We about to win 4 outta our next 5

I think the Clippers game was a bit of a turnaround game. Here's to hoping Spencer continues getting minutes when Jennings gets back

Just for reference... the next 5 are:
Vs. Bucks
Vs. Warriors
Vs. Lakers
@Celtics
Vs. 76ers

Sure, we have potential to win 4, but we'll be lucky to win 2. :lol:

I'm not so confident about wins and losses right now. We have a steep hill to climb. I'm mainly focused on internal improvements. We should dominate the boards in virtually every match up, but we don't. We look pretty good on defense, but we could be so much better.

Our first 15 games have been a disappointing but largely expected. The team has some deeply ingrained bad habits. We have to be broken down before we can be built up. I hope we finish out this first grouping of 20 games with a strong showing and begin the next grouping of 20 with a significant swing in the right direction.

I like what Drummond has given us in the last two games, we need more of that. His performance gives me hope. I liked seeing Jennings turn things around after a crappy start to the season. Monroe has been a rock for us, minus the Clippers game (what happened?).

2-3 is reasonable. 1-4 is more likely.

The last 3 in the stretch are the ones I would consider winnable on paper.

We're going to get destroyed by the Warriors, and right now the Bucks have the 4th best record in the East...

I'm scared to death of the 76ers... if they haven't won a game yet when we play them, oh my god... it could be a disaster. Imagine us being their first win after a record-breaking worst start in NBA history.

The most frustrasting things to me is the six yrs. of losing and seeing teams that we were better then all of a sudden not only better, but way better then us. As hard as it will be I,m going to try to throw out the last six yrs. and judge this team on a first yr. of a 3 to 5 yr. rebuild basis . It hurts less that way , dosen't mean if ran into Joe somewhere I still wouldn't want to kick him in the you know where tho.

They did it last year against us, I can't imagine why it won't happen again this season.

Just always assume the worst when it comes to our team and streaks. Recent history so far approves it.

as far as i'm concerned, as long as Smith is starting every game is 90% likely to be a loss. Everything has changed now that SVG has shown he will sacrifice 1/3rd of the game with a stupid lineup that destroys rhythym and stagnates the offense and the defense.
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

last year the big 3 lineup could steal some wins because they had a turnover based defense. With this defense (which is better) it doesn't generate much offense. the offense is all alone. so they are guaranteed to suck with the big 3 playing 1/3rd of the game.

0-2, and Kobe has always held a vendetta against Detroit since 2004. I'd bank on this moving to 0-3.
