I'm sticking with 36 wins, but it might be worth considering that we benefit from playing Philly and NY a combined 8 games. Looking at that NYK roster, I really believe they're just going to lay down and die a month into the season, similar to the Larry Brown Knicks. Shumpert didn't become the player he was hyped by some to be, Hardaway jr is terrible defensively, as are Amare' and Bargs. JR Smith is still toxic. I just see that team doing a nose dive early. If we went 7-1 or even 8-0 against the two of them, it really wouldn't surprise me.
