If we indeed go 6-2 in this stretch we’ll get to 11-5 at the 16th game, which would cheer up Brian because that’s on pace to… 56 WINS! 😉 Let’s do it, team! 🙂

So my plan was like this:

For the next 8 games, we have: Bucks, home and away, 76ers and Hornets, away. To win one, at least. And then we have the must win games at MSG, against Pacers (revenge!), Cavs, Magic and Rockets. I think we’ll be 5-3 again. What do you guys think?

Right now, we’re 2-1. Funny enough we played 2 hard games, and we won both. And played only one must win game, and lost. How odd?
Well, if we win one more of the hard ones (vs Bucks, @ Hornets), i think we’ll go 6-2 in this stretch. Because the remaining must win are exactly that… we must get revenge from the Pacers, and also we can’t let the Magic win twice at MSG (right? right?). The Rockets are one of the worst teams in the league, i don’t know if BBA would easily come up with a name for a loss against them.

So we’re tied for 5th, with Nets and Cavs, only 0.5 games away from the 2nd seed, a tie between Heat, Bulls and Wizards. Behind us we have the Raptors, 1 game away. And then there’s a gap, as Bucks and Celtics are 2.5 games behind, and the Hawks are 3 games behind… shouldn’t they be some kind of powerhouse? Maybe Trae and the new rules are the reason for this.

So yesterday, i looked at the Nets-Bulls score and it was 78-74 in the final minute of the 3rd quarter. I thought “The Bulls are trying but it won’t be easy”. Well, to my surprise, this morning i checked the final score and it was 95-118 (4th quarter: 17-42) !? :O This has been a strange year, until now.

Jokic will probably get a game for that one.

Seems like so many guys on this team are streaky players… but maybe that’s just because it’s still early in the season. Also, the new ball!

But seriously, I think things will even out by game twentysomerhing, and then we’ll really see where this team stands. If RJ and Quick can improve on last season, we will be dangerous.

Insane shot from Towns but the Wolves still lost… Brandon Clarke and Melton with really nice statlines.
