Feels like this could be a pivotal road trip. I'd be fine with 4-2, but 5-1 should be the goal honestly. @SAC feels like the only toughest game in that stretch (and I predict a loss too). Besides that, we can afford just 1 more loss but if they go worse than 4-2 in this stretch then that'd be a problem. A lot of these teams though (ATL, HOU, UTA, etc.) just aren't that good.
I also think this is a huge road trip because, I've heard former players in sports and even people in the radio say this and I agree. When you go on a road trip and are with the guys for nearly 2 weeks before coming home, sometimes that's good time to improve chemistry, strengthen the bonds, figure stuff out, etc. with minimal family distractions or even outside distractions as you're away. This is an elite team that had a bit of a rough stretch recently. Maybe going out West can clear their heads a little and get them back into a groove again.
Or things could go haywire and more personal issues arise with the group. But I'd like to believe the former lol.
I know it's a slightly different team and a different coach, but even last year in March after a rough 1st half, they went on a road trip and won all 4 games against really good/playoff-caliber West teams. And they ended the season on a high note on a 10-3 stretch.
