Washington seems to be oddly low and pessimistic.

Toronto, Boston, Indiana, and New York - that's adorable guys.

Indiana, Boston more than Washington? Detriot, Charlotte, and the Knicks tied? Ok fan forums...

2015: 49 Wins

Losses: Amir, Vasquez (I really don't consider Lou a loss)

Additions: Carroll, Biyombo, Scola, Joseph, Wright, Powell

So... Worse team? Alright, whatever the Milwaukee fan must be right.

A 60 win team, four 50 win teams, three 45 win teams, four more over 40, two more in the 30s and only one team winning less than 30 games?

East coast fans are nothing if not optimistic.

That's the best you got? :lol:

That's a weak attempt at a gotcha. The Bucks finished with a better record last year, have more high upside prospects, and added Monroe + more of Parker. After the Monroe signing you had a plethora of neutrals picking the Bucks 3rd-5th in the conference. That should get you 45+ wins easily. Where are these projections from neutrals for Boston?

But no, you're right, we're being biased too. We're being dramatically pragmatic in comparison.

It's all in good fun. There are plenty of optimistic fans on these forums. Plenty of us crotchety bastards who undersell our own team each year as well.

Uh you guys had one more win and were a trainwreck to end the season. Not to mention the disaster that was game 6. Parker is coming off ACL surgery. Celtics replaced Bass with Amir Johnson and added David Lee. Smart looks to take some big strides this season. Not sure how it's a stretch they could win 5-7 more games considering the team from the start that got them in a hole barely resembled the one that ended the season. And then you included Toronto projecting 50+ as a joke while you have Milwaukee 45-49 lol. Too funny.

Uh, 50-54 is higher than 49, the east appears to have improved, Amir Johnson was always a net positive for the Raps, you didn't replace him, and you have a treadmill team. If you played out this upcoming season 10 times, your average performance wouldn't be very close to 52 wins.

What does being a Milwaukee fan have to do with anything? We're fine here. It's not like our fan base is the one with the rep of being insane on Realgm and our projections closely align with that of the neutral.

Who are these neutrals you speak of?

Pretty intellectually dishonest to say one more win when our final game was at home against you and we benched guys because we were locked into our spot. Honestly, it was 3 more wins.

And the rest of your post is a lot more crap too. Tell me, have you seen where the neutral fan is projecting Milwaukee too? Because it's right around that 47 win #. So talk to them about how much of homers they're being on Milwaukee's behalf.

Are you lost? Posters on the GB. I can find the east standings projections and comments after the Monroe signing if you like. You're pretending like there wasn't a lot of optimism about the Bucks here in comparison to the Celtics.

Celtics started Luigi Datome at guard for that game lmao, AB, IT and Crowder all sat(btw we were also locked into our spot). Y'all got beat. The team that started the season barely resembled the one that ended the season. It's silly to include the poor record the team started the season with when Rondo and Green were on the team before IT, Jerebko, and Crowder came along. I'm not even saying the team is going to be dominant it's just not a joke to say they could win 45-49. East will be a tight race with Indy (PG13 back in the mix) and Miami getting healthy.

So you're saying coming off a year of 49 wins, played 20+ without our 20 point scorer, adding DeMarre Carroll, BB, Scola, and Cory Joseph, loosing an injury liability, doesn't net us 1 win? Okay then. And Gtfo with this "10 season" stuff, the question is talking about 1 season, that would be next season.

Here's the first Eastern Conference Prediction Thread I could find:

http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1398321&start=40#start_here

EVERY SINGLE RANKING had the Bucks higher than the Celtics. Every single one. And EVERY SINGLE PERSON that gave a win projection had the Bucks at 45 or higher. So you were saying?

The Bucks' fan projection closely aligns with the neutral perspective. Yours doesn't. Like I said, some of those fan bases were considerably being homers, and yours was one. For you to then turn back and try to accuse my fan base of doing the same was hollow and immature.
