I think 3, 1, then 2. I think that’s almost always the case in this type of scenario of choices, but I was trying to put more games in the first one to have to work. And I think in this case the home team is a bigger factor.

How did you do?

How did you do?

Awful. But not always what I think is going to happen is what I want to happen. I don’t know if it is good for the Warriors to lose because they are playing the jazz next. I think it means less in the NBA than other sports.

Thanks. If you do this game other times, let me know. I'll try to play too.

Not a prediction, but a win over the Nuggets tonight would make up for the loss to the Timberwolves.

Hindsight: Should have rested Conley one more game against Minnesota and allow a tired traveling Jazz player play less against Denver.

The Jazz almost beat Denver.

The Jazz almost beat Denver.

If Conley or Markannen played. Maybe if Sexton played. Neither of those threee would ruin what we did to stay close and could have contributed. In hindsight, we should have had Conley play against Denver on the road back to back instead of after a break at home so that others who could be tired from the Minnesota game could rest. I don’t know if Denver missed anyone.

If we win six games, I will feel confident about winning 45. If we win five games, I think there’s a good possibility since the rest of the schedule does not have many back to backs, etc. If we win four, I think there’s a chance, but it’s more likely to be 42 or some thing.

If I had to predict, overall, I think we’re falling short of 45, but I’m still hoping of something.

And that might sound crazy, but if you think about it, we have 22 games after the break. If we somehow crazily won six out of seven before the All-Star break, we would only need to go 12-10 remaining. Now, it is not likely that we would win six out of seven, but I don’t think I’m doing the math wrong.

6 out of 7 is hard, but not impossible. That stretch looks medium, not hard.

 

[MHSL82]

Losers.

42-40 or worse, here we come.

41-41 or worse, here we come.

I hope not.
