    Occasionally we surprise someone, and I think LAC will be the one. It's a crap shoot. Could be GS. Could be OKC. Hell, it could be Cleveland. I just think we're going to surprise one good team in this ten game clip.

    We're only one 32 game winning streak from making my prediction

    If we win 35, you'll be off by quite a bit.

    Picking 23 is just causin' panic.

    Man, I admire your willingness to stick to your guns, but you really are expecting them to fall off a cliff the rest of the season. 15-23 (.395) so far means that they have to go 8-36 (.182) the rest of the way for your prediction to come true. Don't see that happening, FAMS. ;)

    I obviously underestimated this roster and will admit it. Very proud of the guys and how they have played for the most part so far. I will repeat that I believe our best play is behind us though. I would be VERY disappointed if we finished 8-36!

    Nice! Now see? Being fair is not that hard is it? So us "Experts" can admit we might have overestimated the roster. No need to toss negativity around it. :)

    My initial pre-season guess was for 35 wins. That would take going 20-24 (.454) the rest of the way, and I don't really see that happening. I think it will be closer to 30.

    Oh come on now sly. I said he sounded like. Not that he was. And he does when he talks like that saying we have diarrhea of the fingertips and stuff.
    Was what I said really anymore of an insult than what he is saying?
    Not that I really care, but I think its funny how he can put so many people down, but if do the same to him.... LOOK OUT!
    Just sayin. Calling it like I see it. :)

    So we're 15-23, which is ahead of where I thought we'd be, but I think we'll finish 15-25 after losses to GSW and OKC. We're still pretty much on track for 32 wins this season. I thought we'd get wins against Dener, Sac, and New Orleans over a ten game stretch, but we ended up getting two wins over Denver, a win over Sac, and a win over Cleveland. Not too bad, but I'm still sticking with my prediction.
