Very.....Simple......Question......

I hope so

Hell ya. We gonna shock the world! (If we're healthy lol)
5th seed baby. And winning the 1st round of playoffs. Then taking the #1seed to a respectable 6games. Boom!

I think its 50/50. Charlotte is better than I expected them to be and our depth is really bad.

I say yes but I’m not feeling very high on this team. Could see us sneak in on a .500 record or something

I'll say no. Our ceiling, if everyone is healthy, is battling for the 4th/5th seed. With a normal team's level of injuries, we're probably 6th/7th/8th. If just one of our big 3 is missing, we are not a good team. Two out of our big three have injury histories that suggest full seasons of good health are improbable. Our situation is precarious and the wheels are likely to come off. That doesn't necessarily mean they will, but be surprised if they don't.

I don't think so

Nope. Stefanski made the same mistake SVG made - didn't get a better back-up for Reggie Jackson when he gets injured again. Jose Calderon looked passable as a starter because he was playing with Lebron James.

Should have spent the GRIII money on a back-up point, and then used the Calderon money for a depth wing. Kennard, Bullock, Galloway, Johnson, Thomas was our depth there versus Jackson and Smith at the point.

Arnie Kander. Bring us lucky health!

idk for the passed couple seasons we play good then injuries kill the season.

Meh losing your main ball handler is gonna hurt regardless Smith is a good back up, getting another on top of that aint gonna do much.

I think we’ll be better prepared in case Reggie goes down. The offense can run almost entirely through Blake so having a combo of ish, Galloway and brown manning the PG spot could probably keep the offense afloat. Ish also looks like he isn’t a complete non-shooter now which will be interesting to see.

We were 9th seed and the cavs will fall off a cliff so if I had to guess I’d say it’s more likely we make playoffs than not.

Baring any major injuries to a key player, yes well make it. It will be interesting to see where though. 4-8 would be my guess.

Despite what everything is telling me so far, I'll go with yes. If we can't be optimistic at the start of the season, when can we?

Voted no. Track record tells us Blake and Reggie have trouble staying healthy.

Nah, even if we somehow get 70 games a piece out of Reggie and Blake, our depth is so trash. The bench and role players are going to cough up so many leads and games.

The east is pretty blah, so I think we sneak in even without ideal health.

It’s dependent on the health of guys who never play a full season, so to me the default is no. Concerns about depth are real and make that issue worse.

It’s early to say, but absent compelling reasons otherwise that’s my vote.

I have the Celtics / 76ers / Raptors / Bucks / Pacers as clearly better than us

I think at least 2 of the Wizards / Heat / Hornets are making it

Which basically leaves Pistons / Cavs / 3rd team from the Southeast fighting for the 8th seed.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, well I voted yes again, of course.
