TMac is supposed to play tonight versus the Nets. I don't know how healthy he is but that back to back with Houston and Dallas is going to be rough. I don't want to jinx them but normally you lose to a team you are not supposed to. So pick the weakest team on the schedule in November and that is when it is likely to happen.

they reported that he'd be out for 3 weeks, i guess he's coming early then.

My guess is the streak ends on the road in a back to back against a very good Dallas team.

Sure would be good to sweep through November

but I had to opt for it ending in Dallas. The back to back will be pretty difficult and Dallas has the people to stop the streak.

I am figuring the odds for Dallas to stop our streak at 50.00000001 % to 49.00000099 to not stop it.

But it might not be that close .

Bills

That's what we want to hear. Teams satisfied to make it close. That's a major mental edge.

What's funny is this: We can say at this point that we really haven't played anyone yet because we haven't played any Central Division teams. This is arguably the best division in basketball (perhaps rivaled only by SA/Dallas/Houston) and is almost certainly the deepest in terms of quality teams.

Anyone notice the Central's the only division with every team above .500?

yeah central division is definently the best. you've got 2 title contenders (guess which one is actually is a title winner), 2 great up and coming teams in milwaukee and cleveland, and chicago is not that bad of a team even though they lost eddy curry they're still very talented 3-2 is not a bad start for them.

Admission of guilt

Okay, I admit it. I was the one who voted for Boston. I had a bad feeling about this game. The Pistons were awesome in the 2nd half. That was fun to watch!!

Kelser was saying on the Friday broadcast that the 71 team did not even make the post-season that year. Imagine what happened.

Maybe they got caught getting too infatuated with their offense and playing defense for only half a game. That stifling D HAS to make a cameo in the first half or we're going to go home early.
