Poll runs for 3 days and voting is meant for suns fans only because we are the poor chaps whose hopes may be up,

i hope i can remember to make another at the end of preseason. Lets see how all those positive media articles/player quotes influence our expectations before we have seen them play a single preseason game and get a sense of fans vs Vegas odds(26,5 wins).

I say 35 wins.

I can say "I`VE BEEN DUPED", all those positive pieces have flushed out my reservations about our youth and previous season performance (" hey now, chemistry makes up for it, THEY SAID they are all on a SAME PAGE man, BLEDSOE is an all star and yeah Knight might be better than terrible in the 6 man role, BOOKER IS SOOO IMPROVED, LEN IS OK, etc)

: )
Ok tone down that level or 2 and then you get my real feelings, but i do believe that Watsons methods are removing a lot of fear and anxiety and that is a factor that is not accounted for in vegas calculations ( of where did i put those feelings coefficient spreadsheet, need that in factoring suns wins total)

Yeah im a big fat dummy.
(tone that down a level or 2 please !)

39-41 wins !
: )




Better All-Around Vibe
Brandon Knight is the first to admit that every team is feeling good around October. Still, even he couldn't help but notice the similarities between his current teammates and his former ones on a feel-good Bucks team before being trade last season.

"It's kind of like the same feeling I had last year with the Bucks," Knight said. "A young, tight-knit group with a couple veterans pieced in here and there."

That mix has produced what Chandler dubbed "one of the best training camps I've ever had." The reasons are both visible and audible. Guys are talking to each other as players and friends, making for a boisterous but focused atmosphere at team practices.

"That's one of our big emphases," Hornacek said. "We had a lot of quiet guys last year. Tyson [Chandler] kind of starts that, but now they're all doing it." http://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/5-takeaways-suns-training-camp

That was last year ! Things were different then!

45+ , I believe in our guys.

More than 26. That's the only prediction I'll make

26 wins!!!

I'm not sure what to expect, though I don't expect the rookies to play a ton of minutes. They have three rookies, not all that many more than most other teams.

But I'm not traveling over to the Clips board telling them I expect 30 something wins because Paul and Griffin are likely to get injured because they did last year either.

Jiminy Crickits , i forgot to mention that it is meant for suns fans only , because it is highly likely the have been the subject "of suns media brainwashing" not fans of other teams. They have their own washers.

I make my opinion based on facts not what i want to happen, people are underestimated the Suns young core Booker, Bender, Marquese Chriss and Bledsole are awesome players, and the Suns plays on the most difficult conference

I say we shock the world and win an astonishing, 31 games.

Big thanks to everyone.

So 36 wins is the fan expectation before preseason. + 9,5 vs Vegas odds .

Please take part in part 2 of this poll at the end of preseason.

I said 42. We got a lot of fire power with Bledsoe/Book/Warren and Knight off the bench. We don't have any post scoring which is the biggest concern of mine.

For me the biggest concern is defense. Who is going to guard opposite stars? Booker? Warren? Dudley?

We will not be good defensively. Our best defenders are still Tucker and Bledsoe. Our only hope in winning games this year is to be lights out on offense and just outscore the other teams. The teams without the best offenses will obviously be the easiest ones to beat unless they just have a phenomenal defense.
