    Vs. Sacramento
    Vs. Phoenix
    @ Orlando
    @ Miami
    @ Dallas
    @ San Antonio
    Vs. Denver

    2-5 sounds realistic to me. That puts us at 16-16.

    I've got no feel for this team right now. They definitely played hard the past couple of games, but there is so much unsettled in the rotation and who knows what direction Nate is going to go with the point guard rotation.

    I'm just anxious to see if this team has enough character and resolve to weather this storm, record be damned.

    I thought everyone knew what direction Nate was going to go in:

    Stay the course. Zero points of Blake. Read my lips: No new point guard.

    Speaking of GHWB, I guess his famous misspeak about Ronald Reagan would fit for Nate and Blake too:

    "I'm proud to have been his partner. We've had triumphs. We've made some mistakes. We've had some sex..."

    We could very well be a sub .500 team after this stretch.

    We always win at Miami don't we? Maybe not this year.

    I think our guards are going to have trouble against SAC.

    I'm going to be the optimist and say 3-4.
    Either that or 18-0.

    and amazingly some say we dont need a trade... but kp already knows hes going to the lotto

    we might go 0-7.... i dont think we can outscore the kings.

    we might have a top 5 lotto pick

    That's the attitude I'm trying to adopt as well. Even if we go 1-6 in these next 7 and we are 15-17 overall - that doesn't end our season. There will still be 50 games left and anything can happen. Who knows if Okl City & Houston can stay in the race?

    We SHOULD start to get healthy again by February if can just hang around until then.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This team is set at every position. What do you think they need?

    We might go 7-0.

    I'm positive Portland can outscore the Kings. The question is, can they allow fewer points than the Kings? That will decide the game. ;)

    I don't think the teams with those picks will trade them to Portland, but I admire your optimism.

    Mixum probably wants to trade for LeBron, with Steve Blake and Webster anchoring the deal.

    ?Under what variables? Nate loosening the reigns after his week of observation? Miller and Blake combining for 3x the minutes of Dante and JB combined? Starting 3 guards? Playing 3 PGs at a time for extended minutes?

    Assume nothing changes.

    That is probably the best bet in this case.

    3-4 or 4-3. 5-2 if we're lucky.

    2-5 is sounding right to me too. Sucks. These teams are not going to be nice to us.

    I agree with this prediction. Maybe after this, KP will wake from his stupidity and do a trade.
