2016-2017 Brooklyn Nets Season Predictions

[Roy Tarpley]

In what league is Lin a top 5...

you know what, nevermind. Not getting into this

This is the right attitude to take with this sort of absurdity. Laugh it off and move on.

I think he forgot the 1 to make it top 15

I think had Lin been healthy and playing 30 mins a game he woulda easily shown he's a good PG and can be argued to be in the top 15 PGs of the league. Had the Nets won 32 games (as i predicted), it's impossible to say that the Nets didnt benefit greatly from adding Lin.

Still, i got faith, we've got a chance to hit 20 wins, the rest of the schedule is soft. Finishing the year with 21 wins would be a nice statement of FU pundits, we broke 20 wins when ya'll say we were gonna be worse.

Sorry, I'm a bit late in crowning the winner of the 2016-17 Brooklyn Nets Season Predictions Contest . . . but better late than never!

The WINNER is:

MaxZaslofskyJr 20
ESPN's early season prediction 20

To claim your prize of unlimited +1s, please post in this thread and others can plus you up.

I would like to give HONORARY MENTION to those who predicted 30 wins since that's my "extrapolated" win total if Lin was healthy.

Nets record with Lin healthy and playing 20+ minutes: 12-19 (.387)
Nets record if they played 45 games (Lin averaged 76 per season during his previous 4 seasons) with a .387 percentage: 17-28
Nets record in remaining 6 games with .157 percentage (Nets percentage with Lin out or playing less than 20 minutes): 1-5

Vae Victus 30
FullContact 30
jbeachboy 30
lin is ok 30

NOTE: The mean of all the predictions was 29 wins so I guess that demonstrates the power of the people.

I'll set the predictions thread for the 2017-2018 season soon.
