Predict how many wins

Post #1 » by **Grang33r** » Fri Jul 15, 2016 2:24 pm

Assuming no other major changes are made by the Pacers (maybe Aaron Brooks still?), as of today and how the east is constructed how many wins do you see the Pacers having next season?

Last season they were 45-37.

Interested to see if and by how much you guys think the Pacers have improved by.

You might want to add a poll with some ranges. I'd say more than 45 but less than 50. Good shot to be 4th or 5th in East with an outside chance at 3rd. May have to face Cavs in second round of playoffs. Looking way ahead, can Teague guard Irving, Lowry, or Thomas? If he can, good things may follow.

With so much roster turnover, including a new (sort of) coach and still moving toward a new identity, I'll put us right around 49 or so.

I think that puts us at about 4th seed. Cleveland is obviously the cream of the crop, Boston took a nice jump, Toronto is still an upper-echelon team but lookin at the teams in front of us from last year, I think Atlanta took a step back, Miami took a step back (especially with Bosh's health status), and I think we added enough talent to overtake Charlotte by a seed.

As of right now, I see it being...

Cleveland
Boston
Toronto
Indy
Detroit
Charlotte
Washington
New York

I agree. I think we compete for the 4th spot. I think the East has improved, so win totals should decrease for many at the top - as there is more competition. Even the Sixers are stronger.
