    ...I am curious, why/how would anyone predict a digression in the win column this season [illogical if you ask me :crazy:]?!?!?!

    62. WCF. I think, due to position, LMA is a long way away from being an all-star. I hope he does, but I don't see it happening. If Greg plays like he can, I think he's a coaches' pick

    I'm feeling 59 wins, but lose in the Western Conference Finals.

    Integrating new players into the rotation will lead to a transition period. Rudy and Batum show no signs of improvement. Joel, Blake, and Outlaw have all peaked and may regress. There are plenty of reasons for the team to spend the first half of the season treading water.

    If they get it together and peak in time for the play-offs, who cares? Championships aren't won in November and December.

    54 wins. Second in the division, but we make it to the second round this year.

    I'm comfortable predicting 58 wins. That's why I'm predicting 62.

    I'm not ready to handicap the second season yet. But I'm optimistic.

    Because I think it will take a while to get chemistry together, but once it does, we will go far in the playoffs.

    This team will show flashes of absolute dominance in the 2nd half of the season when the "gelling" period is over.

    56 wins, second round exit, but if we gel quickly - expect more.

    My personal feeling is that this years team will be better than last year's...but...last year we avoided serious injuries to our core (Oden aside), and I suspect that some core guys will miss chunks of time. Also, there is going to be an adjustment period to Miller & the new improved Oden. Last, I think some of the Western bottom feeders are improved which means we may lose a couple of the gimme games from last year...

    The measure of this team for me is now the playoffs, not the regular season.
