|
|
....To add to our current 2 game winning streak.
This thread is a sequel to the previous 7 game winning streak thread. http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=186025&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 But now that it’s officially come to a close (6 out of 7), let’s take a look at these next...8 games.
Vs Jazz
Vs Magic
At Nuggets
Vs Pacers
Vs Mavs
Vs Suns
Vs Spurs
At Spurs
These next 8 games include one back-to-back (Pacers-Mavs), and 6 home games with two away games. The previous 7 game thread had 3 home games and 4 away games.
I want good vibes with these next 8 games. Struggling Jazz, revenge game against Orlando, beatable Nuggets, young Suns and Mavs team, and revenge two games against the struggling Spurs (with us this time having a real backup Center now).
Let’s (bleep) do it! _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

And the first thing the Lakers should do after their 8 game winning streak is rest Lebron for a game or 2. He's had to do more heavy lifting than I'd like this early on in the season |

We need to win those last two against the Spurs. We can't lose a tiebreaker matchup to them. We honestly likely go 4-4 in this stretch.
I feel like we played way better basketball as a team to start. Now we're just playing Lebronball. |

Kuzma's hit a slump, Ingram hasn't been playing well, Lonzo's been hiding on offense, Stephenson's hit a slump, and Rondo's injured. Lebron's been carrying the team for the past few games cause he's had to |

That is a really tricky stretch of games.
I'd feel more confident if we were blowing out the Atlanta and Cleveland type of teams, but we could go anywhere from 8-0 to as bad as 2-6.
I'm going to think positive and hope for the best. |

6-2 is good for me...
5-3 is what I think, but I'm usually a pessimist... |

Not happening. Not when we almost lost to the Cavaliers, cmon guys. WE have a lot of work to do still. |

According to GT, Lakers were in Miami for 3 days that could explain the lackadaisical performance against the Cavs. |

The Jazz game will be hard. Rubio & Gobart are great players.
It won't be easy, but Lebron can make it happen |

Jazz havent been playing well lately.
We need to come out strong and outplay them from the gate |

We haven’t been playing very well outside of Lebron. 4-4 or 5-3 would be my guess, but who knows...If Kuz or Hart get hot maybe 6 wins. |

Gobert hasn't been the same defensively and Mitchell is going through a sophomore slump (51.9 TS%). Then again the Jazz always seem to step up against us. Just can't let guys like Ingles and Favors go off on us. |

The run before and after the All Star break is brutal. Should cash in on some wins now then hope we can go 50% during that hard stretch |

Definitely. There’s always explanations for our occasional lackluster play. That’s why I think an 8 game winning streak right now isn’t happening.
If we come out sluggish tonight, I’m sure it’ll be the Thanksgiving festivities, etc. |

Why stop at 8? How about 81 straight? One for each of Kobe's record-setting night |

Hopefully 8-0, but I would think 6-2....
Those two against the Spurs would be a bit of revenge, after losing those 2 close ones against them early on.
The lakers would actually be12-5 if we won those, atop the Western conference with Memphis... |
