***Official 2016-2017 Wins Prediction Thread***

[TheFuture]

45 and in the playoffs as 7th seed

[kekgeek]

41 wins. Just think we got lucky last year with injuries without rubio, lavine, wiggins and Towns barely missing games last year. Also everyone looks at our late season run but besides OKC and the Warriors (2 great wins) we beat injury devastated bad teams. All a 12 win jump what is a lot.

We did escape injury, but the amount of quality depth across the board should negate the severity of any injuries with Towns being the only exception. If rubio, lavine, Wiggins, or dieng go down I'm confident in a combination of tyus, dunn.l, shabazz, rush, hill, belly, and Aldrich picking up the slack. Looking at those names its i believe we have one of the deepest teams in the league.

[Phenom]

I'm feeling a modest 54 wins

[bleedspeed]

I am going to say 38 wins this year, but it will feel like 48. I am confident in this number that this year I will say we will be with in 20 wins of that number. I was not sure about last year.

I do agree but losing any of those 4 still will hurt I believe. Like if everyone is relatively healthy I think high 40s is possible. I am also waiting to see our new role players play. I am just used to our free agent pickups/trades not living up to the hype (mo Williams, bud, roy, amundson, brewer, Bennett, young, shved, etc..) like kmart his first year is probably the only one who lived up to the hype and that was for a year and a half

Yeah, good point. Add Martell Webster, Mike Miller, and JJ Barea into that mix too. Watch, Brandon Rush will suddenly forget how to make corner 3's once he puts a T-Wolves jersey on. It's really amazing how nearly every year we think we have such a deep team and then either injuries or under-performing players just kill us.

I have no idea what you're saying, but we'll chalk you up for 38!
