13 games left. 8 games against teams that are currently under 500.
8 road games. 3 against bottom dwellers (OKC, Pistons)
If we don't beat the Spurs, we could be looking at a losing streak that lasts until the Rockets.
If we want to see this season turned around, they have to find a way to win at least 8 games- that would put us 1 game over 500 for the month.
I could easily see us finish the month with 5 wins.
Our schedule coming up is just brutal and we aren’t playing well
We a .500 team with better record on the road.
I say we go 6-7. Things change. Some of these hot teams cool off, and some of the cold teams heat up.
I’ll be at the pistons game. I can handle a loss, but I want to see a good game. I want to feel the MSG thing.
The parity in the league gives me hope we can turn this thing around a bit. not suprising we muddle thru the season.
I'd take 7-6, 18-18 overall. Thankfully 8 of those games are on the road, where we play a lot better.
one down! And a great win against a team that a team we aspire to be should beat.
Now - a tough back to back against a pacer team we should beat, but they might be motivated to play as the news seems to be they are bums and not wanted in Indy.

Plus, all teams seem to turn it up, when playing the knicks. The players must know the knicks have a media circus around them. So if you shine, it will go viral. That self marketing strategy must be the extra motivation players use to shine. Or maybe we just suck and players are confident when they play us.
Beat the Bucks and the Warriors. Would be a nice way to start (or continue) a win streak through the end of the month.

If we can squeeze out even one out of the two it would be unbelievable
Looks like we will end up 5 & 10 month of dec. killer.

Although we might not do this even- I assumed we’d beat Houston- and they just beat the nyets for their 7th straight win.
