We are dealing with a lot of injuries to key players and are struggling to get wins. They have played fine with some minor breakdowns in the last three games. Problem is here that while yes it’s a very long season, if we keep losing this quickly this could become a numbers game to make it to the playoffs.
A max of 138 points left to possibly win. Last year it was 97 points to get in, we currently have 12, meaning we need 85 to get in or a winning percentage of ~0.616 for the rest of the year as it stands now. Lose the next two that % goes up to .634
Last year we played the year at a clip of .677. To date I don’t think they have shown they are at that level so I do worry if this tough stretch lingers a bit too long, but the season definitely isn’t over yet and the team looks like it is close to turning the corner. It’s a tough stretch for fans because losing sucks and people can react how they want to a 7 game losing streak which is pretty bad in a nutshell. But it’s not over, and we will win again and likely based on PDO and other numbers this will be over soon and hopefully in our rear view mirrors.
