[Spud2nique]

Oh...25-57 final record.

We are on pace to win 24.20 as of now!

What do I win?

[macd-gm]

32 wins
- wrong and boy i hope not
Collins will be starting when Ersan gets traded in January
- nailed it
I think we keep Marco and sign him to another contract
- oops
Prince and Collins will definitely be in the rookie / sophmore game
- right again
I hope Bembry gets to play PG but i don't think it'll happen. Bud loves Delaney for some reason.
- bump
Moose will be moose which means up and down season.
- yes. although lot of down
I think we'll be around 15-18th in 3 point shooting this year
- yes. 15 right now
Dedmon will be one of the most improved players in the league. Also think we'll keep him.
- looking good so far
Baze will bounce back a little bit but i don't expect any big breakthrough
- this was easy but still right
Dorsey will play his way into the rotation and hopefully become a sniper off the bench. Might be end of the season though.
- getting there
Tiago Plumlee will crack some good jokes with Bob and Nique and keep saying he'll be back soon.
- Plumlee has been better than i expected. i was wrong
We will be VERY active at the deadline but likely will mean MORE PICKS!
- wrong again although i don't think it was lack of trying
Delaney will shoot terribly from 3
- wrong. Didn't think i'd miss this one but 36% is certainly not terrible.
Dennis will average 20 points / 6 assists
- I'm a jenius. plain and simple

1. I've accepted that this will be a Development over wins season(we'll have games like we did against the Grizz and stinkers like we did against Dallas) #DevelopmentOverWins.
2. Dennis - we know he can score but can he lead and be an effective floor general. All eyes on him.
3. Prince or Dennis in the running for MIP
4. Collins as 1st team rookie selection - if Bud had played him more.
5. Collins, Prince and Bembry in rookie/sophmore game. 2 of 3
6. Baze should have a bounce back year (he can't be any worse than last year)
7. More Bembry running the offense Season lost to injuries.
8. Will Moose look like an NBA player for a full season?
9. I would love to see Collins starting by Jan. 2018. Feb
10. I can't wait for the trade deadline, it's gonna be fun: Dedmon, Illyasova, Belinelli, who gets us picks and/or young talent? Baze can he play well enough so we can move him without including an asset? (I don't think we'll move ALL our vets). . Baze did play well enough where he wasn't a total negative.
11. #DelaneyStillSucks - will he finally show us why he got an NBA contract (or he'll be heading back to the EuroLeague soon enough) he had a rough start yo the season at PG, but played well once he got moved to SG
12. Bembry, will he learn to shoot?
13. Tyler Dorsey and Brussino will spend ample time in the GL. Tyler did and made the regular rotation
14. Will we learn to make a post entry pass, sigh.
15. Our defense will be top 10 (as long as it's not what Bud rolled out against Mavs)
16. Collins leads the team in rebounds close.
17. If we make the playoffs on the back of the young core guys, I'm ok with it. If it's our vets I won't like it much.
18. Rooting for the #1pick!!!

29 Wins.

You'd better be .
I hope Boston and Philly aren't resting their guys.
Toronto has got the #1 seed so Boston might rest.
Philly is still in a race for 3rd with Cavs, so prolly no rest.

Ya I’m dead scared of Boston resting. I wish we played the Nuggets instead lol. I don’t think they will lose again in the regular season. Go Sap!
