Lots of talk going on about how well we will do this year.

Assuming we play 72 games, how many games will the Suns win this season?

To get to 50 wins, I think we'll need Paul, Booker and Ayton to stay healthy and/or not suspended, and both Cam and Bridges to make a significant jump in their overall level. The odds of all that working out well are pretty low to me, especially when considering the unpredictability of COVID.

43ish wins is my threshold for a successful regular season. That would likely put the Suns in the play-in games, which seems about right to me.

Fewer than 40 would probably mean something went wrong with Paul or Booker.

I said 41, which would be approximately the same as 47 in a full season.

46-26 is my pick... think that’s like a 52 win pace.

Surprise! Me too.
And when I say I was optimistic, there are still six people that predicted more wins than me.

Ya think? In a 72 game season? That's inline with the Bulls and Warriors all-time records.
