skid, skid, skid, skid......

Looking forward to Indiana actually. Spite our skid our last game we looked ok minus 3pts % and frankly. We are due for a turnaround there bigtime.

I think we win out through December. Franchero about to fuse.

With Carter starting, I'm not as sure what we'll look like

Franchero is due. I have no idea where Franchero came from. I am rolling with it.

On paper next 3 are "good chance" followed by Suns wanting to make another championship level statement on us. If we go 3/1 over the next 4 games we have a .500 December. Which ironically puts us around where we were hoping we would be at the end of the last season.

Haha, me either. It reminds me of "Franchise", which makes it really work in my mind. Franz and Banchero are the franchise players = Franchero

I like our chances tonight and vs PHI without Embiid...grabbing one of the last two is far from impossible as well. Having Suggs, Ingles, and Isaac at healthy levels would sure help.

I said 5-9, sadly, I was probably right...but 6-8 vs this schedule would be strong...now look at January

[VFX]

Orlando closes out the month with all W’s and goes 8-6 as predicted.

yes Yes YES

I went with 7-7 and still think that’ll be the case.

[drsd]

So far 6-7. One more win for parity!

New York is the best win of the month. Beating the Suns on the road will be up there, though.

6-8 wasn’t bad considering we had some key injuries. Good job on the team for not going off the rails.

Not bad though below the board's expectations. Slight underperformance is understandable like you mentioned.

Optimism is always free....

This January so far is rough stuff for our young guys.

It was what many of us predicted. Given the 4-game slide in this, to carve out 6 wins was a good result in my opinion.
