My o/u of 33 wins is looking good.



lmao no it isn't. They won 34 last year with a way worse roster.

- Post trade, 11th in net rating
- Top 10 defensively last year
- Full off-season with AD/DC
- Slightly better bench
- Added a coach that made the Nuggets elite offensively
- 2 players that can shoot 10+ free throws a night



Put a bet on it then. You are out of your damn mind if you think they win even less than last year, if healthy.

We already are not healthy w/o our starting PG and SF. At this point, I hope we have our injuries out of the way, but it would be naive to anticipate we remain healthy the entire year all things considered.

We also stared like 1-11 last year or some shite. I just don't see a start near that slow. I'm not saying the Pels will be some top tier team, they won't. I just think saying they'll win less than last year is absurd. They'll likely play slightly above .500 ball IMO. That's why I keep think 45ish wins. 34 wins last year with a 1-11 start. I see them more around 6-6 to 8-4 (9-3 ceiling) in the first 12 this year.

Yea, Rondo and Hill out definitely hurts. Rondo will probably miss 12-15. But look at the schedule. Teams like the grizzlies, lakers, kings, magic, bulls, mavericks, hawks over the first 15. I think they can manage against those.

Just looked at first 15 games and here's where I stand:

@MEM
Vs GS
@LAL
@POR
@SAC
Vs CLE
Vs ORL
Vs MIN
@ DAL
@ CHI
@ IND
@ TOR
Vs LAC
Vs ATL
Vs TOR

Best case scenario: 11-4

Reasonable prediction: 9-6

Floor (worst case): 6-9

I think worst case is 8-7

-We owned Memphis last season
-Lakers are too young
-Sacramento is better than last season but still sacramento
-Magic are not good
-the Mavs could surprise people but I think we match up really well against them
-Bulls played well this preseason but I doubt the other Holiday brother will continue shooting 48% from 3 and Denzel Valentine will continue to shoot 50% from 3
-we have to literally only stop Darren Collison in Indy
-Atlanta only has Dennis
