Let's see.
We're sitting at 12-10 right now. After tomorrow night, we'll almost assuredly be 12-11.
There are 7 games left in December after that, then 27 games in January and February.
My guess is that Avery's return will help, but at the start of March I expect the Cs will have a record close to 31-26.
Being optimistic, I think the team will turn things on a bit for the last stretch of the season. Over the last 25 games, I would expect them to go 15-10 or so. Maybe even get 16 or 17 wins.
Final record: 46-36 . . . perhaps as high as 48 wins.
I expect that will leave them as the 5th or 6th seed. Probably a hard fought first round series, perhaps with a chance to fight in the second round. Probably similar to the 2009 post-season run.
