I say we will win 5 more games. However, I'd rather win 1. Just enough to break up a 23 game losing streak.

It may come down to the last one. Let's hope Chicago doesn't rest starters.

I think 5 wins is our minimum. Our pace for beginning of the year was something like 25-28 wins, we even kept that up for quite awhile after Andy went down. We just aren't bad enough to keep losing this much.


What we really need is for one of those teams to get hot.

Also, just saw that Lopez is going to be out longer and not because of his sprained ankle but it turns out his first injury hasn't healed all the way. I wouldn't be surprised if they pull a warriors and just decide to sit him the rest of the season.

18 more games, I wouldn't mind going on 23 game losing streak then.

I know it's a long time from now, but if you guys land Anthony Davis. Wow

[B Mac]

Great work Rise Against. Sure beats my old Lottery Standings threads.

[Manny Phresh]

Good thread.

Glad I suggested it... Kudos.

We may want to add the Lakers on here with the last 10 games or so........apparently they are 4-4 since getting Sessions.

Hopefully Clippers and Memphis can jump ahead of them. Which would give us 22-24 or something like that. Maybe a Doron Lamb or Royce White.

[Rise Against]

Updated with the Lakers pick watch. There are still 15 games left for them. If the season ended today, we would be picking at 25.

[B Mac]

6th!!!!!

[ScramboD8]

5th?

[Rise Against]

This is wonderful. The Cavs moved up to the 6th spot with a Kings victory over the Jazz. Thank you DeMarcus Cousins. They now have the same record as the Pistons. The Nets just won by 2 against the Warriors. So we are not that far along from getting the 5th.

As far as the Lakers pick ... We would still be picking at 25.

Yes. But we're playing so bad right now. We're so close to sneaking to the 4th and 22nd picks with a little Laker slump.

[TheOUTLAW]

Cavs making a push going 1 - 9 in their last 10. I could actually see them only winning 1 or 2 more games this season. They are playing that badly (and they keep signing guys from the d league).

[Cavsfan9000]

now 5th place

Godspeed, Cavs! Godspeed!
