So Who Predicted Correctly?

[catch20two]

I guess we'll be using injuries as a excuse every season since no team in the league ever goes injury free.

I voted 42 wins. I'm very disappointed in myself. I knew that we would regress but damn I didn't expect for us to regress completely out of the playoffs.

I voted more than 57 wins WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS BE MOAR POSITIVE LIEK ME!!!!!! Seriously guys, if you think this super team wasn't capable of going undefeated the door to the Warriors forum is right over there.


Being super serial, I thought that Sessions would be a good signing (lateral move with Lin at worst), that Batum would justify his new contract (I guess you could argue he did) and I was optimistic that MKG, Kemba, Cody, Lamb and Frank would make good progress (sorta right?). I suspected that Hibbert would be an abysmal failure but was afraid to really voice that opinion in fear of eating crow, especially after 1st game Roy was a beast. I kind of suspected that Marv wouldn't be as good as contract-year Marv but there are worse contracts for sure.

I did not see the Plumlee trade coming. I'm still kind of numb from that like a glancing blow to the bollocks.

I thought we'd make the playoffs, for sure. The East is getting tougher and tougher it seems.

I thought the same going into the season and I'm not so sure Ramon is a lost cause, I think he played injured for longer than we'll ever know before finally getting surgery.

I think MKG was the biggest disappointment, just not the impact player it seemed he could be. Cody was great, but hurt too much. Kemba was terrific, Batum is as I thought but was hoping for more impact. I didn't like Hibbert, he had very few good games. Sessions had glimpses of getting it going, but mostly fizzled. Frank, I don't know. There's upside. Lamb didn't rise up like I was hoping. Marv came down to Earth some. Weber looks OK, but he's probably not the answer as 2nd team PG.

Ultimately, no Lee, great for just being an experienced player who can drain shots when needed and made plays and played wonderful D, Lin took pressure off of Kemba some and could be an X factor and take over some games, and big Al offered the inside post game to go to for periods of games. Their contributions just weren't made up on this year's edition. But, really liked the effort of the late winning streak. Kemba had an all-star year. And I hope Cho figures it out and fills in the holes in the off-season. Get Kemba help. I don't think this is a rebuilding team. I think it is a team that with the right ingredients, is a 5-6 seed playoff team.

What was he even injured for? Feels like forever ago, I don't even remember what happened.

I really have no idea if we keep him or not. I think at this point I'll be very mildly surprised if we do, but can see why they would.

We had depth issues. Many on here have tied the problems from injuries to lack of depth.

We can agree on that. Even Stevie Wonder could see that we'd have depth issues before the season started after that poor offseason Cho executed.

Yet here we are with everyone, yourself included, not predicting how this season went down.

I don't see how one could have predicted Sessions' drop off in efficiency.

Yea we underestimated how poor of a job Cho really did lol.

I'm not too fond of the injury excuse either. Every team has them. We just didn't add/keep enough 'quality' depth so it exposed just how average to below average our team is overall.

I get your point on crying injury and I do think it's fair, it's true that crying injury is really the same as saying we had poor depth.

It really does suck that we got an out of shape and then injured Miles and then bizarrely long injuries to Ramon and Cody. I also think the Roy of our first game was closer to the real Roy than the one that came back from his knee injury.

But with all that said, injuries are a part of the game and the ones we had aren't solely responsible for derailing the season.

When I made my prediction it was built more on the poor offseason for depth, then the expected drop off I anticipated from Batum and Marvin as key parts of our offense (felt they would never again hit he numbers they did in their contract year). Close behind was a lack of confidence in MKG being able to contribute at enough of a level to matter. I was pleasantly surprised at how important Cody became to our team, so his injury certainly hurt the chances of getting to the playoffs. If Kemba had not blown up into a full-sized all-star performer we wouldn't have been close to a playoff team.
