Predict Your Teams Season

[Shaqdaddy11]

Best case: A .500 team. 40-42 wins

Worst case 32-35 wins

Extremely unlikely case: 45-49 wins

What I personally think they'll do: 37-39 wins

 

[Black Adam]

i'm going with .500...ESPECIALLY if the team chemistry works out...

I appreciate your honesty

 

[Flauge]

49-33

Good for 3 seed in East. Heat start off slow.. get rolling after All-Star break. Lose in ECF to Cavs is great 7 game series.

Outcome from this season: Whiteside becomes a star. Wade becomes more off an afterthought as Justise Winslow develops and Wade's knees slowly robs him of his first step and defense. Heat spend the offseason getting some 3 point shooting and possibly take the East in 2017.

I ain't a bad gal! Truths the truth!

HOPEFULLY we'll start heading in the right direction. we'll see starting this Wednesday...

 

[lebron23james]

Cavs win in the finals is a sweep

 

[thunderc]

61-21 and NBA Champs.

 

[handicappers]

61-21 and NBA Champs.

i'd actually like to see that.

if OKC is to win the championship, they will have to beat several teams that I rank higher. I would welcome that outcome more than any other.

 

[bksballer89]

48-34 top 5 seed in the east. We need a 3 pt shooter by the deadline though

Holy shit. Did I hit this one or not?

Warriors - 60-22. Repeat Champs (obv)

Last year was a dream run, but with all the returning pieces the Warriors should be right back up there with the best of them. I think there may be a bit of a lull to start the year, but once the ship is righted, they'll cruise to 60 wins.

Barring any injury I would think that they'll be in the Western Conference Finals. Once there, it's really going to be a crapshoot. It's going to come down to who is the freshest and also who is the most injury free. The West is loaded that even an injury to a role player could affect a teams championship aspirations.

I have to go with repeat Champs, if only because I never thought I'd be able to say that. Realistically, I like our chances to repeat, but cautiously optimistic.

You had low standards for your squad

 

[bksballer89]

The Jazz started 14-27 in the first half last year and 24-17 in the second half.

I predict they will either start 24-17 this year and continue to a 48-34 season or they will:

Start 19-22 and finish 29-12 to get to 48 either way. (14 and 24 averages out to 19... 19-14=5... 5+24= 29)

Now that I said that, they'll go 42-40.

Very possible

I really don't see good things happening for the Pistons, unfortunately. Except Stanley Johnson. He is a big improvement at the SF. I think Drummond's numbers will be about the same or possibly drop a little. He is an athletic center, but outside of just athleticism, which goes a long way with him, I still don't see much. He needs post moves and/or a short jumper. Monroe will be missed more than people think. Reggie Jackson is at best a parallel move to how Brandon Jennings was playing prior to his injury.
At the very best this team competes for the 8th playoff spot, but I think more likely they will be ~30-52 in the mid lottery, again . I am not a big fan of the moves Stan has made, but do hope that he can prove me wrong and convert me.

Aren't you happy you totally missed on this?

 

[trojanfan12]

They split their last 2 games and you'll be spot on.

 

[logic]

Aren't you happy you totally missed on this?

Yup. Drummond has developed some moves, Reggie continues to grow (still needs to dish more), and Morris played way better than anyone could have expected. Picking up Harris certainly helps too. Unfortunately, while Stanley Johnson looks good, he did not have the immediate impact I thought he would. Maybe because the rest of the team played better than I expected.
Back to the playoffs! Now let's surprise the Cavs or Raps.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Best case scenario 7th seed, worst case 10th seed.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

The Homer in me wants to say 45-48 wins and a playoff spot, which should be possible.
The depressed kings fan in me wants to say 31 wins, team blows up but has enough depth to get over 30 wins and avoid getting a top draft pick which is always possible.

Actual prediction I'll say they go 41-41 which is much better than what they've done in recent years and if they were in the East would probably get them the 7th seed, but would still be a bit of a disappointment because I want to see one more Kings playoff series before they move to a new Arena.

Very close, depressed Kings fan.

 

[Bolts]

Very close, depressed Kings fan.

Yeah, I'm happy they got to 30 wins because it's been a while since that's happened but the depressed side of me turned out to be accurate. At least young guys like Seth Curry and WCS are playing well to end the year. Maybe 2016-2017 will be the year they get back to the playoffs.

I gotta give you some dap, you're a good fan, sticking by the Kings, Padres, and Chargers. Opposite of bandwagon. Respect.

Thanks, it's not easy especially when considering 2 of those teams haven't played a postseason game since 2006 and the 3rd might be LA bound in a year. It also doesn't help when division rivals like the Warriors, Giants, and Broncos are winning titles and making history while my teams are twiddling their thumbs during the playoffs. But I have to stick with them through thick and thin, I hate bandwagon fans who just latch onto the next dynasty or new champion. I know that when one of them does win a championship, it'll be a whole lot sweeter seeing it happen. If I'm still alive by the time it happens .
