My guess is 50-55 games. They have at least 3 players who can create their own shots now. Baynes, Zizic and Theis will hopefully provide better rim protection than Olynyk, Amir and Zeller. It shouldn't be hard but you never know.

I want to wait until the schedule comes out. There are always 4 or 5 "schedule" losses. I am really afraid that IT's hip will not hold up for 75+ games.

The similarities between IT's and Ryan Tannehill's injury is eerie. Both opted out of season delaying surgery. Tannehill stumbled and is probably going to require surgery. I hope IT can avoid permanently damaging his hip. I don't want to overpay him, but he deserves a Brinks minivan with 90,000,000 for 3 years.

I will make my prediction closer to the season. I am leaning towards less than 60 wins, but more than 40 wins. I feel pretty good about my prediction.

That's my prediction.

Of course it doesn't really matter. Finals or bust.

I'd be shocked if we didn't win the Conference again (as #1 seed).
Our final 2 teams in the Playoffs, are the Cavaliers, and then the Warriors.

I think that that we go to the NBA Finals, this year.
Winning it is another Story.

I've been thinking that we'll win our next Championship, by 2019. Which is half the time it took us to win the last one.
We're still on course. -- Keep it up Danny and Brad.

I'm guessing 55-27, a #1 Seed & Loose in 5 in the Finals.

I'm downgrading my win total.....After today's events, 45 wins seems about right...Maybe we sneak in to the playoffs?

Maybe not?

It's time to see what Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving and Brad are really made out of. This offense could be near the top of the league or slightly worse depending on how malleable Kyrie and Gordon are.

They will win fewer games than last year. All that matters is if they win more playoffs games.

Initially said 55-58. Take away around 5 wins. Longer adjustment period, youth, higher turnover, lack of depth as my reasons for doing so.

Hopefully come playoff time, they're firing on all cylinders.

I said 56 wins before the Kyrie trade...and I don't think it changes it much.

I am sticking with 56.

56.5 seems really high.

55 regular season wins, 16 playoff wins.

50. I think we will start slow and after the second half we finish strong.

How many?
