Kings total wins this season?

[Gary]

Was this yearly thread going to be started here? Should I?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Gary was unable to get the poll up, but with the season about to begin, we NEED one of these. We'll go ahead and give Gary the credit for starting it.

So I think it's time for y'all to get out and vote!

 

[SLAB]

41-41

.500

Finally.

(Last year I predicted 18. So... feel free to blow my guess away boys)

 

[kingsboi]

41

 

[ockingsfan]

50 Wins, Baby!

5th seed in the playoffs!

 

[Sac.Kings]

I put 45-49. We were good enough to win 39 games last year even though we played our worst basketball at the tail end of the season. Joerger also had weird rotations out there that didn’t work along with constantly icing Fox for super long stretches with no explanation. I expect more this season especially if we don’t have major injury issues. I’m hopeful to get to 45. Anything more would be awesome, especially a playoff birth. This young team needs validation and the playoffs are it.

It’s time to see what’s what. We need to beat some of those good teams that we constantly lost to last year. No more moral victories. I want real victories!

 

[Bfreeman]

44 wins so much hinges on Bagley’s development, ready for tip off.

 

[King Baller]

I'm going with 44 wins as well. A five game improvement over last season.

The reasons I think this will happen are:
1) One more year of improvement for the young Kings.
2) An improved Big Man rotation.
3) A deeper more defensively oriented Bench.

 

[gunks]

I'm thinking.... 42, give or take. Hopefully that's enough for an 8th seed.

The West is just super brutal this season. Nobody really got worse, besides the Warriors.

Fox and Bagley's development as well as having a new head coach, are all wild cards, but on paper this team is looking pretty well assembled. It'll be a fun year for sure!

 

[allrightythen]

42. Tough conference and new Coach/system will cause a slow start but we'll pick up steam as the year progresses and make some noise in a playoff race.

 

[Agent23]

50 wins. They are real deep. I believe in the development of Bagley and Fox. I love the chemistry this team has.

 

[HndsmCelt]

45... but too many nail biters against West Coast teams!

 

[Telemachus]

I predicted 47 wins somewhere, so I'll stick to that. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they win 50+.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I want to be realistic and not a blind homer....so 81-1

 

[Iced Espresso]

50 Wins, Baby!

5th seed in the playoffs!

Same 50, but 6th seed.

 

[kingsfan1984]

I honestly see this team around 50 and would be more shocked if they finished less than more. DeAaron was holding back a lot in the preseason. He is about to turn from a Fox to a Werewolf

 

[L'Optimisme]

FIFTY WINS

 

[Capt. Factorial]

FIFTY WINS

 

[Chupacabra]

Might be between 45-49, or we might be like last years Denver Nuggets. We have the technology.

Might be between 45-49

That's what I voted. Same basic reasoning as SacKings.

They could have and should have won over 40 last season. While the WC might be deeper and better, so should be the KINGS.

Of course it's all contingent upon good health and good fortune. We lose anybody of significance for any length of time and that changes things.

 

[burekijogurt]

47. we make the playoffs on a tie breaker.

 

[ppine]

If they weren't playing in the new and improved Western Conference, I would go with 40-44 wins, maybe more. But did anyone see the Clippers beat the Lakers last night? The League is getting tougher. I say 35-39.

 

[jcassio]

The difference bewteeen 45 and 49 is likely the difference between making the playoffs and not making the playoffs. 45 wins sounds like success, but when it comes down to the wire, making the playoffs is the success threshold (no matter the number of wins).

My prediction: 8th seed wins 46 games. The Kings will be just a couple of games short, so 40-44.

 

[NME]

I would love to feel like I could vote 45-49, but while I don't think it's impossible they creep up to 45 or 46, 40-44 is more likely as a range.

 

[nicnac84]

48 Wins and 7th seed

 

[Kangztillidie]

46 wins.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I think this team should have won 45 last season so I am going to play it "safe" and say 45-49. Realizing that is still way more than national media and all the bozos who go by fantasy GM numbers are giving us credit for.

Anyone that thinks LeBron is not that good is in LA LA Land along with him.
He is a Point Forward that does everything well. He is a one man stat sheet. They do not need him to score as much.
He is not the most mentally mature athlete out there however.

I thought last night that he looked old for the first time in his career. He’s definitely lost a couple of steps. He was struggling to drive past his defender all night long especially in the second half.
