I really like *a lot* of the players on the team.

I don’t have a lot of confidence in this front office to actually put together a winning team.

But thinking the latter doesn’t in any way change my feelings on the former.

It’s entirely possible to be very excited for this season and also not optimistic about the overall direction and the people shaping that direction.

Odds makers have us at 37.5. I’m going with 40 wins.

EDIT: I also think we win our tourney

with a"normal"injuries situation

-there is no reason we can't have a 37-38 W season.

-there is no reason to not be in top 15 defense,let's say 12th-14th.

-also no way our offense not getting at least slightly better than last season.

i like him and the job done until now,but Mosley is the guy more under evaluation this year.

46-36 and i think this is a strange year that 46 wins gets you the 5th or 6th seed...though looking at last year 46 was good enough for the 6th seed.

I think 54 games might win the East. Milwaukee and Boston raised their peak, think playoffs, but their depth was sacrificed, they are going to be beatable during the regular season. 76ers could win the most games, but are a Harden away from mediocrity.
