58. We'll definitely win more, but I just can't see us winning 60
I'm bitter.

If it takes Brad a little bit to figure out the rotations and get everyone to gel, I could see something like 57-25.

If they have a great camp and everything works right from the start, I could see them approaching 65 wins.

As I looked at the depth chart and possible minutes for each rotational player, I got the urge to peg them at 62-20. That's a 9-win improvement from last year, but they improved everywhere except SG, however AB missed 28 games to injury.

Still need to see what happens with Crowder.

I think 56 wins. Hayward, Morris, Baynes, Tatum, Zizic, Yabusele and Nader. Thats almost half the team that will be spending their first year in Stevens system. Also, if injuries occur to any of the veterans, Stevens is going to HAVE to go to rookies as replacements. So I can see this being a better overall team by year's end than the team that entered the playoffs last year. But I don't see a major step forward in the win column.

I know it's not exactly analogous due to the differing times and contexts, but tell me this: is this team not better than that 2015 Atlanta team that won 60? I think we're significantly better than that team, and much deeper, too.

I'll say 57 with a better showing in the playoffs.

55 is what I expect.  hopefully we see a great and entertaining season when this team gels together.

The east is truly horrible and even the Cavs will coast.

60+ wins

So far 29/31 people have voted and said 55 or more. High expectations from most fans. Lets all pump the breaks a little bit. We are setting ourself up to be disappointed. It's hard to win 55+ games

overall wins in regular season is not a great indicator. look at the cavs last year. playoffs will tell the tale.  then again we COULD take a step back in the playoffs before punching our way through and winning the ECF when we return to it. I am prepared either way

2 all star front court players surrounded by 4 guys who shot the ball out of their minds all season.  Think the 2015 Hawks were somewhat of an aberration.
