Suns Record Predictions

[Superbone]

We actually tied our record of 62 wins during 7SOL, so 55 wins would be needed to beat that percentage.

Yeah, that was my bad when setting up the poll. I can't edit it.

Looks right to me.

Thanks Sup!

No worries.

[Nodack]

It looks like the 46-50 range is getting the most hits.

[Indy]

It looks like the 46-50 range is getting the most hits.

Yeah, as of right now over 50% of the people that voted think it will be in that range.

What a difference a year makes! Remember my bet last year for over 30 for a full 82 game season?

I think we are all wildly optimistic.

It’s that part of the year, so let’s enjoy it a little. Real games can bring real expectations but as today, we are still undefeated

Vegas over-under is 38.5. I voted 50. And I’m the one always pitching “If you’re smarter than the betting markets, why aren’t you making money off them?”

I think we're looking at the equivalent of a 50 win season in a normal year. Impossible to provide a point estimate but something along the lines of 44 wins this year. Maybe a bit higher but this team just isn't as good as 1993 with KJ/Barkley/Majerle or 2004 to kick off 7SOL with a pre-microsurgery Amare. Not unless Ayton starts averaging 27 ppg 15 rpg 3 bpg on 8 FTA per game. If that happens, I'll say 50 games THIS year.

I went with 56! I don't know what came over me, because typically I would be saying a 25% improvement year over year seems about right, and that puts us around 42.

Vegas thinks we will improve by 4 or 5 games? They must think Chris Paul is going to be injured a LOT.

That is a more than 10% improvement year-over-year. I am curious how often a team improves by more than that without signing/acquiring a top 5 MVP vote getter.

[LazarusLong]

I'm saying 42. The West is still very strong.
Although NBA now has a 72-game season, it's compact, with many back-to-backs.
The team is deep and fairly talented.
The test will be Monty's ability to mix/match lineups and rest key players.

Looks like a good year to have a lot of depth at the guard position.

Yep. And I think someone said the 10 games we dropped were all Western Conference teams, so hopefully they helps our record, too.

It's a good problem for Monty to have, but one he'll have to figure out quickly regarding the guard rotation.

[Mori Chu]

It looks like the 46-50 range is getting the most hits.

I voted 46. Although I actually forgot that there are fewer than 82 games, so I may have put down a lower number if I had already had my coffee before voting. I think if I'd remembered that it was a 72 game season, I would have voted for around 41 wins.

Look at Suns history then. There are examples.

I think you'll be better off where you are.
