At this point last year we were 2-11

I don't know what your definition of "exact" is...better check the rest of my quote where I mentioned my whole point...the schedule.

[exodus]

If we played a top 5 team every game on the road for the next 11 games that would still be pessimistic.

[GoDawgs21]

yes you noted the schedule, but for your idea of 6-18 we would have to lose 11 in a row since our record currently 6-7. 6-7 to your propsed 6-18 would be 0-11 stretch. Not hard to to figure out how we got to where we did based on your statement.

I don't think we're going to lose 11 straight, nor did I ever post that. My original post was just stating that it COULD happen because I think the schedule is rough in December. We COULD win 11 in a row. Now am going to be called out for being too optimistic?

Dude just admit it was a dumb statement and stop all of this back tracking

[Nicholasp27]

yeah, we could play back-to-back games for 11 days straight on the road against the top 3 teams in the league that we match up worst against and i'd still peg us to win 3 or so of those 11, even under those bad conditions

"Why would he bet that the Hawks will lose?"

Because he thought the bet would win? At least that's what most people have as motivation when making one.

We very well may be 6-18 again this year, the schedule gets really tough until the new year...

You're def right about tougher schedule. December is the hardest month on our whole schedule on paper. That 5 game west coast trip and all those tough home games capped off with two road games against two more playoff teams in San Antonio and Houston. It's ridiculous.

We'll see what this team is made out of.

We're going to win SOME of those next 11 games.

It's going to be tough. Team will have to really put in

some work here, but I can't see us either winning or

loosing all of them.

6-5 would be nice. 5-6 wouldn't be too bad, considering

how tough it is.

6-5 would put Hawks @ .500 to that point.

Health of the Hawks is a major concern. Completely

healthy, we can win a lot of games. We've never been

there yet this season. Hopefully, on this western

swing, we'll get there.

To be honest with you, looking at the month of December I would be happy with 7-9. 6-10 would actually not be that bad.

That's now brutal that month is. There is not a single easy game out of all 16 of those games in the month of December.

7-9 or 6-10 would only put us 4 or 5 games below .500 and we could recover from that in the month of January which looks a lot friendlier.

And struggling to deal with the death of a friend. I don't think there are words to express the impact this had on them. But conversely, it will make them that much tougher this year. School of bad breaks teaches you something that can't be learned in any other way.

Good thing you didn't put you money where you mouth was because you would have lost that bet with the 1st game.
