Can this team reel off 5-10 wins in a row in the second half of the season, IF Gordon plays every game from here on and they continue to improve? Or, is that just not possible?

They reeled off 4 just now. I think they can reach at least 5.

Next 13 games as I seem them:
GSW - Win
Kings - Win
Spurs - Loss
HOU - Win
Grizzlies - Loss
Lakers - Win
Jazz - Win
Nuggets - Win
Wolves - Win
Suns - Win
Hawks - Win
Raptors - Win
Pistons - Win
Give or take a loss against either the Lakers or Utah, and I can definitely see this happening. -

I think we lose at Utah off a back to back. Hard to win there like that. Altitude issues, tough place to play. I like our chances better at LA the night before.
But if we can stay healthy, I think we make it. -

As fun as it is to think about, the winning percentage required to make the playoffs would be contention level winning. If you remember in CP3's last year, the team looked contention worthy in stretches but would follow a 10 game winning streak by a 10 game losing streak. Hopefully this team doesn't have any losing streaks in its future, but missing the playoffs by winning "only" 65% of the time from this point would be quite an accomplishment. That's 4-6 seed range if you play that way for a full season and is also about the rate the team has won the last 2 seasons when Gordon plays so it doesn't seem too unrealistic to aim for.
