    Baring any major setbacks/injuries, how many games can this team (with the addition of Bonzi Wells) win this season? Explain.

    I don't think 60+ is impossible at all! ;)

    yo, we won 52 without bonzi, and without shane.... granted, we did have bobby and barry, but yao wasnt what he is today... take into account that tmac has something to prove and nobody will be giving us any respect and you gotta see 55+ as very likely

    61 wins, lose a very close 2nd round or Lose West Finals...Pretty sure we wont be in the Finals unless Duncan/Dirk/Nash, Amare get hurt.

    nah, we simply laid the all star team (except t-mac and yao) on the floor and drove a golf cart all over them. That should do the trick.

    I'd be happy with 55 Ws. The west is ultra ultra competitive. I dont know if there is a team in the west that can reach 60.

    I would think we will be right under 60. I am thinking/hoping we can get to at least the WCF.

    I'll say 52 wins. I think injuries will prevent them from doing any better.

    50+ wins in this division is going to be hard, but I can see us pulling 52 or 53 wins.

    Great to see the optimism, I'm feeling 55+ and have been for a while.

    Hopefully Bonzi is the missing link and will take us there.

    50-55, but we'll make it to the 2nd round at least.

    I say 55. Mcgrady and Yao would play together for 60-70 regular games, but with the additions of Wells and Battier, we would never again be that helpless with either Superman out. Personally I believe even in the God-forbid scenario where our Big Two were out together again, we are still a headache for all other teams since Wells/Battier would continue to carry the team on.

    it depends... will v-span, snyder, head, novak, does what we need them to do? will bonzi fit well? will jvg step up and actualy do something with this team? will sura do anything (unlikely) will yao or t-mac stay healthy? this team has potential, but we don't know anything. we should wait until the first 10 games. then start guessing
