They finished 11-14 last season with those two all-pros.

That's not to say they won't improve with a full off-season to prepare, but they just haven't shown anything yet and we got a glimpse of 25 games.

1st of all there were glimpses last season that this will work. Plus u just assume Butler and George will just gel immediately in Min and Okc.

Neither of which played in the last 4 games.
So 10-11.


And if you want to be generous they started 0-3 when Boogie joined up. So 10-8.


Give them a summer to get used to each other and I think they can improve upon that.

Yeah, but that was with Boogie being thrown into the lineup with no cohesion. Plus, Davis and Boogie were held out of games for precautionary reasons.

They were essentially a .500 team last year with Boogie, but even that doesn't mean much because the schedule was weaker on the back-end.

They have a chance to acquire a few shooters to help with the spacing and can for sure be a +.500 team this season

To compare the first half of that period to the second half is just ignorant. Not only because you're integrating a new guy into the system, but because we instantly lost a few of our best shooters as well. To think that the Pels this year (with whatever additions we make and a full offseason) to the first dozen or so games after adding Boogie is just stupid.

with that logic why do you have OKC in your top 5?

They started 1-6, obviously terrible.

But they finished up 6-4 in games in which Cousins played.
