I had 56 wins, but I admit I totally missed it.
I thought GH and KI would be available for the whole year.

I made my comment after the Hayward injury, so I feel pretty good about how I gauged the NBA landscape at the time.

This feels like 56-26 to me.

Looks like Hayward going down only cost them 1 win.  ;)

Actually, after his injury I think I adjusted my prediction to 46-36 so I'm very happy with this season.

My prediction of 82-0 would have been correct if those 2 were healthy and I stand by that!
ok fine

I was right on the money but the number 55 just popped in my head instead of it being a product of my analysis.

Depends on how much progress we see from the youngsters and Hayward's integration to a lesser extent. Last year IT carried this team, had an outrageous shooting year, and had the highest TS% among guards (after tossing out a few guards who played less than 250 minutes). IT was outrageous in the 4th quarter and allowed the Cs to exceed their projected win total based on net points differential by 5 games because they won many close games. That being said, adding more shooting and more depth should allow all players more open shots.

I'll shoot for 55 wins just to throw out a number, but IF the youth (Brown and Tatum) mature their games fast enough or carry their pre-season performances into the regular season (Smart and Rozier), then 60 games is possible. That is a lot of IFs though.

I hit the number after an exhaustive SWAG, but we could have easily been 60+ without the injuries.
