Agree with that.....if CP stays healthy. I have a feeling the growing pains will be oozing this year. Hope I'm wrong though.

I just have a weird feeling that we will suprise people. But our bench is weak. Hopefully MT5 keeps the bench rollin.

Somewhere between 10-15 below. We have literally no bench whatsoever, especially at the 4 and 5.

Edit: or 1, 2, or 3 for that matter

If CP3 and West stay healthy they will surprise people.

+ Okafor can hit FTs now and is better integrated
+ Belinelli is WAY more useful than MoPete
+ Ariza >>>> Posey and allows Peja to come off the bench and stay healthy
Smith = Songaila if he's not better than Songaila

And don't believe anyone that tells you you need 50 wins to make the playoffs in the West. The conference isn't as top heavy and the bottom teams have improved. The win totals will not be as lopsided this year.

Our back court is going to be way better, I really think Belinelli is going to do some big things.

Our front court is going to be pretty terrible, defensively anyway. Until we get a legitimate center and a PF that wants to bang down low, its going to be very hard to stay very competitive in the west.

What Bosh just did to us in the 3rd quarter of this game is likely going to become a familiar sight, unless Mbenga comes in and tears shite up.

Its gonna be close. I'm hoping for over of course but it may end up being under and barely missing the playoffs.

No nevermind not thinking that way. Gonna be optimistic. NBA Finals here we come.

If I'm given that bet at even money, I'd put a nice chunk of change on the over.

If CP3 is healthy all year, I'd be very confident that they go over. Very confident.

I'll take the over.

The starting five is improved over last year. Significantly so, IMO.

Bench is a work in progress, but think back to last year. That bench didn't set the world on fire. In the end, I think the bench will contribute more than it did last season.

This team has a ways to go to be a contender, but, barring extraordinary injuries, it should improve last year's record substantially.

10-15 or so games over...
I really think this team is better than any team we've had since CP3 has been here.

No DTDB, No Julian Wright, No Mo Pete, No Hilton Armstrong, No Byron Scott, etc.

Addition by subtraction.
we've got guys that can contribute and play hard off the bench. we couldn't say that for the last few... well, did we ever have a decent bench?

I think we will be barely over .500, but def in the playoff push. this team is much more athletic then last years team but it will take time to gel
