I suppose we will still have the thread of us predicting stats for all of our players, the standings in each conference at the end of the season, the award winners and etc.

but for the heck of it - I'm going with 28-54.

20-25 wins, but a lot of close losses, and a really good feeling about the future at the end of the year.

28-30 wins for me and we will be fun to watch and will be in most games....like a more talented version of the old bickerstaff teams. We will see a solid foundation form.

Not much chance of a 40 win season without a low post scorer on the roster, but at least our interior defense no longer has a welcome sign. I'll say 25- 30 wins base solely on the obvious defensive improvement we made with Kidd, Taylor, and Haywood.

I dont think we will crack 20 wins.

There will be some positive moments but some total blow outs as well.

We'll pick up some wins early before we realise how bad we are.

We can't be but so bad this year. We now have three shot blocking centers. Our defense no longer has a soft creamy middle.

Last year we had no depth and no coaching. This year we have depth and coaching. I think a lot of people will take us for granted like our expansion year but we have much better talent than that year and some teams will roll over and not put the effort in. 32-50

17-65.... even adding Haywood, MKG, Taylor and Gordon I'm not sure we're going to be that good. At the very least the team shouldn't look like an expansion franchise( I hope)

Funny how so many people think that we will have such a bad year. Last year this time when we had no NBA center, and no depth I was the only one who didn't think we would win 18 games. This year with both of those issues addressed people think we will feed off the bottom. That really tickles me.
