Really, I know the West and East are both better. But we are a young team that added a bench and our starters should be ready to take the next leap. I see us 48-50 wins fighting for the 7th-8th spot.

50 is a possibility if everything goes right

The Grizz have the talent to improve to 44+ wins but without any major additions this offseason, it's hard to see them improving much. The West has a potential playoff spot open with the Suns aging and declining but a resurgent Rockets team with a healthy Yao Ming would be the most the favorite to replace the Suns in the playoffs.

Really, what have they added to the bench that will make big difference? Vasquez, Law, Allen, Henry. Sorry, I just don't see a whole lot of firepower there.

I think once again it will be on the shoulders of the starters. Keep our fingers crossed they stay healthy for the most part like last season.

As Downtown mentioned, we really haven't added anything. Look at what we're depending on.

Two rookies, three sophomores that weren't that good as rookies, an defensive specialist that gained notoriety for pesky defense in spurts, and a journeyman as a backup PG. And of course Haddadi who IMO should get the nod over Thabeet as the backup, but is a victim of circumstances.

My main contention will be Hollins' system. I think that would be the main thing that keeps this team from winning like it can.
