My bad on Brea.

Hello ladies and gents. Long time no see. I missed the ability to vote on this pole, but I'm going to roll with 45 wins and a play in tournament birth.

Good to see you, Gene! How have you been? What's the latest?

In terms of your prediction, what makes you so rosey about the 2025-26 Suns? What do you especially like about the team that gives you a positive outlook? (I myself voted for a lower total because I think we have too many rookie/young pieces and too much positional overlap to be a playoff / play-in team right out of the gate, but still hoping for the best.)

The Suns should be better defensively this year. They have a player in Jalen Green that could penetrate and get to the basket and to the free throw line. They've got plenty of shooters. Like you, I am concerned about the young pieces and the fact that there's probably too many wings (one may get traded by the trading deadline). My last concern is do they have a low post presence ? Nick Richards is just okay there and we'll see what Mark Williams has to offer.

I'm excited for media day next week and training camp.

How most of us got it wrong!!

40-44 still feels good to me.

I wanna be optimistic and vote for 45 games or more. We need to get our guys healthy and see where this team can go.

I was soooo wrong and I am soooo happy.

[Superbone]

Even I underestimated!

I voted 33-35…I’d probably vote 40-44 now, but won’t be surprised with 45 or more

I voted "22-27 games" and obviously that has proven to be extremely wrong. We're currently at a 49-win pace, and that's after front-loading most of the toughest stretches of the season. I'd really like to see what we look like once Green comes back from his injury. With him in the lineup, the sky's the limit.

50. I think we are being set up for a big time surprise. If they commit to playing hard defense every time down the floor and running off of every turnover or block, the team's supposed weaknesses magically disappear.

I think i will take some credit here.

Great call v9
