Things are bad, but do they get better?
30 wins? 35?
Do they get to 40 wins with a healthy D Will, KG, Lopez trio?

i still think 43ish. there are just too many bad teams. we can basically get crushed by good teams and still be a .500 team. especially later on when already bad teams hit some injuries.

we are 0-5 vs. .500 or better teams and 4-2 vs. sub .500 teams. just keep that trend and we still make the playoffs.

Lopez health is irrelevant, its arguable we are better off without him

36 wins at this rate. Even bad teams can beat us.

If it takes a dogfight to beat the Sixers, forget about this team.

we are 5-2 against bad(i.e. sub .500) teams. and we have tons and tons of those this year. i still think we finsih .500 or better and close to 43 wins. i mean, the east is REALLY bad. and it will only get worse when bad teams start running into some injuries.

i dont think we every turn into a good team, but i think we should improve a tad, especially if lopez gets benched

The East is really bad but who can we feasibly beat that isnt on their last legs?

Sixers, Knicks, okay. Everyone else?

40-45 win range. Same as before.

Aside from the Cabs sucking so far and the Bucks being competitive, there is nothing that has really changed. Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte and us are all middle pack mediocre teams. We will have our usual stretch of quality wins and good basketball until we embarrass ourselves again.

And who's to say we won't be one of those bad teams? The east sucks and yet we are close to the bottom of the conference. I say 35-38 wins. This team is a mess.

We're 5-8. We were 2-7 around this time a season ago.

because we arent actively trying to lose like some of them. and we dont have a dleague roster like some of them

being an underachieving embarssment of a mess isnt the same as being god awful talent wise or gunning for a high pick

detroit. orlando. indy.

between that trio, the knicks and the 76ers thats 17 games. we should easily get 12 wins from that alone(already 3-0)

charlotte is still figuring themselves out. i still think they challenge 50 wins

JudBuchler · Post #14 » by **JudBuchler** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 5:07 am

from an outsider, i think the nets get 39 wins, which is the 8th seed in the east i would think.

i dont think they will reach 42-43 wins like they had last year, last year they were one of the top 3 teams in the league after the i think february

JudBuchler · Post #15 » by **JudBuchler** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 5:09 am

prokhorov, there is no way charlotte is getting close to 50 wins this year, 40 very possible, 50 not a chance

we wont win less then 44 Games this year. this team will be like the 2012-2013 team that could beat subpar opponents but folds against top competition
