    I think 52 wins is about where they should finish if they get to playing reasonable ball again.

    That's about right.

    But I have no idea what's going through this groups mind either at the moment.

    Me either, but perhaps it is not nearly the group they need to be. It doesn't look like the can do group is here any longer.

    8-7 the rest of the way would be a major disappointment. 12-3 is where I see us. 56-26.

    Maybe 52 is out of reach.

    How does okc almost have the same record as us and they've missed Durant one of the best players in the world pretty much the whole year? Are we not that good?

    I believe I projected 54 wins. So, 52 ain't gonna cut it! ;)

    If you had asked me this question after we had Affalo and before Wes went down i'd say it was 4 to 5 wins under my expectations and is a bit of a dissapointement. After tonights game with Wes gone and Batum/LA going down and not knowing much about what is going to happen with both of them then 52 wins feels about right.

    Or even slightly higher, ESPECIALLY if LA is out for any significant time.

    If LA/Batum miss 10 games, do we even go 5-5 in that stretch?

    That's an easy no, barring breakout performances on a consistent basis by Beibs and Wright.

    They might be lucky to win 2 more games if Batum and LaMarcus are out.

    Looks like I picked the perfect time to finally get into this season (blergh)

    OKC has 6 more losses than us. Also, we've had a ton of injuries too.

    Welcome back. Time to just make sure we're healthy for the playoffs. Time for our other All Star to step like he did in 2nd half vs Grizzlies.

    Around 50 wins still has us on track and in the fight . . . But the way we have gone about earning those wins, especially lately, has to be of concern. . .

    I'd take a 7-7 finish and 51 wins. Especially if we can be healthy. If we do that OKC would have to go 13-0 to pass us. Need that 4th seed.
