56, think we start out a little slow and go on a big win streak or two medium ones to end the year.

So going by RealGm votes:

Cleveland 60 (only 1 vote) (I'd say under about 55)
Chicago 50-54 (I'd give them 50, they played good even when Rose was out. )
Toronto 50-54 (Patterson and Jonas in the back court :noway: No bench)
Miami 50-54 (Wade, Bosh, Stat and Lou are all injuries waiting to happen. If they can stay healthy throughout the season then 50-54)
Atlanta 50-54 (Carroll swapped for THJ :noway: does Thabo come back healthy? Splitter replaces Pero)
Milwaukee 45-49 (Nice young Squad moving up, but Monroe on defense :banghead: )
Indiana 45-49 (losing West and Hibbert hurts more than people think, Hill and Turner replace them. Turner's looking good)
Celts 45-49 (over achieved winning 40-42, I don't see an improvement even with A.J. I.T should start, looked good late in the season)
New York 40-44 (dependent on Better defense improves wins, offense will be slow until All-Star break. Melo must stay healthy)
Washington 40-44 (Nene's getting old (32), dropped from 15ppg-11 and 7.5Rpg-5.5, Same with Gortot. Played pretty good in the P.O)
Charlotte 40-44 (losing Lance and gaining Batum - not bad. Can MKG, Walker, and Zeller step up?
Detroit 40-44 (Losing Monroe hurt, Ilyasova replaces him in the starting lineup.
Orlando 30-34 (Nothing lost, nothing gained, take that back they lost a defender in O'Quinn)
Brooklyn 30-34 (Brook has been injury Prone, Losing D. Will could be a good thing and a bad thing, Andrea Bargnani = bad thing)
Philly 25-29 (Outside of Okafor, Noel, and Embrid, name 3 players on their roster- Go

Btw I voted for 53 wins but I am afraid of something like 45. Millsap played for contract, DC is out, Korver might have huge issues with that ankle...

I say around 54. I think that swapping out Carroll for THj might cost us a few wins from last year, but adding Splitter for nothing will definitely help.

In ATL, DMC is swapped for Holiday +? And with addition of THJ, who is there more to support KK than replace DMC. That will be done by committee: Holiday, Bazemore, Thabo when back + ?

Id be shocked if they won more than 52. 45-50 seems about right.

Who's the super-pessimist that voted for less than 20?

Probably a Cavs fan...

I'm with you here. I have us pegged somewhere between 48-52 wins.

Though, injuries to Tiago-KK-Thabo could severely drop that number.

CLE is the clear #1, if they stay healthy they should be a 60 win team IMO. Lebron will be a freight train knowing he can get there by himself, now he has a super packed team.

Chicago im not ready to write off yet. I dont think they are better than CLE, but they have a TON of talent, and a new coach which , we saw what that did to GSW last year. If Rose stays healthy who knows. They are more talented at almost every position than us.

Past that its kind of a crap shoot. I see the hawks as the #3 team, but wouldnt be surprised if they fell to 4-5 and someone else emerges. But for now, I see ATL IF HEALTHY in th emix for the top 3.
