Hornets second 10 games:

11/18: ATL W 100-96
11/19: @NOP L 116-121 (OT)
11/21: MEM L 90-105
11/23: SAS L 114-119
11/25: @NYK L 111-113 (OT)
11/26: NYK W 107-102
11/28: MEM W 104-85
11/29: DET L 89-112
12/1: DAL W 97-87
12/3: MIN L 120-125 (OT)

8 home games, lots of struggling teams (2x NYK, DAL, DET, 2x MEM, NOP), but 3 B2Bs.

Predictions on our record over this span? Huge win tonight.

[Hornet Mania]

I think 7 wins is a realistic goal for this stretch, especially with Atlanta already down. San Antonio is an L, but every other game is winnable.

[amcoolio]

8-2. Winning against SAN Antonio. Losing 1 against Memphis and Minny

[BigSlam]

9-1

Yeah, I said it.

sucks the Pelicans are getting Holiday back one game before we play them. They are a completely different team when Holiday is healthy.

Holiday might not have the stamina for a back-to-back yet.

[Zombiesonics]

8-2

[yosemiteben]

I'll go bold and go 8-2 as well.

[Braggins]

6-4 or 7-3

[BigSlam]

9-1

Yeah, I said it.


"BBMF'ers"

Well ****.

That 1-2 start isn't ideal. We better have some better focus against SAS. Glad we have a bunch of home games coming up, we need to get things back on track.

[yosemiteben]

Obviously 2-4 isn't great here, but not all terrible. Two OT losses, one on the second night of a B2B, and one very competitive game against SAS. The only bad loss was against MEM, not because they were an unworthy opponent but because we looked terrible in that game.

During this 6 game span, our DRTG has been 106.6 (20th overall during that span) and our ORTG has been 103.3 (18th overall), good for a negative net rating of -3.3. Not great Bob.

[HornetJail]

We should win 3 of our next 4. Dallas and Reggie-less Detroit should be easy wins for a legit team, no excuses. I'm optimistic about tonight's Memphis game, and believe we'll beat Minnesota since they're off to a pretty rocky start. Wouldn't be surprised if we're riding a 5-game win streak by Saturday night.

5-5, lose tomorrow @ Pelicans on 2nd night of back to back. Lose vs Spurs, Lose one of the two vs Knicks, lose one of two vs Grizzlies. Lose on 2nd night of back to back vs Pistons. Wins vs Hawks, one vs Knicks, one vs Grizzles, Mavs and Wolves.

I am 7-0 in this prediction thread. That means we'll lose tomorrow to the Pistons.

I was a 4th Q meltdown away from being 10-0 on my predictions.

[yosemiteben]

Catching up a bit as I've been out of the loop a little. Wrapping up this run of games, we finished 4-6. Bleh.

[chabber]

Wolves game was OT too. 3 OT losses stings, especially considering who we were playing.

[yosemiteben]

Yeah, flip all those OT games to wins and we are sitting at 16-6 and 2nd in the EC, essentially tied with CLE for 1st.
