Correction,

Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen
Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili
Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum


all are clearly better...

Yao/McGrady/Artest is a push because they get injured as often as we do.

He said when healthy ...

as for the others, they may not be clearly better, but they still are IMO:

Dirk > Gil
Kidd > Butler
Howard/Terry = Jamison

Howard >> Gil
Lewis =< Jamison
Hedo < Butler

We'd have to become a 62-win team to surpass the Celts.


New mission.

Let's all pull to make it happen. No more negative thoughts. 62-win season here we come. It will happen. Book it. Woo, we're winning the lottery! Watch out now... We can do It!!!

/rah rah.


put my on this bandwagon today

62 wins! Yeah Baby.

I'm obviously not a mod but the thread can go up anytime.

Predictions are changeable until tip-off game 1.

more seriously if we want to guess at win totals for next year,
one thing we might consider although I wouldn't argue that this
should be determinative, is Flip's win totals in DET. Look at that,
then compare our projected lineup/rotation to what they had.

also as much as I'd love to see it, 68 wins isn't that far from what
the all time record for wins, period, in a season is or was before
CHI upped the ante in MJ/Pip's best season. 68 wins is off the charts
good. R U kidding me!

Final thought - if we got 68 wins without a huge contribution from
our draft pick or whatever off-season trades eventually happen,
it would hopefully put to rest whether EJ, with his high mark of 45
wins, is/was good, average or something less than that.
