It is a weird year, if we go for the averages I'd say 40. I still think this team has a lot to offer and the East outside of CLE, ORL and mostly the Knicks, doesn't have that many serious "contending" teams. It could be 40, it could be 30.. It is a really weird year, but I do expect big things from Pritch, Brown, White, Hauser and even guys like Queta, Boucher, Minot and Hugo.
Good assessment:

We’ll finish below 500. 35 wins, maybe?

I’m feeling I was a bit optimistic guessing 47-49

BTW, I ran into him last about 11-12 days ago in LA, before he made the trip to Boston. I briefly talked to him.

30-37 feels like an appropriate range. Theyre probably a 34-36 win team but injury luck, shooting variance etc all factors in.

but important to keep in mind that once enough early losses appear, the incentives to be mediocre or bad become heavier and heavier.

6-14 or 7-13 in the first quarter of the season is not implausible, looking at the schedule.

I thought they could win 50 but if they keep tanking it will be more like 30.

I said 34-36, but I hope I was high with my estimate.

I think the team could definitely win 42+ but the incentivizes just aren't gonna be there. Jaylen tweaks something, he's sitting.

I'd be lying if I denied my view hasn't changed with the 0-3 start. I would have said 44-46 before the season started but now I'm thinking more like 34-36. With an injury, the whole season could unravel.

I was being way too optimistic with my predication. Going to say 30 wins now.
