The Next 11 

Post#1 » by ElectricMayhem » Mon Jan 11, 2016 4:26 am

As of today, we are tied for the 6th seed with Indiana. While it's a nice place to be in, don't get too cozy. Our next 11 games includes games against the top 3 teams in the NBA and 7 road games. Charlotte, who was in our position a mere two weeks ago, ran into a similarly tough stretch and injuries, leading them to drop 7 in a row. How will we deal with this stretch?

The Next 11:
1/13: vs. San Antonio L
1/15: @Memphis L
1/17: vs. Golden State W
1/19: vs. Chicago L
1/21: @Houston W
1/22: @New Orleans L
1/24: @Denver L
1/26: @Utah W
1/28: vs. Philadelphia W
1/30: vs. Cleveland L
1/31: @Toronto L

I see a lot of winnable games there as well. Or games we shouldn't lose like we did at the beginning of the season anyways.

A lot of these games can go either way, I could see us winning 6 of the 11 games.

Wins & losses are irrelevant to me still (said it pre-season)

This season is about development IMO

As long as we don't throw away 3 of the next 11 I'll be happy. The first western swing we gave away a couple.

And we seem to be in the habit of starting slow lately. That needs to change

I think we get anywhere from 3 to 6, depending on how dialed in we are and how effective we are at those winnable road games.

Sounds right. Hard to predict when you are a young, inconsistent team. We could beat the Spurs then lose to a bottom feeder. I voted 5. If be happy with that.

Anything above four wins is gravy.

it's not often that i get to watch full games these days but i'll definitely be watching the spurs game tomorrow, i'll also try to watch the warriors, cavs and raps games.

looking forward to seeing how we handle the better teams in the league.

hoping for six. i think thats realistic. we could win more but we cant go out and blow this stretch. its tough. should help the team see where we can be if we play well.

I think we will get 7, but I could also see 3-4. Should be a good test for this team tho. San Antonio for sure hasn't forgotten that buzzer beater either

A miracle happens and we somehow win 5.

That's a pretty long and grinding stretch.

Would definitely cash out with five wins right now and run like hell. Anything better will get me seriously fired up.

It should be kinder to the Pistons than it was to the Hornets, if that's any consolation.

Well, after two games, the two people who thought we'd end up 11-0 or 10-1 have turned out to be wrong.

if we get 4 we're lucky. but I understand we're too focused about Drummond going to Toronto and play that f***ing circus game
