10 Wins to a winning season for the first time in forever.

Can they do it?

My kool-aid fueled predictions for the home stretch:

Sat 15 vs San Antonio L
Wed 19 vs Denver W
Fri 21 @ Orlando L
Sat 22 vs New Jersey W
Mon 24 @ Boston L
Wed 26 vs Chicago W
Fri 28 vs Phoenix W
Sun 30 @ Cleveland L
Tue 01 @ New Jersey W
Fri 04 @ Atlanta W
Sat 05 vs Atlanta W
Wed 09 vs Detroit L
Fri 11 vs Indiana W
Sat 12 @ Washington W
Mon 14 vs Cleveland W
Wed 16 @ Charlotte W

I guess I have them winning 11, which would put them over .500.

I'll take it. What do you think?

Edit: My math-fu failed me, they only need 10 wins for a +500 year.

I'm all about the Kool-Aid but I think we have 9 wins left in us.

I find it amusing that you have us losing to all the top teams. Teams that we've been competive with.

RECENT WINS:
Phoenix
Detroit
San Antonio


These aren't teams you beat by luck. These are teams you have to play 48 minutes to win. If the 76ers continue to attack the paint the way they have in the half-court. If they continue to get out on the break and force the issue against teams like they have.

Then quite frankly the rest of this pathetic schedule is winnable.

Yessir. I think if they can beat Denver Wednesday, they never get south of .500 again this year. Pretty sweet when you look where they were a couple months ago.

On a related note, ESPN Power Rankings has them all the way to 11th!!

That's above teams like Denver and Orlando.

Looks like there's kool-aid getting drunk all over the place.

I could see us going 12-3 or 11-4 over those last 15 games (after the San Antonio game).
