Predict the Bucks record this season

El Duderino · Post #121 » by **El Duderino** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:51 am

26-27 wins area

If Sanders stays healthy and focused all season, maybe surprise people and hit 30 wins.

I'm going with the incredibly generic 'bad team' record prediction of 30 wins.

Has anyone looked at the eastern Conference lately? It is terrible.

Milwaukee is going to be the surprise team of the league. I wouldn't be shocked if Kidd gets coach of the year consideration and Jabari will be the favorite for ROY.

So my prediction on page 3 looks pretty good.

41-41.

Yes, I predict the Bucks will be a .500 team and make the playoffs.

Here's a copy and paste from my first post on this board, explaining the reasons why:

"Hi Everyone,

Just joined this board. I'm actually from Dallas and follow all Dallas-related sports with my favorite NBA team naturally being the Dallas Mavericks.

But I've been a huge Jason Kidd fan since his Rookie-of-the-Year showing his first year in Dallas. And I tend to follow Kidd wherever he goes -- the Suns, the Nets, the Knicks, and now the Bucks. So I have been following his entire career in great detail, and thought I would sprinkle in some J-Kidd opinions now and then.

With regards to playoffs and seeding, don't be surprised if Kidd tries to win this year and the Bucks make the playoffs.

Jason Kidd has made the playoffs 18 STRAIGHT YEARS. His last 17 as a player and also with his one and only season coaching the Nets.

While he doesn't always express it verbally or emotionally, Kidd is ultra competitive and hates to lose. He has a proven track record of being a winner.

Case in point -- The Knicks sucked prior to Kidd's arrival. He is there one year and they win the Atlantic Division and make it out of the first round. Then he retires and the Knicks suck again.

Same thing happened in Dallas, Phoenix, New Jersey.

18 STRAIGHT YEARS in the Playoffs. I've done some research and cannot find any other player\coach who can claim that track record of success.

I predict this will be the 19th straight year he makes the playoffs. I would not count on any thoughts of him tanking the season. He plays to win and win now."

To finish with 36 wins, in the remaining games the Bucks need:
.444 against the East (16-20) and
.333 against the West (7-14).

Even without Parker I see 36 wins as the floor. Last year Atlanta were the 8th seed with 38 wins. 36 wins gave the 11th pick.

.500 against the East and
.300 against the West
in the remaining games (26 home, 20 road) will lead to 38 wins.
Atlanta finished with 38 wins and 8th seed last year.

Sanders, Ersan, and Mayo were so insanely bad last year. So was Dudley, for that matter. They are not bad players though. People are setting the baseline way too low based on last year's performance. I see massive upgrades in performance at every position, even before you factor in some new additions like Jabari, Marshall, and Dudley. Simply because of a more balanced team, fewer injuries, and players returning to career norms, they will be much better. Also, the East is as atrocious as ever.

Haha the only person in this thread who had even a close idea of what this season would be like.

41-41. Just as I predicted.

And maybe we trade for this guy:
