I'll try to compile our season predictions and stash it in the NBA thread.
Here's what I've got so far.
Others should toss out their W total soon before to many games go down.
Considering the Knox played 3 East playoff teams, we've started the season fairly well.  4 out of 6 good halves.

Let me know who I've missed, pick a number if you haven't, let me know if i got your Win total wrong ...

Terrific game.
All 3 games the Knix have played hard and with energy.  Credit to Thibs.

Kind of a typical modern upset, where a poor shooting team nails 3's and a good shooting team clanks them.
Franc & Elf 7-7 on 3's?!?  You kidding me.
Great bounce back game form Elf.  Pride.

Knix made 60% of their 3's; Bucks just 18% (and their two rooks went 2-3 in garbage time).  5/35 on 3's without the late rook precision (15%).
Clyde noted how Bucks to the easy route and just kept chucking 3's.  Mostly fairly open shots, especially Lopez in the corner.

I wish Thibs pulled the starters sooner.  Randle and Elf didn't come out until 1:13 left up 22.  I was hoping to see Iggy more.  He stood up to Giannis' tough-looking older brother, and got in the mix on two of the last offensive possessions. in his 79 second cameo.

For MIL, Merrill can shoot and Nwora looked good.
They have an okay bench, but if those two can contribute would help.
Portis - Craig -- DJ's Augustine and Wilson - Connaughton
Merrill, Nwora, Thannis.

Great Knick team win.
Cavs up next.
4 game Road trip
@ Cavs/@Tor B2B
@ Ind
@ Atl

Need to steamroll CLE, because a Road B2B v. TOR is not easy.  IND is good.  ATL can score.  Looking forward to seeing Hawks, especially RJB v. DeAHunter. 

Usually CLE to TOR would be a short probably one hour flight, but now have to head to Florida.  So far Hawks beating up weak teams with Capela, Okongwu and some others out (Dunn actually getting his ankle scoped out).

ATL with 7 of first 9 games v. non-playoff teams
They have a two game set @ BKY, but otherwise a lot of CHA, DET, CLE, and NYK upcoming.  Chance to start off with a fine record.  6-3 very doable.  Scored over 120 both games so far.  Fun team.  Looking forward to when they have all their pieces.

Sam Merrill was the last pick (#60) in the 2020 draft.
A deadeye shooter in college (42%).  (and not far from a 50 / 40 / 90 shooter)
But he's already 24 and will be 25 in May.
Did a 2 year Mormon mission to Nicaragua before college.
Then 4 years of college.

Bucks gave up a good deal in the Jrue for Bledsoe trade.
George Hill + RJ Hampton, a 2025 & '27 1st rounder.
But they also got Sam Merrill the #60 pick in an ultra-deep draft.

Your betting fixation is getting the best of you.
Pick a specific number of wins if you want to be counted.

Don't know how you credit me with picking 50 wins.

I have done nothing of the sort.

Bo I had "U20"  so while 18 is U20, as is 17, etc., IMO 19. is more reflective of my prediction.

lol, I guess we gotta play Iggy a lot more.

OK, on the strength of what I've seen so far (which is really cheating, we aren't supposed to see any real games before predicting) which include 3 games of stunningly consistent non-AssClown play from Julius, sustained defensive effort all around, the Burks pick-up, backcourt hope in the form of Elf & Frank dropping bombs and the Quickly, as well as the flexibility that provides the possibility of a transaction that makes us better as opposed to worse mid-season and the already remarkable effects of our new coaching staff:

I'm going FULL POM-POM 33 in honor of Patrick

(which is really soooooooooooo ridiculously optimistic considering 36 is 500)

*** so basically ceding victory to Carlos here, but that's OK, he's a good lad, and being a negative nancy was wearying to my soul

You went with 18 in your response to me.

Also, Les sorta picked 21, carlos + 1 with a bunch of exceptions.

I like Chip at 50.

Oops, Les corrected hisself while I was typing, guess he finally talked to prawns after yesterday’s win.
