3-7 if the Bucks are as bad as advertised otherwise 2-8.

2-8 again, although 1-9 wouldn't surprise me.

More victories.

Wow. That is an insane start to the season..Especially considering they are on a tough west coast trip (& all the injuries).

I am assuming Scottie won't be playing any of these games, but if everyone stays healthy, I am.going to go with 4-6..

Hoping for 0-10 but would be satisfied with 2-8

4-6

Unfortunately…. 5-5

prolly 1-9 or 3-7

I could see us winning 3 games with my most probable being the Bucks, one of the Pistons' games and the Pelicans (no Zion).

With some chance at just wearing down the Lakers & Heat (least likely). So I'm guessing anywhere between 3-5 (hopefully not) games. So our record might be 5-15 to 7-13 -- so I'll say down the middle 6-14. Just praying Darko keeps up the COTY 4th quarter playing calling *ahem so we can hopefully keep the 2-8 pace & remain stealth.

When is Barnes expected back?

I have taken the 3-7 option, so that my 5-15 will come to fruition, BUT

i believe they can go 6-4, everything depends on their late game exection. We are losing games, cause we play stupid the last few minutes, not because the opponent beats us.

Both games against the Pistons, Bucks (they are bad right now, not the good bad like us, just bad bad), Pacers and Pelicans +1 of the other 6 = 6 Wins

I don't see him returning any time soon...

It's interesting because when you look at our schedule everyone is expecting us to have a better record in the second half of the season. Yet the only months where it's not as hard is Jan, March and April. Our February is brutal. Clippers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Thunder, Rockets, 76ers, Cavaliers, Heat, Suns, Celtics, Pacers, Bulls. That’s who we face, going to be hard to get wins that month. December is just as brutal.

1-9.

Depends on Scottie, could return during that back end road trip.

He doesn't require surgery, although we'll find out more after his re-evaluation. He should be fine, but I imagine he'll be eased back into the lineup with no rush.

Bucks , Pistons, Pacers, Heat, Pelicans aren’t that good
Cavaliers at some point are due to lose

Sadly for the tank , I expect a 5-5 record . Hopefully I am wrong .

I felt the same way looking at the schedule. I kept thinking "when does this ease up"?

2-8 and I'm not entirely optimistic about that...
