so to get to 65 wins we need to go 18-2. :thumbup: Lets do it!!!
As has been said many times before . . . and be left with a team with a spectacular record, but running on fumes for the post-season?

Especially a team that plays better on the road than at home.

We're getting closer and closer to the season that counts -- the 2nd season.

Let's go for that, don'tcha think?

I won't feel comfortable until the wins needed to get to 60 is less than the losses we can have to get to 60. :D What we need in general is to rip off about 12 wins in a row to get a lead on San Antonio! :thumbup:

To win games we have to be left on fumes? your the only one who has been complaing about the suns regular season success. we have to play the games anyways why not just win them and go into the 2nd season with the confidence to win! Don'tcha think?

Potentially interesting side note:

When this thread was started, the Suns needed to go 20-10 (.667) over their remaining games to reach 60 wins. Through the first 12 of those 30 games, they have gone 8-4 (which is also .667), leaving 12-6 for the remaining 18.

So, .667 is the magic number :)

I'll wait until seeing what the Kings do tonight, in case it's possible to lower the magic number further. (Your percentages are wrong.)

Um, that is 1-14. :)

Ok changed it...it's going to be a little harder now :( Oh well I think we can do it :thumbup: We still have to get to 54 wins to get to Skorps maximum range which would be 3-12 25%!

What happens afterward, on Skorp's watch? Can we go negative on the count?

Duncan went down. Anything can happen (God forbid). I just thought we'd have more games lost to injury because of the pace at which we play and a (formerly) weak bench.

I did indeed predict 52-55 wins. Maybe that comes from yearly predicting 6-10 for the Cardinals. The Cards have lowered all my expectations for AZ teams.

I think so, unless we're both making the same mistake somehow.
