I think it was every 2 games. Wasn’t it 2 wins, 2 losses, etc. all the way to .500 or something? Really added to the duality of the Hawks.

No it was like 20 something games within 1 game of .500, so we’d have stretchers like WWLWLWLLWLWW

Not that it’s your fault…but you jinxed it!

They’re going to win two games in a row now lol

That being said…I wonder how long such a zig-zag streak would take before a losing streak would become preferable lol

If you want this alternate streak to end, all I have to do is bet against them on their next game.
