This is it. Make or break time. Now or never. Lol lord help us.
Pretty much the season on the line.
Opponents nothing special either. Need to win 7 or 8 or playoffs are a pipe dream. Seems impossible with the way we've been performing
Let's goooo!!!! I still have faith

We're doomed, DOOMED!!!!

If the heartless play continues, it doesn't matter where the games are held.

The last month in a half has been "make or break time" on this board. Then we suck and everyone says "this next stretch is make or break time"
...geez

...but I have a good feeling this time, this home stretch is our make or break time.

We're 42 games into the season. We were 11-10 before RJ came back. Since then, 7-14. Of the first 21 games, 12 of them were against teams that currently have a winning record. Since RJ has been back, we've played 10 games against teams with winning records.

The chemistry and effort has been lacking since RJ came back. Is it all his fault? No, but there's no denying this team started its decline when RJ came back into the rotation.

I'm willing to concede that there were some growing pains when he returned, and perhaps he wasn't 100% for a good stretch of these 21 games. It's been said before, but I really believe these next 11 games will tell us what we need to know. The schedule is more favorable, RJ should be 100% at this stage, and the rotations should be ironed out. A blowout road loss to Utah on a B2B without KCP is not enough for me to write this team off. However, if they still can't get it going with a cushy schedule over the next few weeks, I think a trade of some sort is in order.

I can't imagine the seats are going to be full of hyped fans after the last month of apathy this team has had on full display.

I hate you've been right about this team, team might be a bad word. This next stretch tho, we got em

I would agree that these next few weeks before the all-star break are going to be a pretty big factor in shaping our team's future. I think if we continue to play below .500 ball Stan will have to make some type of move. If we can turn things around and start winning 3 out of every 5 games or more than I think we stay with what we've got this year and just try to get healthy and get into that 6th or 7th seed. We have an unusually large amount of rest coming up as we only havev 4 games over the next two weeks basically.

Jan 18 v Atlanta (two nights rest)
Jan 21 v Washington (two nights rest)
Jan 23 v Sacramento
Jan 28 @ Miami (4 nights rest)
Jan 30 @ Boston
Feb 1 v New Orleans
Feb 3 v Minnesota
Feb 4 @ Indiana B2B
Feb 6 v Philly
Feb 8 v LA Lakers
Feb 10 v San Antonio
Feb 12 @ Toronto
Feb 13 @ Milwaukee B2B
Feb 15 v Dallas

I would bet we win 7. Wolves, Sixers, Lakers, Mavs and Heat should be a sure W. We must grab a couple of Hawks, Wizards, Kings and Pelicans. I see 0 chance of winning in Boston, Indiana, Toronto and Milwaukee.

This is the teams last chance to right the ship. I wish I could say I have faith in them doing but they have just been so bad since Reggie has been back and Drummond is just getting dumber by the day.
