It's way too early for this, but Darrel Arthur started it.

My vote? Don't hate - 5-8 (probably around 6 or 7).

I'm guessing 45-50 wins, which would've been 6th or 7th seed last season.

I am SURE we'll have more than 5-8 wins, I'd even lay money on it, WY !!

I'm going big and will say we hit 49 wins. Our depth will help us up the ladder.

This poll would be more interesting if poll-options are TOP4, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9+. So, no surprise if over 2/3 votes will go to single 5-8 option.

I personally agree that 6-7 place is right now most realistic scenario, but no matter are we already have or not a playoff worthy team, Nuggets FO before start of the season should do something for more balanced roster by positions because of weakness at PG and SF spot and unnecessary way too many backup options at PF. If Irving, Bledsoe, Crowder are just pipe dreams, we can't do anything against reality, but still... FO should do at least anything to fix that PG/SF problem, at least any kind of the improvement.

You're right - so changed - everyone needs to revote - now, should I vote 6 or 7? Competition will be tough but I'm a diehard believer (except in Malone) - I'll still vote 6th place

nuggets over/under is like 42.5 so it may be a good bet.

5th is obviously our best case scenerio, which never happens to us :lol:

we won 40 last year. 3rd most wins lost due to injury. plus zero comeback wins (which is probably kinda rare). plus a slight upgrade from gallo to millsap. seems like we should definitely add wins. problem is 25 or so teams could make a similar argument why they should win more games, and that is just not possible.

but if you look at non-nugget fan projections, most have us in that 6-8 range. so hopefully we make it back into the postseason this year.

I already got $50 with a friend whose a Lakers fan for 45 wins (he thinks the Lakers will be the 8th seed .....easy money IMO)

I'm super optimistic about this, I say 5th position. 4th max.
