Yeah, lets start another thread - the losing streak. On the other hand, Flip plays a big part in a game like that leaving the starters who don't seem to be into the game on the floor. Dallas' offense came to a crawl once AA and Stuckey came on the floor, but he'll give the starters a free ride throughout.

The entire hope doesn't rest with Amir but I think he is a better option then what we are doing now.

Got another 10 game streak going on here. Going to get tough after the all-star break though. First game is against Orl. They're rested while the Trio will have to get back into the swing of things, not to mention Superman is floating on cloud-9 right about now. Then a home and home with Milw. Next, Off to the West coast, that is spelling disaster. Tough game against Phx (early afternoon at that) with only 1 day to travel - can you say Jet Lag.

The Phx game is the front end of a back2back with Denver - Yikes, dont really want to play Denver right after Phx. Then we go into Utah - 'Nuff said.

We should beat the Clippers. The Last game is in Sea, we should win, but with the last game of a 5 game road trip - you never know - remember that Knick game - Double Yikes!!!!

If we could go 5-3 over the next 8 I'd be A-O-K. Hopefully we can get wins against Phx, Den, Utah, and Orl. I wouldn't mind losing to some of the lesser teams if we beat all 4 of those teams.

I predict .500 ball over the next 8.

Either I will be really happy or really disappointed. We will see.

i think we need home court advantage to beat the Celtics in 7 game series

I think the exact opposite. I would rather steal one of two on the road, fresh legged, and as the underdog, than try to angle for a Game 7 win at home (which essentially is what HCA is all about).

Nov 13 LW Milan Lucic had an active night. He scored his first goal in eight games since his Oct. 25 hat trick and also pounded Michael Komisarek in a third-period fight. Lucic cut his hand in a fight with Michael Komisarek. "I'll be fine," he said. "(X-rays are) negative, but there's so many broken bones in there from before you can't really tell."

I am more concerned about how Stuckey and The Amirzing One do on their first serious WC road trip.

Since there will only be 6 weeks left in the regular season when the trip is over, I think it will give us a good gage of what we can expect from Hot Rod and The Amirzing One come the playoffs.

I also hope to see Maxey step it up. We need his A game come playoff time.

Stay tuned.

Good points, great things to look for over the next 8 games. Gotta think that the perfect storm is brewing for us right now. The Zoo crew was playing great and while the core needed /wanted the break, the young'ns were just getting it going, one would think that they are chomping at the bit right about now. Hopefully Max has gotten the break he's needed to get that -A- game going.

I'm down with Amirzing starting over Dyess and JMax. 3 rough road games coming up.
Let's do the Suns, the others games would be of lesser importance.
