First 20 games predictions

LordRiley · Post #1 » by **LordRiley** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 1:04 pm

If we get through training camp/pre season injury free, predict the starting line up and our record for the first 20 games.

My predictions:

Dragic
Waiters
Winslow
Olynyk
Whiteside

@ Magic (W)
vs Pacers (W)
vs Hawks (W)
vs Spurs (W)
vs Celtics (L)
vs Twolves (W)
vs Bulls (W)
@ Nuggets (L)
@ Clippers (W)
@ Warriors (L)
@ Suns (W)
@ Jazz (W)
@ Pistons (L)
vs Wizards (W)
@ Wizards (L)
vs Pacers (W)
vs Celtics (L)
@ Twolves (L)
@ Bulls (W)
@ Cavs (L)

12-8

10-10, not the easiest of starts, having a long home trip and long road trip in the beginning will throw us off quite a bit.

Spo likes to have a flexible starting lineup. I think we will see a variation of:

Dragic
Waiters
Winslow/McGruder
Olynyk/JJ
Whiteside

Depending on the matchup. Of course if Winslow continues to be unable to shoot, he may reserve himself a permanent spot on the bench.

As for predictions, I only changed two. I think the Celtics are actually worse than they were last year so the Heat will be able to win one of the two home games and the Cavs game remains TBD due to Kyrie.

@ Magic (W)
vs Pacers (W)
vs Hawks (W)
vs Spurs (W)
vs Celtics (W)
vs Twolves (W)
vs Bulls (W)
@ Nuggets (L)
@ Clippers (W)
@ Warriors (L)
@ Suns (W)
@ Jazz (W)
@ Pistons (L)
vs Wizards (W)
@ Wizards (L)
vs Pacers (W)
vs Celtics (L)
@ Twolves (L)
@ Bulls (W)
@ Cavs (TBD due to Kyrie)

Overall record 13-6. Barring injury of course.

Edit: now projecting 13-7 post Kyrie to Boston trade. That 20th game against the Cavs I think will be an L.

I'm so underwhelmed.

Weren't people telling me that we were the second best team in the NBA second half of the season?

Don't wanna blow our loads early like the Clippers did last season. There was a point during the first two months of the season where they looked like contenders.

Fast forward to the end of the season and everyone on the roster hated their lives.

No Jrich?

Starting? It's possible. If Winslow does not help the starting lineup, McGruder may be the best option to ensure lineup cohesion.

Have to wait and see how training camp goes. Right now though, JRich and JJ may be sharing point duties when Dragic rests. If JJ and JRich are both starting, either Winslow or TJ will have to assume point duties off the bench. Neither of those players have shown much as of yet to be trusted.
