I'll take the over, but that's a pretty good Vegas line. My theory is we won 37 games last year, and a lot went wrong. Better shooting (on paper), and hopefully a healthier RJ should have us over 41 wins, but it's not a sure thing.

If this team isn't over .500 next season (barring excessive injuries, or some other catastrophic circumstance(s)) SVG is SURELY on the hot-seat, and probably deserves to go.

Have no clue. Last year sucked watching after rj returned, but year before was a decent squad to watch. Really hoping ab rubs off on everyone. Whoever he doesn't has to go. If we lose ab in the off season that won't be good, well I guess depending on whatever other moves they make.

Over, but I don't have any imaginary money left to gamble with because I bet the house on over last year.

43 wins is what I predict.

Another season, another year where it's irrelevant what our record is.

I want to see:

Dre not pout like a child when things aren't going well - be a pro and deal with it

RJ be a better PG as opposed to looking for his own stats

Tobias be featured more as the offensive weapon he is

AB lead the team despite just walking through the door

SJ take a leap forward on both ends

SVG not be such a stubborn prick and expand the offensive structures

Jon not run out of gas after 45 games

Henry, Luke, Galloway & Bobo get minutes so they're positive assets

The whole team wake up and realise they have a realistic shot at the playoffs IF they bring it most of the time.

I'll take the over. We've improved our shooting and filled some significant holes. With the additions of Bradley, Galloway, and Tolliver we've better shooting and defense as well as leadership. I like our chances of winning 45+ games on the year.

Well, they have to trash someone and last season was a dumpster fire.


They still expect us to be the 8 seed with those 35 wins, though.

If Tobias' hard work of this summer translates to his game, he's going to be our star, plain and simple.

I follow the guy on IG and it's INCREDIBLE how much work he puts on him. He really loves the game, he's always playing and training and he looks right now in an elite shape.

Not saying guys who don't post their workouts on IG don't work off cameras, but he really really deserves to be a late bloomer. He got tools, skills and he seems like a NICE guy and teammate.

Tobias just need a more aggressive mindset, if he can turn him into an alpha, which is something very hard and we use to forget that, how hard is to change your personality, he could be a 22-24 points per game player without disrupting the offense, because he's great at motion and finding ways to score with ball movement.

Yep Tobias has been killin it. Same with Stanley. Hopefully Reggie has behind the scenes cause all he posts is him hanging out with his new chick and eating terribly.

It's more likely we win SIXTY games than this happening. Dre is a child.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just don't realize how not-good we are compared to the top 5 teams in the east?

After last season, I'll take the under on us at around 37 to 38 wins.
