Hey, Biz, isn't it time to roll out the start of the year Knick win predictions?  So we can all laugh at Chip picking a winning record for the 10th consecutive year . . .

I believe we lost them in the great Elba flood of 2018, no? Will have a look.

I think I missed the total wins by 1 👍

Just back from vacation.

Los 20
Les 21
[Bo 23]
Biz 23
Ade 23
Bank 24
Nagel 25
Zup 30
Yank 30
Ike 31
J Straw 31
Early 32
Chip 33
Kam 33
Fac 34
Klint 36

We started a list earlier.
I was the first with some real low number and Carlos immediately undercut me.  I forget what exactly I chose (21?), but I'll go with the rather popular 23.  We won't win much, KZ might sit out longer than expected, but there are a lot of equally bad or worse teams out there (including ATL), and these Knix at least have energy and youth. 

Trier is interesting and confident.
How did Vonleh look?  His box impresses in short minutes.

[bodiddley]

So Los & Les were closest.  Good job.
Then the 23 W brigade.

My pick was 23, though I meant to strategically choose 22 to slot into that virgin territory.  But got back from Italy/Slovenia/San Marino after the first game, so rushed my pick.  I thought 20-27 W's was the range.

The lowest Win totals were still over what the Knix "accomplished."  Knix embraced tanking and of course KZ never existed.  The optimists were the 30+ Win crowd.

I did not realize how brilliant “getting Mudiay right” was for the tank or that we’d really give Enes the opportunity to go out and get his numbers (Portland helps him in ways we simply could not. He should re-sign there).

I thought we’d win more, but I never thought we be so asset rich and commitment light heading into the summer.

[facilitatorn]

Who has less distance to go from how they played for us this season, Dennis Smith or Alonzo Trier?

[thebizneverloses]

I predict both DSJ and Trier will be gone next year.

[kiidcarter8]

Ok.  If we lose tonight....

14-68

heh

........

[bodiddley]

More great predictions to start the season:

Porzingis will return by MLK Day

Fultz is 20 years, 5 months old - and will be with Philly another 6-7 years at least
No rush.

[kiidcarter8]

If I get, I don't know, at least two other people to play (DM me) I'll keep score for this playoff points-only pool:



$7: Giannis, Curry, KD

$6: Harden, Kawhi, Embiid, PG13

$5: Klay, Lillard, Jokic, Kyrie, Butler

$4: Mitchell, Tobias, Middleton, J Murray, Westbrook, McConnell

$3: Bojan, B Simmons, Lowry, Bledsoe, CP3, Siakam, Draymond

$2: Derozan, Aldridge, D’Angelo, Capela, Sweet Lou, JJ Redick, Adams, Tatum

$1: Everyone else

 

$25 to spend on six players. After each round you can replace that player with a different one however the cost of a player goes up by $1 every time his team wins a round (ie, if the Rockets lose in the first round and the Sixers win, you can replace Harden with Embiid). You also substitute their total points as well (so you don’t keep the points of the guys you draft initially, only of those who you have in the end).

Sure, I will play

OK, first round picks for BIZ playoff pool:

Curry - 7
Harden - 6
Kyrie - 5
Mitchell - 4
Russell - 2
Ibaka - 1

Just noticed you have Curry, so I will change it up,

Revised pool picks

HARDEN
KAWHI
KYRIE
BUTLER
RUSSELL
IBAKA

I'm predicting that Mudiay is the backup for either Kemba or Kyrie. But I'm a lot less confident in that happening than I was before the Clippers won the trade deadline.

[facilitatorn]

I’ve got Kawhi, though I don’t remember player replication being ruled out in this contest.

Not ruled out.

Yeah, I believe Los came in with a savvy last minute undercut. Was pretty positive KP wasn't going to play much or at all, not with his contract situation and our tank ambitions. I failed to anticipate, however, just how relentless the tank would be, or the abject refusal of Fiz to even pretend to assemble a functioning squad.

I originally went for 22. When Les undercut me I moved down to 20. I thought the numbers were 20 and 18, but even I couldn’t see how bad this team was gonna be.

OTOH, I don’t think Fizzy was trying to tank. He’s just incompetent. Would be nice if we fought off Sacramento for Walton. Nah ... ain’t gonna happen.
