Well no brainer for me.If they can get 65 games out of midds this season n the big 3 play together in lets say 45 to 50xs instead of juat 13 last year.
With the additions they have added.

The good man Bo Jones put Wemby as 2nd team All NBA. I think it's too early for that, but that speaks more to the depth of the NBA then it does to Wemby's place in it.

I think it could be Luka's "turn" to win MVP if he's not injured. There's the health disclaimer with the Bucks of course (and really with every team) but I think we at least advance to the EF Finals. East is tough but Giannis and Dame want redemption.

In the west the Suns will be the team I'll be keeping an eye on. Bud's a good coach but the west is tough. It will be interesting. Suns schedule is odd, they play the Clippers twice and the Lakers twice in their first 5 games.

I think the east might be pretty good? 48 wins, 4 or 5 seed but we get there looking better than we did last season.

Going to be optimistic that Dame bounces back in a good way and makes an all nba team. Giannis is still Giannis but we notice a drop off in athleticism that freaks us all out. Bobby gets traded.

Boston go b2b

Bucks stuff:
- Team could win in the mid-high 50s, but due to some injuries here and there and classic veteran team coasting in the RS, ends up 50-32.
- Team locks in for the postseason, Giannis/Dame are available this time around, and we beat OKC in the finals in 6.
- Bobby Portis minutes continue to make me physically ill

More general NBA stuff:
- Bud has the Suns playing great basketball when they’re healthy and they look like the best team in the West when full strength, but they get worked by injuries again
- SGA gets his first MVP
- Edey makes a big impact year 1 and Memphis is right back near the top of the West

55-27

Seed doesn't matter.

We win it all if we're (relatively) healthy. We don't if we're not.

**** I really don’t know. If we’re healthy we’re a decent chance of making a deep run but the likelihood of Giannis Dame and Midds staying healthy when it counts quite frankly is low.

47-53 wins in the regular season.

If healthy, we’re up there with the other contenders. If not, we’re first or second round fodder again.

48 wins. D still looks the same in preseason. Injuries has hurt us in the playoffs like 3 years in a row and now the 3 main guys are a year older. 2nd round exit. Boston repeats.

Bucks finish the season with 60+ wins and go on to win the Championship.

Celtics fail to secure HCA and lose in the 1st round. :)

53 wins.

AJJ has a small place in the rotation because of his defense and ball handling.
