Sixers: the Run home
Checking out the remaining 7 games of 08/09, what do people think is a reasonable W/L expectation?
Grizz is obviously a variable at this point, but what would Scotty consider successful between now and the post season?
We'd expect to get Cairns away this Friday (lock up your ponytails).
Backing up against Townsville on the Saturday will be a test, and would see us leap frog them on the ladder if the go down to the Breakers on the Thursday.
Surely we'd have to rectify the New Year's blemish by burying the Blaze here on the 21st - and convincingly (if Rillie motivates them and they turn up).
Wildcats at home ten days later is shaping up like a good 'un. Cats will have played in Sydney on the Wednesday, 3 days earlier.
Dragons away at Hisense followed by the Breakers here three days later remains the two biggest obstacles for the regular season. Fortunately, NZ will have played the night before in Wollongong.
We'd want to go over the Gong (away) in the last game of the season and go into the play-offs with a W and some confidence...although it will be Friday the 13th...anything's possible. Chris Blakemore may rise from the dead and go on a zombie-elbow carnage spree.
So 5 and 2 from here? Leaves us at 17-13 for the year. Or is that optimistic?
