60 win watch

[elindholm]

Record after today's game: 40-12, .769
Remaining record needed to reach 60 wins: 20-10, .667

I'll try to remember to update this after every game. Unless someone else beats me to it, that is.

 

[Chaplin]

That's it. With the creation of this thread, our chances of hitting 60 wins?

About as much chance as hockey season being saved.

Why worry about 60? The Suns have won 63 before...

Why worry about 60? The Suns have won 63 before...

Because it's a fun thing to root for until the playoffs. Besides, 60 wins for this team, this year, would be quite a feat, seeing how young they are and how new many of them are to playing along side one another.

 

[elindholm]

The Suns have won 63 before...

Their best is 62-20, in '92-'93 of course. This team doesn't have the composure of that one, but I agree, it would be nice if they could match the mark.

Yawn, a sign it's time for bed.

I jumped ahead in my thinking.

Meant to say, they've won 62 before, why not count down, or up, to 63?

Goodnight.

don't worry Brian. 63 wasn't their best season victory total... it was the number of offensive rebounds they gave up to Golden State last night.

You just mixed up your numbers a little bit.

Thanks for doing this, by the way.

Don't thank me yet -- I already almost forgot to do the first update!

The schedule is supposed to be "easier" after the All-Star break, so the 63 mark may be attainable anyway.

24-4 gets them the record for the most improved record from one season to the next, surpassing the SA Spurs.

That's cool, but I wouldn't count on it happening.

 

[Skkorpion]

I'm sticking to my 52 to 55 win prediction until proven wrong. 60 wins is attainable but unlikely.

 

[PhxGametime]

I predict 23-5...

More likely than 52 or 55 wins... I wish Vegas would give those odds...I'd put a big chunk down

skorp, you really think there's a chance, or in your prediction a probability, that the suns go 10 - 17 the rest of the way? wow.

 

[cardsunsfan]

Skkorp you really think we're only going to win 37%-44% of the rest of our games?! You do know we've won 76.4% of our games right? We'd have to lose about twice as many games as we normally do to meet your mark and we've already played 67% of our schedule..hell we would have play significantly worse if we were to only win 60 games... So I really don't get why it's highly unlikey to reach 60 games. If Vegas were to have a spread on the Suns season right now I bet it would be a few games over 60.. you would get great odds if you believed in the prediction you have...

you got that one inbetween my posts now it sounds like overkill

It all depends on Steve Nash's health. Barbosa at the point last night showed us that he's really a 2 guard, not a distributor. But we knew that already.

If I'm king, Nash doesn't play until the leg is 100% healthy.

 

[cardsunsfan]

The worst I see us doing is 17-10 winning 63% of our games and ending up at 59-23 and I find that unlikely. Our schedule looks easy to me. I predict 22-5 winning 81% of the rest of our games and ending up 64-18 unless Nash doesn't play.

How does your worst case scenario end up against the teams we play? A lot of the teams we play are horrible. well under 50% or under 50% in the east which is really bad, I even gave more wins to teams that are around 50% and than I gave us. If your scenario happens we have to play well under %50 ball against teams that are under 50% and many against teams in the sorry East. Even without Nash I can't see us losing alot of these games...a lot of bad teams yet to play...

Without Steve Nash I could easily see the Suns losing to Denver, Philadelphia, Minnesota, the Lakers, Houston, Sacramento, Denver, and even one of the really crappy teams. I don't think any game is a sure thing or even a likely win without him. Of course I don't expect him to be out the entire remainder of the schedule either.

As long as he plays in most of the games I figure the worst-case scenario is a . 500 record the rest of the way.
