I'm going to say something uncharacteristically optimistic: Even after the Lakers game, they are still the 4th worst team in the league and at least two of the three teams behind them are on the upswing. In addition, after a couple of easier road games, their schedule for the rest of December is a disaster. And oh, by the way, if you think December looks tough for them, take a peek at their January schedule.
They're gonna win a couple games over the next several weeks that they should lose, but so will the teams behind them. I'm hoping that, by the end of January, they will be solidly in the bottom 2.
