Upcoming Schedule is REALLY SOFT, but it won't last.....

[keevsnick]

The next six games....

11/13 @ CLE
11/15 @ CLE
11/17 @ ATL
11/19 vs LAL
11/20 vs OKC
11/22 vs HOU

So CLE will be without Sexton for both of those games, and possibly with Markkanen and Love for one or both. Then you go onto ATL who is playing terribly, has a 4-9 record and has lost six straight. Then LAL at home who is only slightly above .500 at 7-6, but has had a creampuff schedule playing a ridiculous 10 of 13 games at home this year. Lebron will likely be back for that game, still they aren't as good as most though they would be. Then OKC and HOU at home  should be layups. Even if Jaylen doesn't play any of those games, the c's should be favored in all of them. 

But after that things get a lot harder.....

11/24 vs BRK
11/26 @ SAS
11/28 @ TOR
12/1 vs PHI
12/3 @ UTA
12/4 @ POR
12/7 @ LAL
12/8 @ LAC
12/10 @ PHX
12/13 vs MIL
12/17 vs GSW
12/18 vs NYK
12/20 vs PHI
12/22 vs CLE
12/25 @ MIL
12/27 @ MIN
12/28 vs LAC
12/31 vs PHX

So the c's have like 3 games they'll be favored in? @ SAS, @ MIN, vs CLE. And toss ups vs NYK and @ TOR. That's 13/18 games I think you're an underdog. Obviously that doesn't mean you can't win more than that, but that's a rough schedule. 

So what's the point of this post? The c's have got to rack up some wins here in the near term, got to build some momentum heading into December or risk getting buried.

Assuming we have brown there are a few more games we will be slight favorites or a pick em than you are mentioning, clippers, Suns, bucks at home all fall in this category and perhaps at blazers. west coast trip will be very difficult

It depends on how we're playing and the teams relative level of health. MIL and PHO were NBA finals teams last year, i think they are clear favorites against the C's even at home assuming relatively equal health. The vs LAC game is the second night of a back to back, as is the @ POR game and the vs NYK game, that hurts the c's chances a fair bit in all those games.
