How many wins will Kings have in 2017-2018 season

[Warhawk]

Based on what we have seen so far? 20-ish. Assuming health and consistency and some players living up to their potential, unlike in preseason.

 

[PurpleHaze]

24 wins. Buddy Hield's number Because going to have to go off on most nights to get a win. Who else Kings go to guy if they even have ONE?
Seems so long ago esteemed owner said this season (or that season) was finally "about wins." I assume going to be another frustrating season for Kings fans but we can hope light at the end of the tunnel and not just on and on only to find out there is no tunnel

 

[jcassio]

25 wins if I were betting money on it. But I won't be surprised to see Joerger get this team to 30+ wins. The last thing I want to see, though, is the Kings picking up hollow wins at the end of the season from tankers.

 

[VF21]

29

 

[New Era]

25

 

[Sac.1989]

44 wins, we got vets now (finally) and young gunners. We're pretty set.

i might be off slightly give or take a few but im certain we will sweep the Warriors in the regular season. Trying to come home for the games in the new year and will be in oaktown for our Nov 27 game representing

 

[Henkel]

I think we get to 30 wins. This will be the best defensive team we've seen in awhile and the bench has the potential to be be pretty good. Plus a lot of teams are tanking this year and that just doesn't seem to be the organization's, or at least Joerger's, mindset right now. That alone is probably worth a few wins.

 

[SLAB]

I'm changing my prediction from 20 to 15.

 

[Iced Espresso]

I'm changing my prediction from 20 to 15.

Nooo I was low man with 17.

Gonna be bad bad bad this year.

 

[netseee]

As less as Kings need to tank for Michael Porter

This thread got me feelin like...




I'm joking, but its not crazy to think we may only win 22-28 games. Hell, thats being optimistic with the way the team played in preseason.

Disappointing summer league. Disappointing preseason. Gotta check my expectations or this whole season could be one big disappointment. It's not about the wins. It's not about the wins. It's not about the wins.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I’ll say around 20-23. We’re too young to succeed.

 

[dude12]

I'm going to have to adjust my win total. I'm oing to say 80 wins and hedge that they might ave a couple off games.

 

[datamanwes]

24 wins

Pelicans might not do that much better.

Davis and Holiday injury, Rondo does his rebellious thing, Cousins becomes main man and usual meltdown ensues, Cousins traded midseason.

 

[The Hammer]

How could I have missed the annual wins thread until now?!

After careful consideration and high level, unbiased analysis, including consulting Charles Barkley, the Sign Lady, and Slamson, I've determined that the Kings will win...

FIFTY GAMES.

Mark it down. You heard it here first. 50 wins.

 

[The Hammer]

Another good question:

Where is The Hammer? He should be here predicting 74 wins and berating all us doom and gloomers by now!

Consider yourself berated, and my wins predicted!

 

[Telemachus]

I'll say 33 wins.

 

[ppine]

I think they will be doing well to win 27-30 games.
Much like the last 10 seasons.

 

[macadocious]

26 is the correct answer.

Apparently I was being generous that day?

 

[Warhawk]

REALLY generous. We might be down in the 10 range!

 

[LA King Fan II]

I agree. 9 wins.

 

[New Era]

1

Just thought I'd bump this since the season is soon ending. I'll take the most recent but reasonable answers if there were multiple posts.

Current Kings wins: 25
Max possible: 29

Easier to go with participants still standing:

gunks - 25
mac - 25
jcassio - 25
c-webb1s#1 - 25
macadocious - 26
miltonap - 26
kingdivac - 26 (being generous here)
RichieInRocklin - 27
Loungelizard - 27
nebs - 28
kingster - 28
ppine - 28 (mid, round down for good measure)
VF21 - 29

Looks like four of us have more reason to root for losses. VF, as if by fate, would be left rooting every game for the team to win

And with that, VF's hopes for the season are crushed.

[NoBonus]

Not sure I counted correctly, but around 19 posters predicted the Kings would have less than 25 wins... expectations exceeded!

 

[VF21]

And with that, VF's hopes for the season are crushed.

I'll try to soldier on.

Congratulations to
RichieInRocklin and Loungelizard for their accurate predictions!

And for the anti-tank crowd, our untalented doomed group of players got us to a record pretty much a game or two off what we had year after year with supposed HOF players on the team. Hoorah!
