Overall: 20-10, I think we get 50 wins as the team comes out with a new attitude after the break. we will struggle with the early west coast trip but will reel off a 10 game win streak against weak teams on road followed by 7 game homestand. wins later on may change though depending on if we have any competition for the 4th seed. we could possibly hand in the last few games against some scrappy teams. Overall i think our team will show us they have a lot of fight in them that they havent been showing since before the new year.
season will break down as:
20-10 great start/ came out with purpose
11-11 average middle/ struggle to keep up intensity night in and night out
20-10 great final push/ head into playoffs hot
total: 51-31 solid #4 seed
