Sounds like Steph is gonna be AMPED UP to play this year. Trust me the whole team is gonna have a much more confident demeanor this coming season. The doubts will be gone. They'll expect to win every night as opposed to hoping they'll win. People better recognize!!!
You said similar things last yr with the ousting of LB. You said back then their confidence would be back and that the team would win 46gms if everything goes right. About 3 days ago you said Zach is a guaranteed 10+ game improvement from last season's win total which would put them @ 43gms. So with the "BETTER RECOGNIZE" attitude how come the early win total projection isn't somewhere around 50-55gms. How does the team lose 3gms in you win projection total from this yr to last yr if we got over in the trade and newfound ****y attitude?
You force me to respond even tho I said i'd ignore you :( Stop exggerating to make your point. Most people give a range of games and the most optimistic win total is high, but not expected. I believe that the team was capable of winning 41-45 games last year. You keep saying I said 46 but I can't honeslty remember what my exact prediction was. I still maintain that the team was good enough to be in that range. We started off with problems and ended wth problems but there was a legit shot at getting to .500. The team did start to play like a .500 team after the poor start. Even with that horrible start, with 19 games left at 29-34 they had to 12-7 to reach .500. They may not have made it but they had a legit shot, had they stayed healthy. For me to think they can win between 45-50 games now isn't off base.
The thing is that it's hard even for experts to predict win totals, but you have all the damn answers, so we don't need any other opinions but yours. All I know for sure is that this team is improving and that we have as good a shot as any team in the East. This team is tailor made for the Playoffs. Other teams may be better regular season teams, but I think this team is going to be stronger in the playoffs.
