how am I still one of the lower numbers? Nobody chose to stand on a ledge and say "35! Everything falls apart"
Things are changing.

In the brutal western conference put me down for 47 wins. We have a deeper team this year than last, or atleast our bench fits much better together. Heck, two of our rotation players in Nowell and Rivers are no longer on NBA rosters. But I’ve learned from last year’s mistakes, so my estimate is conservative of my expectations. I’m still a Homer though, so I’m cautiously opTIMistic for the OVER!
Also, Leonard Miller is going to make many of us happy in the years to come. Ant, McD and Lenny seem like a perfect core to build around….told you I was a Homer!

Ah yes, bringing some sobriety back into the picture after a run of quite bullish predictions.

A couple observations: We have every win total covered from 44 to 57 and only one opTimistic pick outside that range. Only one prognosticator portends the Wolves to finish below the over/under of 44.5. I know at least one regular hasn't yet posted his prediction and maybe that one will fall outside the range on the negative side. Hope all you homers and optimists are finally right this year!

Nowell hasn't hooked up with any team?

He was in the Kings' training camp, but didn't make the final roster.

Well, some of us would like to know what you actually think of the team, regardless of your wins prediction. And since I'm close to the bottom of the distribution curve, I don't find 42 all that pessimistic. Going over .500 in the West means you are a pretty good team.
