55 WCF 3rd year in a row

Put me down for 42 with a play-in loss. I think Ant asks for a trade next summer.

Wolves sitting at 10-5 on pace for 55 wins.

However our schedule has been light and we haven't beaten good team yet. I'd say OK start, but not where we would like to be.

Yeah, 10-0 against teams with losing records, and 0-5 against teams with winning records. Mathematically a 10-5 record projects to 55 wins, but if you only beat teams with losing records, it's more like 41 wins. So I'll go out on a limb and predict the Wolves will end up with somewhere between 41 and 55 wins!

Friday night against the Suns will tell us a lot about who we really are, as they are 9-6. I saw an early line that had the Wolves favored by 3 1/2, and that probably has a lot to do with the Suns missing Green and maybe Allen...of course we don't know if Jaden will play. It's a huge game for us not only because we have a chance for our first win against a winning team, but also because it's a cup game. I'm usually a homer optimist, but unless Ant gets out of his doldrums, I think there will be a lot of gloom and doom on this board Friday night and Saturday.
