***OFFICIAL Prediction Thread - # of Wins?***

stitches said:
I think people are being overly optimistic. If anything our team just became younger and less experienced, we became more of a project than we were last year. We just exchanged 2 veterans that were integral part of the rotation for 1 fringe rotation veteran, one rotation guy with 4 years of experience, 2 rookies and one virtual rookie(Felix) who played less than 1 full game(in minutes) in his first season. We also lost the 3 guys with highest 3pt % and we might lose the 4th best as well before the season starts.

This team is extremely young and I think the lack of veteran leadership will be obvious in a lot of games. I still think we can improve over last year(mainly because of change of coach and system), but getting more than 10 wins more than last season is way too optimistic in my view.

Don't forget Rodney Hood is ready to play 25 minutes already. Addition of Booker is useful, he brings toughness and inside scoring, adds depth and experience. The main story is the Jazz finally got their future #1 option in Dante, he is not NBA-ready yet so the primary goal is to improve him and other young guys this year. I expect 32 wins in the tough West, 38-40 next year.
 
This is really tough to guess this year. There will be much fewer teams "tanking" this year, and that will eliminate some W's. At the same time, the Jazz are going to be trying much harder to win this year. Last year they were going through the motions toward the end of the season. They do get younger losing Williams and Jefferson who got significant minutes last year. At the same time, Favors has been improving every year, Hayward had a down year last year, Burke was a rookie who missed the first month of the season, and Burks showed that he is ready for a bigger role this year. I think that 38 would be the goal, but think they will end up around 35.

You are like a day late with that comment CT.
Triangleman already called that.
Google is a nice thing BTW, in my talks with bachelor and grad level students, I always ask whether that student first of all things googled.
I am writing a book and from time to time I google and find new online sources, which do help me immensely.

so endeth my rant
 
Let me go on record with the Jazz winning 41 games. Why? I just think we will improve without the Corbin curse and with good team chemistry.
 
Around 40-45. I believe the Jazz will miss the playoffs with a nosetip difference.

Best scenario.

Decent scenario puts the Jazz around 35-37.

Worst case scenario the Jazz have below 30 wins.
