    I hope I’m wrong, but I see us strugling mightly out of the gate. We should expect improvements as the season progresses though. Really hope I’m wrong and the team clicks right on. We can only hope and support.

    Will we make it to halftime of the first game without calling Jalen Green a bust?

    Jock is the franchise player that covers the whole Down Under.

    And it's his birthday, it's his birthday.

    30-52 is my expectation. That would be a 40% improvement.

    Officially I'm late to the party, but I been getting my heart broken since '98 and lurking since about '03. But these kids are special. You can feel it. They respect the hell out of Ime as well. 40 wins is possible! Only thing that would make this more exciting would be hearing Bill Worrell. It's Game Day I'm pumped!

    I like Brooks, but FVV is the only one that would leave us f***ed. Tari, Tate, and Cam could adequately fill his role.

    I can’t stand our current announcers, especially Hollins. Worrel just got old, but I would take any of our past color guys with the exception of Clyde over Hollins.

    38-44 is where my head is at. Too much talent on the team and I think from SL thru pre-season we're 8-2 under Udoka while also looking like a functioning basketball team.

    It's a positive season for me no matter what now that KPJ and Silas are gone from this team.

    I expect 33-34 wins, as we're developing/forging an identity/learning to kill. Tough start, then some traction. 40 would shock me.

    This will be the first season where I have my own boy. He's 3 months old, and I figure it's never too early to show him the real meaning of a letdown in spectator sports.

    If FFV got injured than Amen is going to be thrown into the fire like Jalen and Jabari their rookie years.
