Just copy and paste the following, and bold the wins:

Oct 19 - Bulls @ Raps
Oct 21 - 76ers @ Raps
Oct 23 - Raps @ Spurs
Oct 25 - Raps @ Warriors
Oct 27 - Raps @ Lakers

Nov 1 - Raps @ Nuggets
Nov 3 - Raps @ Jazz
Nov 5 - Wizards @ Raps
Nov 7 - Bulls @ Raps
Nov 9 - Pelicans @ Raps
Nov 12 - Raps @ Celtics
Nov 14 - Raps @ Rockets
Nov 15 - Raps @ Pelicans

6 home games, 9 road games.

My prediction:


Oct 19 - Bulls @ Raps
Oct 21 - 76ers @ Raps
Oct 23 - Raps @ Spurs
Oct 25 - Raps @ Warriors

8-7, I was being pessimistic though.

I'd probably go 9-6 as an optimistic scenario, and 7-8 as not so optimistic.

9-6 on the high end.
6-9 on the low end.
7-8 most realistic and team tank already have their original posts ready asking why we aren't tanking when it happens.

I expected more coming from you DH. If the team gels, those Wizards, Celts and Pelicans games can be wins.

12-3 is possible

9-6, maybe 8-7 is the low end number.

Only the Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, and Celtics are unlikely victories but we don't how CP3 and Hayward will do on their teams - especially at the beginning of the season. My guess is we'll do better than the Wizards. Losing Patterson + Carrol is addition by subtraction.


9-10 wins should be an optimistic expectation.
7-8 is more realistic.
6 and under is where the Fire Casey and blow it up talk continues.

Could see 12-3 as much as I could see like 5-10
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I think I'll have a better idea after the first few. I want to see how Lowry, Derozan and Ibaka gel after a full camp, see how Norm is looking with the starters, and see how the bench guys are looking after solid summers. I have my idea of how it will come together but I want to see it. If things look good there on all fronts and our offence has some new small new wrinkles from Nurse in it after some criticism... I'll feel better about things above the 7-8 range.

Lots of long road trips there. 7-8 or 8-7 but schedule has to get easier as we will likely play 3 of top 4 West teams on the road!

0 - 15.

Casey is fired, Masai turbocharges the tank.

I'll have a better idea after the first 14 games. After that I should be able to nail a solid prediction here to within a game.

But here's a preseason guess anyways.

Oct 19 - Bulls @ Raps
Oct 21 - 76ers @ Raps - trap game
Oct 23 - Raps @ Spurs - revenge
Oct 25 - Raps @ Warriors
Oct 27 - Raps @ Lakers
Oct 30 - Raps @ Blazers
Nov 1 - Raps @ Nuggets
Nov 3 - Raps @ Jazz
Nov 5 - Wizards @ Raps
Nov 7 - Bulls @ Raps
Nov 9 - Pelicans @ Raps - trap game
Nov 12 - Raps @ Celtics - revenge
Nov 14 - Raps @ Rockets - more of a sure loss than the Dubs
Nov 15 - Raps @ Pelicans
Nov 17 - Knicks @ Raps

Woo-hoo - 9-6! - I will take it!

8-7. Pretty tough start yet again.

Too many new pieces to be too optimistic at the start.
