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

[rapsuperstar31]

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.

Just the third time in Wolves history the Wolves have started 10-5. 2nd time in Finch's tenure.

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.

I think our hope is, we haven't played our best or even B game against those winning squads. IF we start playing better we could be in for a nice season/postseason.

[Sundog]

And if not, this team will be a play in team. Hence my 48 win prediction

That’s the bright side view and it’s a reasonable one.

In Klunk-O-Meter fashion, I put Denver and OKC in tier 1, and the Wolves along with other "seemingly playoff-bound teams" in tier 2. I get roughly 60 wins for the Wolves. They have had 1 klunker thus far -- the home game against the Lakers. I have not decided whether Phoenix is playoff-bound or not. Getting the win tomorrow makes it a moot point and keeps the Wolves on track for roughly 60 wins.

This is now a terrible basketball team. After 10-5 and now 10-8 after the OKC loss we are on pace for 46 wins.

What made me think we'd have a chance to get better? We're getting worse!

Either the meltdowns stop and we get better or changes will be made. Alore won't sit on their hands forever.
