If we are ever going to turn it around it will be now.
If we can somehow beat the Celtics we'll have a nice schedule to turn it around.
We're playing the Nets,Jazz,Wizards,Lakers,Wolves,Raptors,Kings and Hornets.
All of those teams are very beatable,even the Lakers because we're playing at home.
Let me get this straight.
This is our chance to turn the season around. If we keep playing poorly during this stretch there's a huge chance we might miss the playoffs because schedule gets significantly harder after.
We need to go 6-2 in those 8 games.
I'm not very optimistic but this stretch will tell us a lot about where we stand.
you guys are all operating under the assumption that they will keep playing like they have been (or even worse). i think theyll start to play better and i hope you guys wont be talking about how good they are after they win a couple of games

Look at the next 8 games:
Nets,Jazz,Wizards,Lakers,Wolves,Raptors,Kings and Hornets
If we don't go at least 6-2 in those 8 you can write this season off because our schedule is as tough as it gets after that.
In out 12 of 16 games we're playing against: Mavs,Hawks,Heat,Celtics,Mavs,Spurs,Sixers,Bulls, Blazers,Pacers,Pacers and Sixers.
And other 4 are against the Nets,Bucks,Cavaliers and Raptors. (we lost against 3 of those 4 teams and we even have a chance of losing against the Nets tonight).
6-2 is a must which would put us at 14-17.
If we go .500 during that 8 game stretch we would be 12-19 before the next 16 games in which we have a huge chance of not even being close to .500.
With the way we're playing it's realistic to expect something like 5-11.
4-4 followed by a 5-11 = 17-30
What I'm trying to say is that the next 8 games will be crucial for us.
We can either get rolling and gain momentum for the tough schedule ahead or we could continue to struggle which would basically end our season.

I say we'll go 3-7 which will put us at 10-20 after 30 games.
Thoughts ?
3-2 so far but we'll be without Melo for a while so that's a bad news.
Let's hope Amare is good enough to lead us to victory over weaker teams.
Linsanity definitely threw a wrench in my prediction.
I only got the Utah game wrong. With all the positive vibes about Lin,I think we're all guilty of forgetting that we've been beating teams we should have beat with or without him lol
It would be really amazing if we could beat the Lakers or/and Wolves and then with Amare in the lineup continue to play good against the Raptors and Kings.
If we are ever going to turn it around it will be now.

Let's hope I was right and we're turning the season around.
So far we're 4-0 during the stretch
