To expand on what you said

The twelve games following it:

Nuggets
Kings
Sixers
@Rockets
Bucks
@Nuggets
@Wizards
@Magic
@Heat
Nets
Mavericks
Knicks

Should at worst be 7-5, but could definitely be 9-3. So ideally you want to split this ten game stretch, but even 4-6 is not the end of the world.

The biggest hiccup to me is we will be re-incorporating Rondo and adjusting right as we hit our toughest stretch of games. Which could go either way. If it goes smoothly teams will be stuck with little film on the improved lineup, if it is a bit rocky, it’s not the best time to be hitting a team slump and 3-7 is not out of the question.

Toronto off of a back to back, OKC is struggling, gobert is hurt, Phoenix sucks, we always play SA well, Portland got lucky Davis was hurt in the first 3 minutes, Denver is a toss up as is Minnesota. These are all doable aside from maybe at GS

Huge for us that TOR has the segababa...Need to beat those guys and get a win against a team with a record above .500. We have no business losing @PHX, but that is the only gimmie in this stretch.

No, only one is left, we just played 1 of the 2 Saturday.

We're still in a tough part of the schedule though where the Pels need to win games against other playoff caliber team if they are going to make the playoffs themselves. Here are the next 10

Minnesota
@ Utah
@ Portland (road back to back for Pels)
Golden State
Denver
Sacramento
Philly
@ Houston (back to back for Pels)
Milwaukee
Denver

With any luck the Utah and Denver games will be easier due to injury to key players. Again, they need to be at least .500 if not better in this stretch if they want to be a playoff team.

We are 3-3, with this left:

Min
@Utah
@Por
Gs

Any chance we get to 6-4? Going to be a touch stretch. Hopefully we can steal one from Por or GS.

3-3 thus far. Absolutely have to beat Minny at home. Should be able to beat Utah without Gobert. We never play Portland well for some reason. Maybe GS is resting everyone but regardless, it's high time we beat those dipshits.
3-1 in next 4 finishing out this 10 game stretch 6-4. That would make me happy.

Portland is @ Portland which is always tough and it's the second night of a back to back. I'm not saying they can't win but it'd be a surprising win. The same with Golden State, you just have to bring your A game for 48 minutes to have a chance and this team can't do that yet. We're hopefully looking at 2-2 and 5-5 in that stretch.

That's the most on the fence article ever and it's still might be the most positive from a national writer this year

We jump Minny in the standings with a W tonight, but then you follow that up with Jazz and Portland, two other teams we need to fight for a playoff spot.


Hoping for at least 2-1 over the next 3
