That is 24 points in 18 games. 10-4-4, 12-6, whatever you like. Still really need to shoot for winning 2 of every 3.
The problem isn't what record is necessary, it's what record is necessary for a team that hasn't put together a 3-game winning streak this year, hasn't won on the road in 10 games, and has looked like utter garbage more often than not recently.

It's not happening. The kind of run we'd need to go on is a tall order for very good teams and it's pretty clear this is not even an average team.

Looking at it dispassionately, the worst thing that could happen would be to go on a run and get close.
