such a small sample size so far.
With the level of talent we have (developed, not potential), the league will average itself out. A good season would be that we beat the teams we are better than (not many), .500 w/the teams that are around us, and steal a few (like Jazz) who are obviously better. Catch them on an off day, or maybe one of our guys gets ridiculously hot.
If we do this, I will call it a good season. Either way, don't see playoffs whatsoever, unless 3-4 teams absolutely implode in the west.
Predicted playoff teams:
Lakers
Nuggets
Mavs
Blazers
Spurs
Suns
Rockets
Jazz
By some divine intervention, we may be able to finish higher than the rest, as all of them are either crappy by nature like us, or featuring some sort of chemistry issue (GS/NO), but I seriously doubt we would be able to leapfrog any of the aforementioned teams. The only one even capable of conversation would be the Jazz, but w/Sloan at the helm and Deron beasting early, I see the ship being righted sooner than later. Perhaps once Boozer gets the plank (I hate that guy). Suns are clicking early. Spurs are Spurs. They have no worries until postseason. The Rockets continue last season of having zero stars, but just outplaying you (Adelman really needs to get COY if they finish w/50 wins in their current configuration btw).
Sorry dreamers. Maybe next year.
