I'm going to join Sundog and Company and go with 51 wins. I realize that hardly makes me stand out, but I feel like that 49-53 win range is very realistic.

While the West is stacked among the top 7 or 8 teams, we have to remember that getting the best regular season record doesn't always pay off for teams (e.g. Phoenix) and coming into the playoffs healthy and rested seems to be more and more of a priority. Therefore, I think some of the older, more established teams (like Phoenix, Golden State and the Clippers) will play a long game throughout the regular season and give up a few wins in order to save themselves. I think that opens up the door for a few more regular season wins for the Wolves, who will be less likely to rest guys as we continue to try to establish ourselves.

I've gone through every game on the schedule, and I'm hung up on the March 10 game against Brooklyn. Hmm...does Durant play? Does it matter? Okay I flipped a coin, and it came up "Wolves win", so I'm going to join Pork at 53 wins.

I'll be the guy that brings the average down. I was gonna go with a higher number but then looked back at the records from the past few years. There were not many 50+ win teams.

48 wins I'll be plenty happy every single win the Wolves get higher than this.

Taking one win lower than the lowest prediction made so far. I know game theory when I see it. Well done, monster.

Ha, I knew you were going to splash some cold water on this affair, but not dump an entire tub of ice all over the place!

It didn't quite feel right having Monster and his typically more sunny disposition at the bottom. Well, you fixed that!
