49 games in and we're at 9 wins. For the record, I believe I predicted we'd have 8 wins in the first 10 games. I am a dumbass. So with that being said, where do y'all think we'll end up in the win column? Keep in mind, last year we had 21 wins, the lowest in franchise history.

17 wins, worst record in nba due to Ish MVP Smith

I venture to say 15.

15-20.

probably better

We have 8 more games against "bad" teams:
vs MIN (Feb-02)
@ NOL (Feb-04)
vs BKN (Mar-01)
@ DEN (Mar-02)
vs PHX (Mar-18)
@ PHX (Mar-23)
vs DEN (Mar-25)
@ NOL (Apr-08)

Obviously we're not winning all of these, there are also a couple of marginally winnable games. I think we win half of these games against "bad" teams and maybe win 1 more game against another team.

14 wins.

i was thinking 22 wins, but now i think i'm being overly optimistic

Depends if Byron is the coach till the end. If he is then I say 14-15 wins tops. If he gets fired I can see this team play out of their minds just because they will be so amped

and here i thought we couldnt do worse than last year. damn. 15 wins prolly. this tank is so under the radar thanks to optimism for the young guns and kobe's farewell tour.

I was thinking 17-18...

But, then felt more like 15-16

Althou..
You know the lakers have one of those annoying 3 game winning streaks in march...

I'll split the difference between the first two replies and say 16.

9-73

I think we'll get to 14.

Do y'all remember those prediction/analysis threads made by some mod(s)? I don't remember if it was based on this year or last year, but they had us at 15 wins or something like that and I recall laughing my ass off.

Thanks Byron.

I got my money on 14 - 68. I think the 9 wins in the first 50% of the season were a fluke, and I expect the win pace to slow down now.

16 wins, one for every lakers championship

Going with 12. Low end i know but we are pretty atrocious and unless we get everything right like tonight more or less, we'll lose by 10-20 easily

i'm hoping that we don't win anymore. each win puts us further out of contention for the simmon's sweepstakes. i would rather win nothing and play the rookies and have a chance for simmon's, than play the rookies a bit, win a bit, and remove our chances of simmons.

Time to bump, we're in the home stretch!

That win vs the Warriors really bumped up hopes

The irony of life is that we might end up thanking Byron in a couple of years for the picks he's brought to the team with his excellent masterful undercover tanking.
