If I get a gif related kudos from Kammrath then I'm doing something right!

I enjoyed reading the progress/record prediction comments above. I will be updating my every 10 game segment tracking system thread soon after tonight's 40th game is over. If we win, we will avert having any losing 10 game segments so far. We have gone 6-4, 8-2, 6-4 and a win would be 5-5. 

Each 10 game segment has had one really bad loss (NY, NY, Charlotte and I forgot the other one). The first 3 had at least one really good win. This last one had the bad loss but no extra special wins. 

Dick Motta talked about 10 game segments and Rick Carlisle mentioned them in earlier years. My point was that a quick start would be very helpful and we got it. It has been extremely helpful including the fact Luka and our record have combined to get us infinitely more respect and national TV games. I mentioned the absolute need for consistency and so far, we have not blown that as mentioned above being one of 4 teams who have not lost 3 in a row. With the win, we would be one game ahead of the 6-4 pace I hoped for. That would be 48 wins in 80 games with the last two remaining. Often those last two mean little though sometimes they mean everything. 

I predict now we will at least maintain the current pace. Of all the top teams at 48 win paces and above, who can anyone think of that is younger and more likely to see continued internal improvement and less likely to see age related injury and load management issues. Of course, all teams are ruined by really bad injury luck, so there is that. 

Which reminds me, has anyone seen or heard anything from DLord?

Great post and I love what you're doing with the 10 game stretches! I haven't heard DLord myself, but would love to. If you're lurking DL, hit me up and say hi if you can! You can create an alias and PM me :-)
