FWIW, back on page 8 I predicted 17 wins.
But then, I may have been a bit giddy in my optimism at the time....

I predicted 14 wins a couple of pages ago and I'm feeling pretty good about it.

We may not win 20 but I guess I'm stuck with it. Think it was Dat who said in another thread we'll start off slow but finish strong.

Rats. I was offline and missed it.
Either way. The Vegas over/under for season wins was 19.5 wins. I'd take the under on that one and post at 19 wins.

I always suspected doc and Hoopalotta were the same person. This seals it.

Re: Predict the Wizards' record in 2011-2012
Before preseason, my guess was this Wizards team will be bad and they will go 18-48. When taking a test, stick with your best guess if you're unsure ...
After watching the first preseason game, my first impression of the new assemblage of talent was this team is even worse than I imagined. Upon seeing them the first time I went down to 12-54. Always stick with your first impression ....
But for some reason, I started to do my own "analysis" of the strengths of Wall, McGee, Blatche, and Young from last year. I figured the talent is young, improving, and when a their best able to win. So, I went 26-40; one of the highest win predictions made.
After two games, I feel really bad about my guess. 15-51 seems realistic. Worse if Flip coaches like he did game two.

If we win 14 games, the rest of the league should be ashamed of itself.
