Next 6 games sure looks like an opportunity to get ahead before things get tough again.

lol wish full thinking. Although they are win able games - we'll probably lose 2-3 games - Kings, NOP and maybe Mavs.

Much like last few seasons - we'll lost games we should win, but win games we should totally lose much like GSW game, it's been like that the last few seasons - I'm hope I'm wrong and we win at least 4 games out of next 6, but even we win half I'll be happy.

I'd expect at least 4-2. I won't be happy with escaping with a 3-3. Among those teams, Kings and Suns are playing the best. We should be able to take the Mavs who are playing terribly and are without Dirk. I also like that they got their first win just because they were bound to get a W soon. NOP is still also winless so good chance there, but then again law of averages will catch up, and hopefully not with us. Obviously shooting for 6-0, but I'd be happy to go 5-1 but will expect 4-2.

I think if we beat the Mavs on Tuesday then we'll go 5-1 in that stretch, if we lose to the Mavs then 3-3.

Losing Larry for a couple of games could be big...

4-2 is realistic and doable. Mavs are a hot mess without Dirk. NO has Unibrow and absolutely jack **** behind him. Nets without Lin will be floundering hard.

I got us pegged for losses against SacTo and Minny. Boogie gonna go ham on us trying to show how he's a premier C worth trading for. Minny has alot of young talent who i feel is more advanced than ours and will edge us out.

However it isnt completely out of the realm of possibility to get 6 in a row here. These are all VERY beatable teams and Luke should know that a big winning streak here will help with morale ALOT.

Easily can go 5-0 the way they have been playing but I think they'll go 2-3 with losses in Dallas, Sacramento, and Minnesota.

Luke is going to experiment again. So i am not expect 6-0. He is going to keep trying out his strategies on the road. We are going to see games where loose just like the our 3 loses so far.

I think we win both home games, get one on the road and lost the other two on the road. I think we can beat Pelicans for sure, that will be the only game on the schedule I'm super confident about, they are just so bad, a well rounded team like the lakers can just let davis have his and shut down everyone else.

Our schedule is brutal right after that. Spurs, bulls, thunder, warriors twice and hawks? lol.

Lakers might be the favorites in all 6 games

The were favorites over the Suns

They can survive without nance for a couple games. I wa surprised at Ingram getting pf mins
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team

Mavs game should be the easiest win. They're flat out horrible without Dirk. The only game they won was in OT at home against the Bucks and they only scored 86 points even with the extra 5 minutes. Since it's a home game i'm not that worried. I think Sac and Minny are where we get the L's tho.

Yes, and they will play against us without Dirk and probably without Deron.
Luke Walton should know how exspose Bogut and H.Barnes weakness
DLO against Barea or Seth Curry - post up as a nice weapon!
We were favorites in LAL-PHX game. Now our L will be major upset.

How does that make you better than the Lin, Gallo, and Wil fans who root for them over NY?

It is strange how we lost to the mavs which was probably the most winnable game of this stretch.

I think we'll win the Pelicans and Brooklyn game. Lose the Minnesota game.

so glad we beat Kings - didn't see it due to being at work, but still I'm gladI'm wrong in my 3 game loss, but yes we need to beat Pelicans, but got a feeling we'll win this game and then lose to a team we should win.
