Season record predictions

[mkwest]

Okay next season, let's all make very low predictions cause it seems to have the opposite effect.

Hopefully...or it could be way lower than our already low predictions

are we unlucky or unrealistic?

are we unlucky or unrealistic?

I think we are always optimistic and have high hopes. I basically predict that the Clippers will go to the playoffs every season. If Blake Griffin would have been healthy and we would have kept Camby we would have been much better. There were still like 10 games we could have won but let slip away. But back to my main point since we are fans of the team we may just be a little overly optimistic about our team.

I'm sure I'll still predict that we will go to the playoffs next year

Mine will be based on off-season moves. No quality coach and overpaying good players will result in another lottery. I really do believe we're making the right steps though. At least in the 2nd half of this season.

Still weary on the Camby trade cause I honestly don't think we'll retain Blake or Outlaw, but Dunleavy is gone and we have cap space to make a run at some players.

Both kind of sounded like they played their last game for us. Blake left the door open a little wider than Outlaw though.

Outlaw wasn't very good during his stint here. Blake was pretty solid though for coming in on the fly and having to run large portions of the offense with baron being baron and skipping games semi-regularly.

Camby was easily my favorite player so it REALLY sucked to see him go, but who knows, he might sign up again next season. (plus i need an excuse to wear his jersey.... lol)

No doubt. Did you see how sad Blake looked when he came here? Looked like the world was gonna end for him. Unless Outlaw is willing to take a small contract and a bench role I wouldn't really want him back. He's just Thornton with an outside shot.

And the winner is - a tie between ClipperDomination and BoomFizzle with 38 win predictions.

That's about how many we should have won.

Yes, it was close to what the oddsmakers line was for the overall win total. Unfortunately I still have the future bet from the LV Hilton I made prior in October to the Blake Griffin injury - Clippers over 35.5 wins.

I wouldn't want him back either. I know that he was coming back from injury, but I think we'd do better to look elsewhere. Hopefully, we'll add a piece at the 3 in the draft. Free agency is kind of hit and miss with all of the other teams that have money to spend.

It's probably best not to spend money on the team you root for you. If I weren't a Clipper fan, I sure wouldn't be that optimistic about this team's odds.
