oh don't worry the schedule only gets easier for us as the season goes on. Teams like Milwaukee and Miami have had relatively easy schedules, now they're hitting the tough stretch of it.

The schedule really sucks. We won't play 86 games, while others play 82, will we?

we always own the heat yet they always do so much better than us

Great thread.

Just some ideas on what I would like to see added if possible...

A graphic showing the next upcoming 4 or 5 games.
A Graphic showing just the Atlantic division standings.
A race to the MVP type graphic showing where Bosh stands when it comes to PPG and RPG.

Just a couple of ideas... Maybe some other people have ideas too to make this thread really great.

Milwaukee really took advantage of their cream-puff schedule and of the opposition's indifference to Jennings.

Now they've lost 8 of 9 and are slowly settling back to where they should rightfully be... and Jennings has been extremely meh since his gaudy start.

We really got screwed with the scheduling early in the season - less days of rest between games and a rough western road trip against good teams.

Things will only get better.

Appreciate the thread OP.

Reke Evans has just as good a chance, if not better than Jennings, to win ROY-- as of right now.

lol Good eye.

While the east seems weak at the end we are looking at the top group looks quite sold.

At any rate the Raps need a good December to reach any sort of respectability. That game in ATL really left a bad taste in my mouth. I am still not enthused.

Unless you're finishing 1st in the Atlantic, the division standings are pointless. I say cut the Atlantic standings out and just show the full East standings.

Very true. And even though Miami had a nice road trip i dont think they can keep it up. Spots 5-8 is there for the taking.

Next 4 are tough games....

It could be 10-18 for this team...

Charlotte will be 11-13, 2-2 in the next four
Pistons will lose at least 3 games, 11-15, 1-3 in the next four

Bottom line, there is a home-and-home series between Detroit and Toronto, followed by a game against Charlotte, which could turn these standings upside down. Still, this team will have hard time beating out Miami/Charlotte/Milwaukee (with Redd)/Detroit (with Rip/Prince) for the 5th spot, as was previously expected.....
