I like it better when we're underdogs and overachieving. With all of the roster turnover, we're really back to square one in the continuity department. I like our odds if we make it to the playoffs. I'd be happy with the 4-5-6 seed. I'm going to have to go 47 wins even though I think our ceiling could be 57 wins.

you think we are worse than last year? Really?

82 games my man. We don’t have enough NBA ready bodies for next man up. Both the starting and bench units have been re-jiggered and there’s going to be a learning curve. Yes we have better talent, but we are not a better team yet. By the new year or the second half of the season we should be ready to tear up the league if we can stay healthy. 47 wins isn’t an indictment of the team just a **** happens middle of the road guess.

Last year Grimes was the starting SG, McBride was a GLeague player, etc... etc...

We start this year with a healthy Brunson, Bridges, Hart, OG, KAT, McBride and a bunch of bench guys who have looked nothing short of very good every time they take the floor.

Last year we start w/ Brunson, Grimes, RJ, Jules, Mitch, IHart, IQ, and DD. Half those guys dont make the season and we still win 50.

I guess you really miss IHart?

but why? "82 games" doesnt mean anything. The sun will also come up and I will have a wank and a nap. So what?

Nah I don't miss iHart but I'm pretty bad at the prediction thread and game picker. I really wanted to go 57 but I'm just not feeling it. I mean, we have 4 players on the team who started the season on the roster last year (I don't count Sims because he's a scrub and should't ever play meaningful minutes). You start adding up losses if we have a slow start to the season and then any missed games by key players of which we only have 6 (no depth), 7 when Mitch gets back someday. Our bench is probably going to have to play rookies and/or 2 way players. That's how I get to 35 regular season losses.

This team, if it comes together & injuries are minimal, can reach the finals.

Not sure I understand what's going on with Hart and Bridges. Bridges played in a complimentary role w/ the Suns, and Hart did it with us last year, but I have to believe that these issues will be ironed out during the season.

In a perfect world, with no injuries, this team should win at least 50 after a slow start, but be playing like a 65 win team by the end of the season.

If you want to hang you ass out here, let the moon shine bright!!
Im fine if you want to cut and past these into the "hang" thread.
I did this one first but should have named it as such.

Re-evaluation based on data! There was another thread I think I commented on - and it was in the 40s that I guessed- maybe 44 or something- I’ll have to find it.

But, right now - we are playing like we’ll be in the play in or perhaps slightly above.
