the team is a year or two away.

Who do you think has the advantage, those who havent played in 9 months or the teams that havent had a long break?  Or talent trumps all?

All factors matter.. I wouldn't give advantage one way or another - teams that had forever or teams that have barely had an offseason.. I just took 5 mins and went through guessing.. Like I said this is probably best case scenario..

My guess is 16-22 from the first part of schedule. I think the early part of schedule is fairly easy and team could go 8-4.  Dallas is vulnerable until Porzingis comes back.  That is my best case scenario.

My prediction is 20-18 and the team makes the playoffs as the 6th seed.

Preseason game 1 is Sat vs the Raptors.  On Fox Sports Southeast or NBATV.
