The 'still winless on the road' Thread

BanndNDC · Post #21 » by **BanndNDC** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 5:55 pm

Records:
Most consecutive road losses = 43 (over 2 seasons)
Sacremento 11/21/90 - 11/22/91

Most consecutive road losses to start a season = 29
Dallas 11/0/92 - 3/13/93

(we only get to add one loss from last season to the streak)

Now that the Wizards are in sole possession of the 2nd longest winless streak from the start of the season, the pressure of avoiding that distinction is off for a minute. Now's the time to strike. Dallas is the place to strike, leaving the Dallas franchise in possession of the longest streak. Please Wizards, don't go on strike. Get it out of the way before the pressure of actually setting a new record approaches.

Well if the Cavs lose to the LAC tonight, it going to be 0-27 run vs the Wiz 0-25 road record.

Place your bets. Place your bets.

I doubt it, even WNBA teams would be favored by double digits against the Cav's in Cleveland.

I'd certainly take this bet.

Cavs tied with LAC 90 to 90 in the fourth.

CAVs up 120 -114 at the 1:12 mark

Toilet bowl is in serious jeopardy.

Twan refuses to let this be a toilet bowl

B Davis with the T and is rejected for his second T. Bobbie at the line. 119-126 with :13 to go.

AJ season high 35 pts.

THE CAVS WIN. THE CAVS WIN. THE CAVS WIN. THE CAVS WIN.

Seriously.. the scene in Cleveland tonight for that Win puts the confetti for the Wizards 1st Round playoff victory in 05 to shame.

Cavaliers ... won!?!??

They actually played well.

hands11 · Post #35 » by **hands11** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 3:48 am

AJ, Gee and Booby

We don't stand a chance.

Hey, Hickson is starting to get it going. Wow, is he really playing center ?
http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/players/p ... yerId=3437

Guess it is hard to win without a center in this league.

V out for the year with an ankle.

TheBigThree · Post #36 » by **TheBigThree** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 4:44 am

Mo is back, Hickson will dominate Blatche. The team also believes they can win now.

I'm going with Cavs by 15+

I think the cavs win increases our chances. No desperation, they won't be embarrassed as much to lose, and the emotional high of an OT win Friday night leaves them flat Sunday. I just wish we were playing them Saturday instead.

Yep, the monkey is off their back. We've still got our monkey. Is it a helpful monkey or a harmful monkey? Im not monkey expert so i guess we have to wait and see.

Who knows if we win any given game.

That said, I think your point is one track. Playing into OT to pull out a win after all those loses, it isn't likely they win back to back. after that. They will not be fighting as hard as the did to get that monkey off their backs. They have no center. McGee will likely go off on them. He loves to play against team with weak centers.

I'm sure a stat guy can work those numbers.

How often does a team win back to backs after losing.

0-10
10-15
15-20
20 plus in a row.

NJ and Minny probably ripped off some long losing streaks last year. Did either win back to back after that ?

So has a team ever gone from first place in the league to last in one season ? They have already lost 49 more games than last year.

That Cavs win ruined everything!
