So Detroit beats Colorado again yesterday to take 2 of 3 from Colorado....

Colorado now 25-35 in their last 60 games. What is really bad about that stretch is that of those 60 games- only 13 were vs playoff teams currently- and only 9 were teams vs .500 or better. So only 22 games vs .500 or better teams in the stretch.

Colorado just is lucky that Arizona has had by comparison a brutal stretch. In their last 62 games- same dates- they've had 29 games vs playoff teams- and then another 7 vs .500 St Louis- so 36/62 games vs teams .500 or better. Yet they are 5 games over Colorado at 31-31.

Milwaukee has had a pretty tough schedule as well. In their last 60 games- same dates- they've had 20 games vs playoff teams. And then 11 vs winning teams right now. So 31/60 games vs teams .500 or better. They are 6 games over Colorado at 31-29.

looking down the stretch- all 3 teams have 29 games left.....
Colorado had 14 left vs playoff teams and 17 vs winning teams
Arizona and Milwaukee have 11 left vs playoff teams and 14 vs winning teams

So you get the feeling like Colorado has really lost an oppurtunity here with Arizona. And that's been this year- vs losing teams-
Arizona 44-22
Colorado 42-30
Huge difference there. You have to take advantage of your weak opponents. Arizona has. Colorado hasn't.
