4 wins or more would be solid. 6 would be great. 7+ and it's full on flock. Pels have yet to beat a good team (Cleveland?). Plenty of chances coming up.

.500 during that stretch is mandatory. We honestly should do better than that

TBH to qualify for playoffs Pels must beat also quality oponents/play off rivals.

All of those games are winnable, apart from GSW games, where Pels might have some luck.

Even spurs (maybe without Kawhi) can be beatable.

IMO 6-4 is a must. I can see 7 wins for Pels.

Doing well here is important. The Pels can prove they are a playoff team with this stretch. Do that and maybe you help convince teams like the Jazz and Clippers they’re done early. The sooner some of other 11 teams thinking playoffs drop out the better.

6-4 would be great. 5-5 would be acceptable.

This is why I've been saying Rondo has to elevate this team. If he doesn't they're a .500ish, just missed the playoffs level team. If Rondo does make a difference then they should go at least 5-5 and show that they are playoff caliber.

You would think Rondo being back and running the oofense it would decrease Cousins and Holiday’s turnovers; therefore, improving the team.

To me there are four tiers: Great, Good, Mediocre, and Bad.

Bad teams lose at home and on the road, regardless of opponent.

Mediocre teams beat bad teams at home, but lose most other matchups (vs good/great, home and away // vs bad away).

Good teams beat bad teams at home and on the road, good teams at home, but lose to good and great teams on the road.

Great teams can win any given night.

Pels are flirting with the "good team" category. Have to beat teams like Toronto, OKC, and Minny on your home floor. We'll see if they're good or mediocre after this stretch.

i tend to agree. maybe not miracle, but 5-5 would be good enough. those last 5 could easily be 1-4.

That has to be the hope. That and cleaning up possessions in general, getting guys cleaner looks and creating more rhythm on offense.

if you want to be a playoff team, then you have to go 5-5.
4-6 would be a let down, but understandable. anything less would be terrible. 6-4 would be awesome.

It's really about the first 5. You have to win at least 3 of those. You have to beat Toronto at home, one of OKC or SA at home, and Phoenix on the road. Winning 3 of those, and then stealing one at Denver would be something a good playoff team would do when playing well.

I know we won our last two, but we didn't play well in either of them against inferior opponents. This team better get ready to show up every night over these next 10.
Go 5-5 over these 10, and then you have a good shot at going 8-4 to close 2017 out at 21-15.
