Here is the remaining schedule and my predictions
Dallas:
HOME SCHEDULE ROAD SCHEDULE
- ------------- -------------
Apr. 1 -- Detroit, 8:30 pm
Apr. 8 -- Portland, 8:30 pm
Apr. 10 -- Seattle, 8:30 pm
Apr. 12 -- Vancouver, 8:30 pm Apr. 3 -- at Golden State, 10:30 pm

Apr. 19 -- Denver, 8:30 pm Apr. 6 -- at L.A. Lakers, 9:30 pm
Apr. 16 -- at Minnesota, 8:00 pm
Apr. 18 -- at Houston, 8:30 pm
Predictions:
losses -- Det, Port, Sea, LAC, Den @sea, @lal, @min @hou

The last game of the season against Denver is KEY!!!!! Denver will tank
it I am sure, but I can dream.
Denver
HOME SCHEDULE ROAD SCHEDULE
- ------------- -------------
Apr. 2 -- at L.A. Lakers, 10:30 pm
Apr. 1 -- Houston, 9:00 pm Apr. 8 -- at San Antonio, 8:30 pm
Apr. 4 -- Phoenix, 9:00 pm Apr. 10 -- at Golden State, 10:30 pm
Apr. 7 -- Portland, 9:00 pm Apr. 12 -- at L.A. Clippers, 10:30 pm
Apr. 14 -- Golden State, 9:00 pm Apr. 16 -- at Portland, 10:00 pm
Apr. 17 -- Seattle, 9:00 pm Apr. 19 -- at Dallas, 8:30 pm
predictions:
losses -- hou, phoe, port, sea, @lal, @port
wins -- phoe, gs, @san, @gs, @lac, @dal
final record: 26-56
They probably won't beat phoenix, but these are optimistic
predictions. Again, last game vs dallas will decide all!
Golden State
HOME SCHEDULE ROAD SCHEDULE
- ------------- -------------
Apr. 3 -- Dallas, 10:30 pm
Apr. 5 -- San Antonio, 10:30 pm Apr. 1 -- at Portland, 10:00 pm
Apr. 6 -- Utah, 9:00 pm Apr. 11 -- at Sacramento, 10:30 pm
Apr. 8 -- L.A. Lakers, 10:30 pm Apr. 14 -- at Denver, 9:00 pm
Apr. 10 -- Denver, 10:30 pm Apr. 17 -- at Utah, 9:00 pm
Apr. 13 -- Phoenix, 8:00 pm
Apr. 19 -- Sacramento, 11:00 pm
predictions:
losses: dal, utah, lal, den, phoe, @mia, @orl, @char,@port, @sac,
@den, @utah
wins: san, sac
final record: 27-57
it is going to be scary coming down the stretch unless I am wrong and GS
beats Dallas on 4/3 (two days from now). Golden State is playing like
crap. Their next best chance for a W is against Denver, but that don't
help us!
New Jersey
HOME SCHEDULE ROAD SCHEDULE
- ------------- -------------
Apr. 2 -- at Minnesota, 8:00 pm
Apr. 3 -- Charlotte, 7:30 pm Apr. 11 -- at Washington, 7:30 pm
Apr. 6 -- L.A. Clippers, 1:00 pm Apr. 13 -- at Milwaukee, 2:30 pm
Apr. 8 -- Miami, 7:30 pm Apr. 15 -- at Atlanta, 7:30 pm
Apr. 10 -- Milwaukee, 7:30 pm Apr. 18 -- at Miami, 7:30 pm
Apr. 16 -- Philadelphia, 7:30 pm
Apr. 20 -- Atlanta, 6:00 pm
predictions:
losses: char, mia, phil, atl, @atl, @mia
wins: lac, milw, @wash, @minn, @milw
final record: 28-54
This team is tough to figure. They could lose at Wash and/or at minn.
April 16 vs. the sixers will be key. Hopefully they will be far enough
ahead of Dallas to absorb a loss here
Toronto
HOME SCHEDULE ROAD SCHEDULE
- ------------- -------------
Apr. 2 -- at Philadelphia, 7:30 pm
Apr. 5 -- at Miami, 7:30 pm
Apr. 14 -- at Chicago, 8:30 pm
Apr. 15 -- at Milwaukee, 8:30 pm
Apr. 8 -- Washington, 7:00 pm Apr. 18 -- at Charlotte, 7:30 pm
Apr. 10 -- Orlando, 7:00 pm Apr. 20 -- at Boston, 1:00 pm
Apr. 12 -- Indiana, 6:00 pm
predictions:
losses: wash, orl, ind, @phil, @mia, @chi, @milw, @char, @bos
wins:
final record: 26-56
They probably won't lose out, but they only have three home games and all
against teams fighting for playoff position. I would not be surprised if
they won at milw and/or at philly. If they are ahead of Dallas and a loss
to the Cs would keep Toronto behind, NJ and GS and tied with Denver and
philly, then look for the Cs to play the game of their lives on that last
day of the season.
Philadelphia
HOME SCHEDULE ROAD SCHEDULE
- ------------- -------------
Apr. 2 -- Toronto, 7:30 pm
Apr. 4 -- Indiana, 7:30 pm Apr. 1 -- at Orlando, 7:30 pm
Apr. 9 -- Atlanta, 7:30 pm Apr. 5 -- at Charlotte, 7:30 pm
Apr. 14 -- Washington, 7:30 pm Apr. 7 -- at Chicago, 8:30 pm
Apr. 18 -- Boston, 7:30 pm Apr. 11 -- at Milwaukee, 8:30 pm
Apr. 12 -- at Cleveland, 7:30 pm
Apr. 16 -- at New Jersey, 7:30 pm
Apr. 19 -- at Atlanta, 6:00 pm
predictions:
losses: atl, @orl, @char, @chi, @cle, @atl
wins: tor, ind, wash, bos, @milw, @nj
final record: 26-56
Once again this is optimistic prognostication: philly could easily lose
at home to toronto, indiana, and washington, and on the road to new
jersey, but they have a shot at winning these games.
Final lottery positions:
9. New Jersey 28-54
8. Golden State 27-55
7. Philly 26-56
7. Denver 26-56
7. Toronto 26-56
4. Dallas 24-58
This could happen, but not likely. However, there is a decent chance that
New Jersey will stay ahead of Dallas and even that Philly (but probably
not denver) will pass Dallas. My more sane prediction:
9. Toronto 29-56
8. New Jersey 27-55
7. Golden State 27-55
6. Philly 25-57
6. Dallas 25-57
4. Denver 24-58
That would still be very nice!
