Does anyone else think we should start the season with a 6-0 run?

    Look at the first six teams: Den, Mem, Chi, NJ, Orl, and Mia. Some of those we should roll right over, but all of them we should be favored. If this team comes out and plays like I know they can, like they should have last year, then this team goes 6-0 and we get off on the right foot.
    Who's with me? There's just no reason to not come out on a six game winning streak. I don't care how good the Nets are, we can take 'em.

    They could, but lets not get to far ahead. Often last year many of us predicted 5,6,7 game winning streaks only to lose to the Clippers, Knicks, Bulls etc.. But that was last year. If the Rockets play their game and not take anybody lightly they could start 6-0. I sure hope so

    Playing in NJ will be tough. No way we are favored in that game and against ORL.

    5-1 is not too shabby either.

    6-0 is very possible.

    I want winning streaks that last longer than two or three games. This win two, loose two has to stop.

    :(

    It is possible.

    NJ will provide the most compition, ORL could if they can get their stuff together....but they looked nasty against the Knicks last night..

    Hopefully we wont overlook these games as easy, that has always bitten us last year. I dont really expect VG to allow them to take these teams lightly.

    I think 5-1 is more likely, but I can see a 6-0 start..especially if Mo can come in off the bench and mesh in quickly.

    Denver looked good last night, at some times Andre Miller looked UNSTOPPABLE!

    sure, we would all like it but even the best teams have already fallen (spurs) and some really bad teams have shown that they can still play (jazz).

    The only game I would predict as a win right now is Miami. They look beyond horrible...

    Exactly my thinking, let's try to win first one before we start predicting long winning streaks.

    All those teams are pretty good with the lone exception being Miami.

    We would be extremely fortunate to be 6-0 after that stretch.

    Regardless, it should be fun. Go rox, go improvement.

    Well, I think we could go for 6 straight wins if:

    1) We do not have back to backs

    2) We do not have any injuries

    3) Depending on our opponents schedule.

    they said last night that Andre Miller shot 52% against us last year and averaged 18/8 or something along those lines. Let's not overlook anyone, but it does seem to be an easier part of the schedule.
