A little silly to cap them at 50. They aren't winning 60, but 50 games should be about what they are projected at, not the cap.

I can see anywhere from 45-55 depending on how many games LeBron plays and how the pieces end up fitting.
Maybe if they can manage to get a couple of shooters around LBJ. but with the current roster - 50 is their cap & might be a little generous IMO.

2018 stats (without Lebron drawing double teams):

Hart: .396
Ingram: .390
KCP: .383
Kuzma: .366

They have added rookie shooters Wagner and Mykhailiuk. Just because Rondo (.333) and Stephenson (.289) aren't strong 3 pt threats doesn't mean they don't have decent shooters.

Ayton is 2-0 in head to head matchups with fellow top 6 picks Bagley and Bamba.

He has gotten better in each game. I think ESPN trashing his defense has actually made players think they can get by him and he’s had a few nice blocks and challenges.

All of those guys are streaky shooters - and a lot of them are not pure jump shooters. Those numbers are not from pure jump shots which makes a difference on this team WITH LBJ. We saw the exact make up around LBJ in Cle. We'll see though. Going to be interesting to say the lease.

All those guys were on the Lakers last year. And the Lakers were the 2nd worst 3 pointing shooting team in basketball.

Did the spurs decide they wanted 5 dudes with the worst haircuts they could find? I really thought they had a chick playing out there
