    My original prediction was 32, but then I got high on all the estrogen early in this thread, and went with 36. Meh. Still think 32-36. Probably closer to 32. We'll win fewer than that if we go into tank mode, or "developmental" mode. Whatever: We aren't a playoff team, that seems obvious.

    :cheers:

    42 was my optimal. I do think they can it all the cards flip right, but that includes things with other teams as well as ours. I think Aminu is playing great and looks to be a solid third man for this years team. Also.... were at .500 right now... ;)

    Not if the rest of the team grows quick enough. I am hoping that by All Star break we have solidified our top 8 rotation and a couple of guys like Aminu are taking the pressure off these two.

    Nope.... they're actually behind where I thought they'd be. But since Memphis looks like ass, we might get one of those games.

    Depends when Henderson comes back. I think he is probably going to be a very solid contributor and arguably a missing piece to this puzzle as I believe we are short a scorer in the event CJ, Dame have an off night. G Hen can be booked for at least 15 a night and will be aggressive.

    If he is back soon, high 4os is the forecast boys.

    Maybe even pushing 5o wins.

    2-3 weeks still according to reports. And that maybe just to practice.

    Damn...
    Oh well, gives CJ enough time to show whether or not he's a starter. (I've already made up my mind, but doesn't really matter what I think.)

    So far we've won three of the four I thought we'd win. Now comes the tough games.

    I think I said 31. For now, I'll keep it there, since I said I'm waiting 20 games to really make my true assessment. But, like Nate said, the tough games come up.

    Sweating a tad there HCP?

    I hear Stotts uses your posts as bulletin board material to fire up the team.

    And your L*kers are 0-4.

    Every 10-15 games someone should bump this thread so we can keep tabs.

    We're only 4-5. Far too early.

    Bump for what? To remind you that you're wrong about our win percentage? It's like you're rooting for us to lose. You never come in after wins and talk about how great that makes us. It's all losses and how bad that makes us. I still think we have a great team. The wins at Utah and Minnesota were solid wins. Losing Leonard mid-game hurt us tonight. The real reason to "bump" though is to talk about how GREAT Henderson was tonight and how great that makes our team going forward.

    Go back and look at the game threads. I went in after the game and gave us props. Read the threads......then post.

    And like in the movie the Princess Bride....... you might want to google the word "great"....... I don't think it means what you think it means.
