only one trully bad/tanking team in there, plus 9 of 15 on road, plus west coast road trip. its gonna be a hard start. i chose 8-7.

That west coast trip gonna be a real test and probably brutal
I'd say 8-7

I actually love the difficulty of our schedule to start the season.
The first 15 games will be a great test for this team.
If we can win 10+ games, that'll be huge!

That West Coast trip is brutal but I don't think there's a lot of difficult games outside of LAL / LAC / POR. Not saying the games are easy by any stretch of the imagination but there's no reason we can't win a majority of the others.

11-4 would be a good start

Where's the 15-0 option?

My gosh those first 3 1/2 weeks in March looks like killer.

I’m guessing 7-9 wins, went optimist and voted 9.

Someone bump this thread then, be interesting to see the results. Feel like most of the responses are too optimistic but we’ll see

@ Clippers L (we can't beat them)
@ Blazers W (this is a tough one to call, could go either way but will take us here)
@ Mavericks W (Doncic and KP won't be as effective as people think)

Schedule looks brutal to start. Would not surprise me to see some championship hangover as well. I'll be fine with 8-7 at worst.

It will be 9-6, for sure.

vs. Pelicans (L, schedule loss, expectation of win with ring celebration = shambles)
@ Celtics (L, Kemba/Tatum show-out game)
@ Bulls (W, 0-2 shamble start elicits mass panic on reddit/RealGM, thus a win will happen)
vs. Magic (W, Gasol will continue the Vucevic dance)
vs. Pistons (W, This is the Raptors championship game, to beat Casey after getting regular season swept)
@ Bucks (W, surprise win, fans start feeling themselves)
vs. Kings (L, when things are at their peak, a loss happens)
@ Pelicans (W, Lonzo Ball has a terrible game missing all 3's attempted)
@ Lakers (L, Lebron is out for blood, AD to squash Siakam)
@ Clippers (L, Kawhi has a pretty good game. But the Clippers support win this one)
@ Blazers (W, 2 losses in a row stirs some more panic coupled with a 5-5 start. But another surprise win over a cold CJ McCollum performance will bring hopes back up)
@ Mavericks (W, Doncic/Siakam duel with a big Ibaka game)
vs. Hornets (W, Terry Rozier is not very good)
vs. Magic (L, Vucevic revenge game, Aaron Gordon dominates too)
@ Hawks (W, Vince Carter misses a game winner)

If Kawhi came back, maybe. But everyone just dealt with a summer of being written off as the scrubs Kawhi carried to a title in the media, and written off as a playoff contender by some. I think even if guys are lax in off-season training they'll bring it by the opener.

What will our record be after the first 15 games?
