***Our Annual - Predict The Heat 2023-2024 Regular Season***

[eddieheatfan]

After watching Preseason im temptep to adjust my prediction, didnt like our cohesion, and outside of Bam & Highsmith nobody else looked to have improved. Tyler im iffy about, just looks to be more agressive and making quicker decisions but outside of that looks identical to last year.

i'm tempted to downgrade too but whatever lets see what happens. it all hinges on how good the new talent is going to jell with the team.

43 wins is my prediction. Just don’t think the team is that good as currently assembled

Aside from the talent level, our guys just miss too many games. We've already got 3 rotation role players (Love, Caleb, & JRich) missing time, with a possible 4th (Highsmith) also missing time. If you're going to be mediocre, at least be available.

Can I get a waiver for a do over???
