Official Season Prediction Thread

- Start date
Statistics is a division of math with particular applications. Math majors are not necessarily statisticians. I've taken lots of math classes (including several classes of calculus and differential equations for my engineering degree) and only one statistics class - it was enough to let me know they are NOT the same. 
Sacramento Kings 2007-08 # of wins...
20-29: Disaster in Kingsville
30-35: Musselman probably could have delivered as much or so little
36-40: We're rebuilding for the future - right?!
41-45: Playoff contender with everyone singing - Reggie you da man!
46++: Theus leading candidate for NBA Coach of the Year & Sac Mayor

Got some of the the categories wrong:
Sacramento Kings 2007-08 # of wins...
20-29: Woohoo! Finally a leg up on the rebuild, potential star in the draft, and forces Geoff to smell the coffee.
30-35: Reggie, Muss, one unqualified coach for another and one long drab tease.
36-40: We're rebuilding for the future - right?!
41-45: #8 seed wannabe garbage contender with everyone singing - yippee! we screwed ourselves over again and will be winning a miserable 35-45 until 2020!
46++: Theus leading candidate for NBA Coach of the Year & Sac Mayor
Going to stick in my original range and say 39, because we are idiots. But if we start deconstructing in midseason (and why on earth we wouldn't do it in the offseason makes no sense, but whatever) the numbers could swing considerably.

Because Mike and Brad cannot possibly suck as bad as last season, and I am also basing this on Reggie controlling Ron on the O side of the floor.
If all THREE of those guys play well, Mikki contributes where he is needed, the running game works, the rebounding gets better, and Kevin stays as productive as last season, it could be a :::gulp::: winning team. But that would involve all of the planets in the solar system aligning at the same time, so I stick with the losing record prediction.
I also predict that this team will be way more fun to watch than last year's, regardless of their ultimate record. That's more important to me than our record.

I specifically predicted 38.5 wins at the beginning with a vote in the 36-40 spot. I got my number by taking last seasons 33 and the year before 44 for a two year average. If I'd known what a horrible hand the Kings and Coach Theus would be dealt as the season played out I probably would have predicted no more than a Muss-like 33 wins or maybe not even 30. By the same token, if the Kings had not lost Bibby, Martin, etal to lengthy injury time Theus might well have gotten the team to .500 if not better.
