We'll definitely lose a few games we shouldn't (Cleveland, New Jersey, and Toronto seem likely candidates).

[HolyToledo]

7-8 is what I expect but hope for 10-5 or better....Definitely some winnable games where a young team could build some confidence.

This is what I see unless something really changes.

I'd expect one or two more losses, probably to Minnesota and Sacramento (maybe New Orleans if Eric Gordon goes for 50). I'm expecting 4-11, but hoping for better. I think the first "month" is going to be pretty rough and then we'll right the ship a bit.

Yeah I really struggled with the Minnesota game. They have been playing well and have been in every game. I have watched a few of their games, because of Rubio, and have been impressed. I also think the Jazz could very well lose to the Warriors on the second night of a back to back.

[FJS]

My optimist thinking is about almost all our games are at home, and they are not proven teams.
At home only Mavericks and Blazers are good proven teams. Clippers have all the hype, but they aren't playing too well. Grizzlies had a great finish, but this years aren't playing so great.
Then Hornets, Bucks, Cavs, Nets, Wolves, raptors and Kings aren't clearly better than us.

[babyjax13]

I hope you're right, but thus far we haven't seen much out of this team. For now I'm willing to chalk it to inexperience and an incomplete system, but once we're 10-15 games into the season and we're seeing more of the same - then I will be really frustrated.

[Jefff]

8 win, 7 losses.

[DelaneyRudd]

I think they will do well because of the home games. This only means there will be a 15 game losing streak when they hit the road.

[FJS]

Hey we are exceding my own prediction, who was the most optimistic here!
