Quote:6-8 wins means the goes 4-4, 5-3 or 6-2 down the stretch. I think any of those would be classified as a miracle turnaround.

I dunno man... if you expected 6  (I predicted 8-8) and 6 is what you end up with, after watching a lot of close single possession games, I don't think much will be "turned around" it'll be more of bounces falling our way.

 

It's a weak schedule. And with how we've been playing, eliminate a couple of mistakes and there is no reason to think 6-8 wins is reasonable.

But if you consider it a miracle and would accept another year of Gus... I suppose it's all the same.

 

I do think there is a solid chance this team makes a run... like.. 6 of the last 7, ending at 8 wins.

To me it isn't a miracle turnaround, it's the eventual evolvement of the team (and maybe the coaching staff) I expected.

 

Anywhere near 8 wins has me expecting the division next year as an honest expectation/goal.

 

But I'm also in the crowd of "with this schedule, we better see some wins or else" on the Gus side of things.

There is 0 reason this team should end the year with less than 6 wins.
