***OFFICIAL 2025-26 WINS PREDICTION THREAD + PLAYOFFS PREDICTION***

[Q-is-here]

Pre-season game 1 is tomorrow night, which means it's time to crank up the official Wins Prediction Thread!

Given the now perennial expectation of playoff basketball with this once woebegone franchise, I feel it's appropriate to predict both regular season wins AND how far into the post-season you think we will go.

Please make your predictions, and if you so desire, explain your logic and any keys to the season from your perspective.

Have at it!

50, because I will continue to pick 50 until they finally win exactly 50, damn it.

Key to the season, be better than the Vikings. I don't think I'm asking much.

Here is a list of past winners, a group of distinguished gentlemen that have now cemented their status as Enjin/Midwest Volleyball legends. Many have moved on to other endeavors, as fame and fortune often leads to new interests and philanthropic ventures that gives little time to their old life. But we are forever grateful for the wisdom they shared with us lesser folk! And for those of you still around and posting here, thank you for your sagacious magnanimity!

No surprise here... 60!

But this time, I actually think I'm going to be under the actual total -- I'm really opTIMistic about all the positives going into this season. And much like the 2nd Rudy year, the Wolves are going to kick butt right out of the gate!

[Coolbreeze44]

47 Wins

Win in the play-in Round - Lose in the first playoff round
I'm afraid this team will look largely the same without as much good fortune with playoff seeding.

[Wolvesfan21]

56 wins

1st ranked defense

Ant MVP

NBA Champions

Might as well go for it all and see what happens.

[Phenom]

54. TJ is going to have a big year. Ant joins upper echelon of players, 1st team all NBA. Jaden is going to wring Sochans neck. Wolves will finally win in Toronto and Boston. Mike Conley will block Wemby's shot.

This season will be the whole package!
