    None of those predicted losses are silly. It would certainly portend a crappy season, but that 11-11 pick isn't ridiculous.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    My "trap game" prediction would be the Pelicans. They have no worthwhile depth, but if they can figure out how to get Davis and Cousins to play like wrecking balls at the same time, they'll be a handful and could jump up and win any single game.

    If y'all think we're losing to DEN after their happy summer....

    That Philly loss is a bit outlandish too IMO.

    I'm going with the opposite of whatever @HCP predicts.

    He predicted 11-11 thru the first 22 games.

    That was the joke.

    Whoooooosh....

    I don't think we lose to Denver, but they did add Paul Millsap to a team that wasn't far different than ours in ability, and we didn't add anyone but rookies.

    Philly is basically unscouted with Simmons and Fultz. If they gel quickly, they could be tough. Plus, we always seem to have trouble in Philly, even when they're terrible.

    He knew you got it, but he was playing it off as if you didn't.

    Woooosh.

    No, it would just set up for the greatest mediocre-to-first run in the history of sports.

    We aren't going to lose to Sacramento and Philly...and the Wizards...unless the Wiz get help from the refs and get away with stepping out of bounds again then I am confident we can beat them too.

    Are these real predictions? Or more along the lines of the 82-0 predictions that are hilarious
