I am thinking they will win one or two games, but if they break even or win more than they lose, then watch out, the rookies are for real and we are going places.

The first month of the season has 15 games, from Oct 31st through Nov 28th. Anyone want to venture a guess about the Win-Loss record for these first 15 games?

These are the opponents for the first 15 games. For random reference and gloriously irresponsible speculation, I added the opponent's rank given by Stein, and Schuhmann on the right.

Oct 31 @ Detroit. Stein 25, Schuhmann 22

Nov 2 @ Atlanta. Stein 18, Schuhmann 15

Nov 3 vs Portland. Stein 21, Schuhmann 23

Nov 7 vs Denver. Stein 9, Schuhmann 14

Nov 9 @ Memphis. Stein 11, Schuhmann 7

Nov 10 vs Detroit. Stein 25, Schuhmann 22

Nov 12 vs Miami. Stein 1, Schuhmann 1

Nov 14 vs New Orleans. Stein 20, Schuhmann 21

Nov 16 @ Portland. Stein 21, Schuhmann 23

Nov 18 @ L.A. Lakers. Stein 2, Schuhmann 3

Nov 19 @ Utah. Stein 16, Schuhmann 17

Nov 21 vs Chicago. Stein 15, Schuhmann 12

Nov 23 vs New York. Stein 13, Schuhmann 11

Nov 27 vs Toronto. Stein 23, Schuhmann 20

Nov 28 @ Oklahoma City. Stein 3, Schuhmann 2

Well, Stein has us at #26 and Schuhmann has us at #29. According to their rankings we're rated lower than every single team we play in the first 15 games. I think we're better than #26 or #29 but according to these "experts" we're looking at close to 0-15.

basically, expect to win home games vs. teams that aren't too far ahead. while taking back to backs into account (for them and for the Rockets).

it's unlikely to happen exactly like that, but it's the most reasonable bet

NBA season win totals released in Las Vegas
By: David Purdum
Sportingnews.com

NBA season win totals are out, and the defending champion Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder sit atop the list, with the revamped Los Angeles Lakers right on their heels.

The Las Vegas Hotel & Casino SuperBook released the first NBA win totals on the betting market Tuesday afternoon, as training camps opened across the Association.

The Heat and Thunder both opened at 60.5 wins, with the Lakers at 59.5.

The SuperBook also added conference and division futures odds to their NBA Championship numbers, which have been up since the summer.

Last October, the talk was all about a lockout that ultimately shortened the season into four jam-packed months. The condensed schedule prevented Nevada sports books from releasing the very popular win totals, which are projections of how many wins each team will post during an 82-game regular season.

Bettors don’t have that problem this season and now have four weeks to take positions on which teams will go over or under their win totals.

The season tips off Tuesday, Oct. 30, with LeBron James and the Heat once again the team to beat. Miami cruised past the Thunder in The Finals in June and added 3-point specialist Ray Allen in the offseason to an already loaded roster.

But it was the Lakers who made the biggest offseason splash, and the additions of Dwight Howard and Steve Nash forced oddsmakers to move L.A.

The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls own the most-ever wins in a season with 72. The 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers won only nine games, the fewest in league history.

I predict 3-6 wins, at best.

This team doesn't look good based on training videos. I expect a lot of bricks on offense end.

I say we get lucky and catch some teams sleeping because they don't know our team's dynamics at all... heh, neither do we, so we'll lose some close one's for sure... I say win 5-7 games? Not bad for rookies.

I expect Home games to be really close. So out of these 15, 8 of them are at home. (Portland, Detroit, New Orleans, Toronto) are winnable games. Away games, Portland, Detroit, Atlanta, Utah, we can get 1 or 2. So 6- 9 is the expected record.

Not that brutal. Plenty of winnable games. I'm going with 8-7 or 9-6.
