I think 55 to 60 should be the goal.  Anything under 50 is unacceptable. Injuries will always pop up for everyone but that's  my take. If we have enough depth we get to the goal if we don't then 50 should be minimal total.

As currently constituted without additional rebounding help - 54.

I believe we over-achieved in regular season slightly last year and it will take the team a bit to gel with the significant roster over-haul especially in the second unit.

I do believe by playoffs we will be a far better team and will again reach ECF and have a better showing than this year with a punchers chance of getting to the finals.

55-59 wins. The Cs technically over-performed last year with an expected W-L of 48-34. I think at times they under-performed last year and the second unit in particular had an awful time trying to score. The addition of Hayward makes this a much more dangerous team especially since either he or IT will probably be on the floor at all times. Add in a pure talented scorer like Tatum also off the bench and there's a lot more scoring punch on the floor at any given time.

So w/o major injuries this looks like a 56-58 win team to me.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

I think 55 and ECF is the least this team should accept. Weaker Eastern conference, plus significant upgrades in talent and toughness.

I voted 50-54, with them flipping the switch in the playoffs.
