And, had they been healthy, they'd be right on target for the 44 I predicted.
I'd like it noted that I (moi) am the one who predicted the level they are playing at right now as the level their healthy team would be at.
And that I still didn't -- and don't -- like the Okariza trade or most of Ernie Ugfield's off-season moves.
(Edit: also worth noting that some of the biggest "homers" and EG supporters predicted way below what the team is capable of -- recognize yourself in that observation, Hands ?? )
Considering we knew Wall was hurt and Nene had planar fasciatis when we made the predictions, why would you make your prediction a full health prediction? This year we haven't been unexpectedly decimated by injuries like, say, the timberwolves.
