48-34.

I think they will just outscore teams sometimes with a fast paced run and gun style. However, I also think whatever success they find in the regular season won't translate to the playoffs if they make it.

To answer my own question: 42 wins. Coming into the post season I would have said 38 but I'm more encouraged now that their defense will be good enough even if their big man rotation isn't great. I think they'll swarm, force turnovers, and the only weak spot they have is Simons. I think they have the upside to get to the 44-46 range with a little luck.

My question is.. How many games will JB play?  Last year he played 63. Hopefully he can play 70 or so this year, but I wouldn?t bet on that.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
