4 of the 6 teams on this road trip have worse records than we do right now albeit some of them are playing a little better than their records indicate at the moment. It seems to me that we have some confidence building and can continue to make up ground. What's it going to take to come out of this road trip at least 4-2?

I said it (or at least thought it) when we lost our starters, that this period would be a great growing experience for a talented team looking for an identity. Players have stepped up off one of the league's worst benches and produced. The challenge has forced some of this team's heart to come to the surface. Mike Bibby is finally figuring out what it really means to be a leader. Our young players are getting confident. Arco arena is starting to show some life again as a limping team overcomes the odds.

I am not saying that we're about to make a championship push, but I am starting to be realistically optimistic, instead of just stubbornly optimistic. We'll see how thigs shake down on this road trip.

Maybe we needed this time to remember how much enjoyment can be realized from celebrating one win at a time instead of always looking forward to the playoffs to the point where nightly wins just didn't mean as much.

It was great to hear Arco Thunder! I love this team...

I've been feeling that with every win this season, but especially the last few. I'm just excited now that we're showing signs of life and playing like a team.

If our youngins continue to perform then I can see us getting away with 4 wins, but road resilience is tough and realistically that means 3 wins.

our bench guys (who sucked so much at the start of the season) are playing good basketball. we are 17-21. there is no good reason why we can't will all 5 games and get to 22-21. it's about time we get over .500 in the win column!

winning in Miami will be kinda difficult considering that we don't match up well

I hope we have a chance against Miami. Lakers beat them so why can't we? Hope they win big in Florida.:eek:

3-3 is acceptable, 4-2 a good trip, anything more is fantastic. :)

.500 on the road is decent to me. 4 games in 5 nights on the road is going to be a b***h, though.
