Obviously health will once again be a key factor, but if we don't have too many injuries I definitely think we can win 55 or more games.
 
1 Warriors 62 wins Draymond and Boogie run a season long contest to accrue the most tech fouls Boogie, growing frustrated at his lack of recovery from his achilles injury and strict diet to control his weight , finally snaps at the end of the regular season and picks up and eats Steph Curry after hearing someone call out "look there's Curry" Thus the Warriors dynasty comes to an end.

2 OKC 58 wins I think they'll surprise this year with a great regular season. Settled roles, no Carmelo Then Roberson will be exploited on offense in the playoffs and lose in the 2nd round. Russell Westbrook picks up a role in an offseason movie about the French revolution, where he introduces the next great one liner in cinema history .. "good execution"

3 Rockets 57 wins. I think they peaked last year and that was their one realistic chance to win. CP3 starts to lose a step, and losing their perimeter 3&D guys hurts. James Harden dyes his beard yellow as a protest at cowardly management not spending deep into the tax to keep Ariza. CP3 schedules weekly meeting with his accountant accusing him of embezzlement

4 Jazz 55 wins. Donovan surprisingly struggles a little in year 2 and only improves to 26 ppg. Joe Ingles dunks 25 times this season, becomes bored taunting opponents and embarks on season long tirade trash talking opposing coaches, gets into a fistfight with Thibs after screaming in his face "don't guard him" every time Ricky makes a 3 against Minny. Which happens an average of 6 times per game. Grayson Allen reincarnates the spirit of Jerry Sloan and every game he's interviewed after starts mumbling about falling in love with the 3 point shot. Derrick shoots 33% from 3 and becomes a fringe all star. Dante finally clicks about 25 games in and goes on a 20ppg tear before being picked up as an extra in the next Saw movie, and suffers a series of horrendous mutilations/injuries during filming of a torture scene, again bringing his season to an early end. Sits on the bench for the rest of the year rocking back and forth mumbling "i want to play a game"

5 Lakers 48 wins. LeBron averages 36. Screams "WTF" 3 times a game on average trying to figure out how his roster was assembled. Lakers team becomes invited not to the white house but to be the ensemble in a remake of One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest. Swept in the first round by the Jazz .. cause losing to Utah is what LBJ does. Starts a campaign on nation TV for the Lakers to draft his son, featuring him smashing his head thru a door and calling out "here's Bronnie !!"

6 Wolves 46 wins Andrew Wiggins suspended a league record 15 games for being as Adam Silver explained " a flat out dumbass" KAT visibly weeps every time Rudy swats his **** Jimmy Butler undergoes court ordered anger management counselling after continuing to shreik at the top of his lungs every second game "imma tired of babysitting these bois" and "NO fan favourites on this team !!"

7 Nuggets 44 wins. In a surprise playoff appearance the Nuggets actually win their last 23 consecutive games after moving to a lineup of starting 5 small forwards and playing 4 combo forwards off the bench. Nikola Jokic and Isiah Thomas feature on a pay per view grudge cage match after Jokic snapping and stepping on and squashing Thomas after hearing the court announcer scream " the liiiiittttllllee guy" one too many times.

8 Spurs 43 wins Scrape in the playoffs one last time. LMA sets the record for the NBA player who looks old af .. listed as being 57 years of age in the Spurs media guide. Kawhi plays at all star level until the trade deadline when he isn't moved. Then starts a campaign of deliberately hoisting up air balls and then shrugging at reporters and saying "ask his people" while pointing at Pops running back down the court. Pops engages Kawhi in a game of who will blink first and keeps playing him 48 mins a game while Kawhi tanks, feels invigorated by the process and signs a 15 year extension. Rudy Gay constantly heard muttering that his injury was much worse. Spurs media guide shows 8-9 players pictures with the description "we don't know who tf these dudes are but we somehow get it to work"


Honorable mentions - Pelicans AD struggles to regain his mojo after coming into training camp with not only his eyebrows waxed clean off but every other single hair on his body. Blazers taken a couple of backward steps. Dame has a few 65 point games against Utah, picks up a Rolex sponsorship

Can't wait, going to be a bloody ripper year.
Slow work day btw ..

I'll say the top 8 teams in the WC go like this:
  1. Warriors (65 wins)
  2. Rockets (58 wins)
  3. Jazz (56 wins)
  4. Thunder (51 wins)
  5. T'wolves (48 wins)
  6. Blazers (47 wins)
  7. Pelicans (47 wins)
  8. Lakers (47 wins)
Donovan averages 24.5/4 with 3.5 assists
Gobert averages 14/11 with 2.5 blocks
Rubio averages 13/5 with 6.8 assissts
Favors averages 12/8 with 1.0 blocks
Exum breaks out and averages 12/4 with 3.4 assists as our 6th man

The Jazz's defense is top 3 in the league along with Golden State and Boston.
The Jazz's offense jumps up to 12th.

Pretty sure it would take AD the entire off-season to wax all of his hair. He is pretty close to Robin Williams-level body hair I am sure.

I voted the 55-59 option. I do know crazy things can happen, so I'm 50/50 on that one and the 50-54.
It's very realistic to think some sort of injury or life event or confluence of them will result in less games won.
I hope not, but that's life.
 
Man I forgot about Thabo

We are deep if he's back to form
