Well, we didn't even beat the awful teams not too long ago so this is certainly progress.

Yup. Step 1 is to beat the bad teams.

There are a lot of bad teams in this league. There are 17 games against Dallas, Phoenix, Sacramento, Atlanta, Chicago and Brooklyn alone. Win 15 of them, and they only need to play .500 ball against the rest of the league to get to 48 wins.

How many to get to 58 wins? I really need that car.

I had to work late last night, missed the game and just had a box score. Glad they won.

Judging by the length of this thread, I’m not the only one who couldn’t be bothered to watch

Great point and a reason to be optimistic. But alas, looking at the original schedule I had us winning 55 games...but that goes out the window when you give away 3 gimmes. The hope is we win the season series against Cleveland, Boston, Miami, Toronto and Detroit (i.e. better than 50%) !

The next week will tell us just about everything we need to know concerning this team.

@Miami, Wednesday 11/15
Miami, Friday 11/17
@Toronto, Sunday 11/19
@Milwaukee, Monday 11/20

I really do not expect they will win more than one game.

Toronto is usually a cakewalk, MIL are beatable. Miami is a worry though, if we drop both games (and thats a very real possibility) it could spill over into the next two games that should be wins.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

I'm somewhere between you and CCJ, but I like your optimism.

Back to back road games w/ an airplane ride between them is hard to be sure, but we have rest before the Toronto game. & we have a shot to beat Miami twice (not saying we will).

So... come on guys.... Lets not give games away before they're played! In any case, I'd be happy w/ 2-2 for a stretch like this.
